How does your body exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen?

Biology
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago

This exchange process takes place in the aveolus (air sac) inside your lungs by diffusion.
it's from a different concentration gradient
the deoxygenated blood with carbon dioxide diffuse into a aveoli (which is in high concentration) and the aveoli release the oxygen into the blood stream (which is low concentration) therefore the blood will be oxygenated again

What is the mechanical advantage of the block and tackle used to lifted the bale of Cotten?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Invented by Archimedes around 250 BC, a Block is a set of pulleys on an axle in a housing. When rope is run through a block or a series of blocks, the whole assembly is called a Tackle. The most common arrangement is to have one1 block attached to a fixed position and another block left to move with the load being pulled or lifted. The mechanical advantage of a block and tackle is equal to the number of time the same line is attached to or runs through the moving block. The pulley on the left does not have a block on the Bale. When you pull on the rope, you are pulling the full weight of the bail. The tackle on the right has 4 lines running through its pulleys. This would allow you to lift 20 pounds with only about 5 pounds of pressure on the hauling part of the line. While the block and tackle is still used today, it has been largely replaced with the electric winch. 

The rope used in the 1800's would have been of natural fiber like we have in this exhibit. The rope around the bail is made of SISAL which comes from the leaves of the agave plant. Cotton rope is running in the blocks. Notice how soft it is compared to the SISAL fiber rope. Jute fiber twine, from the Corchorus plant, is used to tie the ends of the larger ropes. It is the same fiber woven to make burlap sacks. Natural fiber rope continued to be in widespread use until the 1950s when synthetic fibers, such as nylon, became popular.

An animal cell (left) and a plant cell (right) are shown. Which organelle, labeled X in the diagram, is found in both plant and
IceJOKER [234]

The rigth answer is cell membrane.

A cell membrane distinguishes a fundamental cellular structure formed from a double layer of phospholipids associated with other lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

The membrane of the cell, also known as the plasma or cytoplasmic membrane, is a biological membrane (biomembrane) that separates the interior of all cells from the external environment.

The plasma membrane, cytoplasmic membrane or plasmalemma delimits the cytoplasm of the cell. Organelles are surrounded by a single cell membrane (peroxisomes, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosomes, vacuole) or double (nucleus, plastids).
