How does your body exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen?

Biology
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago
4 0
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

You are working on research involving competition between animals. Which of the following resources do you not need to measure?
Alja [10]

The resource that you do not need to measure for research involving competition between animals is Light . The correct option is A

<h3>What is light availability?</h3>

The presence or amount of light in a specific setting is referred to as light availability. The amount and type of light that is available for organisms to perceive and use for a variety of biological processes are referred to as available light.

Although diurnal/nocturnal activity patterns and other characteristics of an animal's behavior or physiology might be influenced by light availability, light is not often thought of as a resource that animals directly compete for.

The two systems that work together to cause this reaction are the endocrine system that secretes the hormone and the
Simora [160]

Two control systems of the body

Endocrine and Nervous

Endocrine and nervous system similarities

-Work together to maintain homeostasis

-Release ligands (chemical messengers) that bind to cellular receptors on particular target cells

Endocrine and nervous system differences

Endocrine system: -Transmits hormones through blood

-Targets any cell in the body with the correct receptor

-Very widespread

-Exhibits longer reaction times and has longer-lasting effects

Endocrine System

-Composed of ducts and glands that synthesize and secrete hormones

-Hormones are released into the blood and transported throughout the body

Endocrine system regulation growth and development

-Changes measured from birth to puberty

-Hormones help regulate embryonic cell division and differentiation

-Hormones regulate metabolism

How does the endocrine system maintain homeostasis or blood composition and volume

-Hypothalamus

-Hormones regulate blood solute concentrations (ex glucose ions)

-Hormones regulate blood volume, cellular concentration, and platelet numbers

The endocrine system controlling digestive processes

-Trigger digestion when food is in the stomach

-Hormones influence secretory processes and movement of materials in the digestive tract

Endocrine System controlling Reproductive Activities

-Make sure sperm and egg make it to each other

-Hormones affect the development and function of the reproductive system and the expression of sexual behavior

Endocrine Glands

Contain epithelial tissue that makes and releases hormones within a connective tissue framework

Endocrine Organs

-Glands with solely endocrine functions

-Ex: Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal

Endocrine Cells

-Found in clusters in organs with another function

-Examples in Hypothalamus, Thymus, Heart, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Small Intestine, Adipose Connective Tissue

-Pancreases is not an endocrine gland, but it does release hormones

TRUE/FALSE
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A double-helical DNA molecule consists of two DNA strands. A DNA strand has free 5' phosphate at one end and a free hydroxyl group (OH) at its 3' end. A DNA double helix is said to be antiparallel since each end of the double helix has an exposed 5' phosphate on one strand and a free 3' hydroxyl group (OH) on the other. This means that the two DNA strands run in opposite directions. A phosphate group is always esterified to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar; never at its 3' end.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The Biosphere

Explanation:

The biosphere is made up of all living organisms and is inextricably linked to the other three spheres: most live organisms need gases from the atmosphere, water from the hydrosphere, and nutrients and minerals from the geosphere.
