Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation below

Explanation:

The breathing process is the process of breathing in, also called inhalation and breathing out, also called exhalation. Inhalation and exhalation are important processes for a smooth respiratory experience.

Air (containing oxygen) from our external environment enter our body system via our MOUTH or NOSE. The air then passes from the PHARYNX into the LARYNX or voice box, which connects into the TRACHEA or wind pipe, which conveys the air into the lungs via its branched tubes called BRONCHI. These pipes that air passes through in order to reach the lungs are generally called AIR WAYS.

Inhalation (breathing in) involves the taking in of air into the LUNGS (main organ of respiration). It occurs when the diaphragm (muscle separating the thorax from abdomen) contracts and moves downward towards the abdomen. This allows the lungs to expand, allowing air to enter into the lungs via the NOSE or MOUTH down the TRACHEA or windpipe.

As soon as air reaches the lungs, the air passes through the bronchi (tubular branches of the trachea) into the ALVEOLI or air sacs. The delivery of oxygen in the inhaled air is carried out in the CAPILLARIES (a blood vessel that carries blood) that surrounds the alveoli. This alveoli conveys oxygen from the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream into the lungs (a process called GAS EXCHANGE).

Breathing out or exhalation of the carbon dioxide in the lungs (waste product of respiration) occurs when the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, causing the lungs to deflate as the carbon dioxide is released through the trachea into the mouth or nose where it leaves the body system.

Why is adequate lighting necessary in a balanced aquarium?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

A. Fish need light to see their food

Explanation:

B is incorrect because fish take in oxygen constantly to respirate. If they only took in oxygen when it was dark they would die.

C is incorrect because expelling CO2 is also a constant process as a part of the reactions that take part inside living organisms, so it happens constantly (a bit like B)

D is incorrect because plants need light for food (photosynthesis) and would most likely die or have stunted growth if left in the dark.

A is correct because when it is dark, fish rely on other senses to find food as most fish cannot see as well in the dark, therefore when they have light they can see their food more easily.

Hope this helped!

The _____ theory of dreaming proposes that dreaming occurs when the cerebral cortex synthesizes neural signals generated from ac
jeka94

Answer:

The correct answer is- activation synthesis theory

Explanation:

The activation-synthesis theory tells us about the role of neuron in dream production during sleep. It was first proposed in 1977 by Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley which was psychiatrists at Harvard University.

This theory says that in REM sleep some neurons in the lower brains for example in the brain stem randomly activates due to change in neural signals and dream occurs when the cerebral cortex tries to interpret the meaning of these neuron signal changes.  

So the correct answer to this question is- activation-synthesis theory.

What characteristic of earth results in different seasons over a period of a year
Firdavs [7]
The earth's tilt. The tilt of the Earth on it's axis is what makes the sun heat up different parts of the Earth at different times, thus making wind, thus making different weather patterns. Depending on how much sun (heat) the area is getting, it changes the weather.

Identify the 2 major groups of enzymes that make the redox reactions possible: Describe their role in these reactions.
adell [148]

Answer:Enzymes that makes redox reactions possible in a biochemical process includes those that help to catalyze the transfer of electrons, atoms, or functional groups.

Explanation:

Here are some class categories of these enzymes and their roles ;

• Oxidoreductases - Transfer of electrons (hydride ions or H atoms)

• Transferases - Group- transfer reactions

• Hydrolases - Hydrolysis reactions (transfer of functional groups to water)

• Lyases - Addition of groups to double bonds, or formation of double bonds by removal of groups Transfer of groups within molecules to yield isomeric forms

• Isomerases - Formation of C-C, C-S, C--0, and C-N bonds by condensation reactions coupled to ATP cleavage

The above are however classified, given code numbers, and assigned names according to the type of transfer reaction, the group donor, and the group acceptor.
