Biology

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The closed system can be defined as the system in which there is a conservation of mass and energy. The amount of carbon during the whole carbon cycle remains constant.

This is the characteristic feature of closed system that the mass and energy of the whole system remains same and constant.

The amount or mass of carbon present in the atmosphere before the carbon cycle and after the carbon cycle remains same.

What does it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change?
kaheart [24]

Alright, so mass is a property of a physical body. During physical changes, such as acceleration, force, etc, the mass stays the same since we are not affecting its physical shape, just where it is physics wise. So yeah mass is conserved during a physical change.


(This is very confusing I'm bad at explaining things sorry)

Why the horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercised.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercise because they suffered from Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

Explanation:

A temporary shortage of oxygen in the body tissues during physical exertion such as exercise or a sudden burst of activity is referred to as oxygen shortage.

Horses (compared to humans) are uniquely designed to experience little or none of this.

When the body takes up oxygen, it reacts with glucose to produce energy. This is called Aerobic respiration.

There is also another procedure that the body uses to produce energy. This occurs when glucose is broken down in the cells. After this happens, lactic acid is created but cannot be stored in the body and must be expelled.

This interval when energy is produced without the presence of oxygen is called "oxygen debt".

When a horse is fit, its breathing quickly returns to normal. The longer the time taken for the breathing to return to normal, the less fit the horse is.

One of the factors that can reduce the fitness of a horse is the Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

This occurs when blood vessle in the lung ruptures causing blood to bleed into the airways. So blood occupies space where oxygen should have. This reduced the amount of oxygen delivered to the blood stream. Hence the oxygen debt takes longer to be repaid.

Cheers
