Compare three components of inhaled air with that of exhaled air​

Biology
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

These are oxygen,Carbon dioxide and water vapour.

Explanation:

The inhaled air has 21% oxygen,0.04% C02,and  less water vapour.

Exhaled air contains more C02-4%, 16%-O2 and more water vapour about 6.3%.

The higher 02 of the inhaled air  is needed for the supply of lung tissues for the respiration of the cells.Therefore higher volumes is needed to meet up with the larger demands by the cells. The oxygen is needed for cellular respiration which leads to production of more C02 and water vapour in exhaled air.

Therefore, their elevated levels(C02-4%) in exhaled air is due to this mechanisms.This made the exhaled air to be saturated with water vapour

They are the wastes products of cellular respiration in animals. (however the volume of the oxygen in the exhaled air drops to 16% from 21%)because it is used as fuel to burn glucose).

Th volume of C02 in the inhaled air is low because this is not needed for cellular respiration,this it volume of (0.4) compared to the inhaled air.

Generally, the lower levels of C02 is needed so that the diffusion gradients for the  movement of C02 out of the lungs is achieved . Hence waste gasses are  not retained in the body. Likewise the higher  volume of oxygen (21%) is needed for the inwards diffusion  gradient of oxygen into the blood  for ventilation of the lungs,and aeration of cells.

More water vapour are produced in the cells,therefore they must be diffused out of the cells in the blood.Hence higher percentage in the exhaled  compare to the inhaled air

Put these steps in the order in which they occur in light-dependent reactions. Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to
Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

  1. Light energy is absorbed and transferred to the reaction center.
  2. A water molecule is split.
  3. Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to photosystem I.
  4. ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of  a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

  • Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule.
  • Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
  • the electron moves down an electron transport chain (ti PS I)where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
  • ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule  ATP.
  • The electron gets to photosystem I where it  goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
  • in the ETC,  the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Every organism possesses in its ribosome a protein that is similar to rpl4. This protein has an amino acid sequence that is similar to the sequence of E. coli’s rpl4.

Explanation:

Phylogenetic tree is a diagram which represents the similarities between different organisms and shows their evolutionary histories.

The presence of a similar genetic sequence or amino acid sequence shows that the gene is common in all those organisms. This means that all organisms had a common ancestor through which the gene or amino acid was transferred. The genetic r amino acid sequence remained common in all the different organisms.
