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

Sort the different barriers into their modes of reproductive isolation. A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to
Stella [2.4K]

Answer/Explanation:

Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.

A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.

The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species

The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours

The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.

Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.

Why would a plant's cuticle be an adaptation on land?
erik [133]

B

Plant's cuticle is an adaptation on land that prevents the evaporation of water from the plant.

Explanation:

The cuticle is made of lipid polymers impregnated with wax. A thick cuticle  covers the epidermis of the leaves and prevents of some plants to prevent the loss of water from the leaves and plants via evaporation. This is especially a significant adaptation to desert plants that need to conserve water because they receive very little annual rainfall in their environment.

What are the three main ways that common ancestry may be shown through homologies
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Homology is a study of similar characters found in two species because of common ancestry.

Explanation:

1.Morphological homology: Species placed under same taxonomic category exhibit similar anatomical structures.

2.Ontogenetic homology: Species belongs to same taxonomic category embryological similarities

3.Molecular homology: Species show molecular similarities such as DNA,RNA and protein

An example of homology is seen in the skeletal strycture of vertebrates. That is arm of a human,leg of a cat,fin of a whale and wing of a bat.

While le examining a rock surface, you have discovered an interesting new organism. Which of the criteria will allow you to clas
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is- B) Cell walls are made primarily of peptidoglycan

Explanation:

There is a difference between the cell wall of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. The cell wall of bacteria is primarily made up of peptidoglycan which contains two sugar  N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid while archaea contain two N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid (NAT) in place of N-acetylmuramic acid which is called pseudo-peptidoglycan.

Eukaryotic cell wall is also different from archaeal and bacterial cell wall and animals in eukaryotes do not have a cell wall. Therefore cell wall made up primarily of peptidoglycan will allow you to classify the organism as belonging to Bacteria but not Archaea or Eukarya.
