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

Kaylis [27]
The answer is <em>A.) You have antibodies that already recognize the virus</em>

Viruses and diseases are always changing. When we get sick with say the flu, a virus, or the cold of sorts, our body attacks it until it fights off the disease. You can't get sick from the same strand of sickness because once your body defeats the virus, it knows how to protect the body from it because of the antibodies, so the virus ends up evolving to get past your immune system again.

I hope this helped! Have a wonderful day :)

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The plant absorbs the sunlight to perform photosynthesis which helps produce the sugar molecule used by the plants.

The plants absorb maximum sunlight at two wavelengths that are red and blue wavelength by chlorophyll and other pigments. The efficiency of photosynthesis is also measured maximum at these two active wavelengths called action spectrum.

In the given question, since the efficiency of photosynthesis has been discussed which could be measured with the production of oxygen and consumption of carbon dioxide. The experiment performed by the Engelmann showed that aerobic bacteria got concentrated in the blue and red wavelengths as the output of the photosynthesis were observed maximum.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Difference between mycoplasma and l form bacteria​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

L-form bacteria are distinct from mycoplasmas, because Mycoplasma spp. do not originate from bacteria that normally possess a cell wall. ... Some of these bacteria remain as CWDB (stable L-forms), whereas others revert back to possession of a cell wall (unstable L-forms).
