Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The lungs are a pair of pyramid shaped organs which are in between the trachea and the left bronchi and connected to both. The diaphragm is a little above them. The lungs are enclosed by the pleurae which are together with the mediastinum. The mesothelial cells which belong to the pleural membrane, make pleural fluid that can work as a lubricant to reduce friction when breathing and as an adhesive to hold the lungs to the thoracic wall which is meant to facilitate the position and movement of the lungs during ventilation.

Answer:

False

Explanation

The lungs are two in number and is the main organ for respiration in the body.

The thorax is also known as the chest. It has various parts attached to it such as the heart, lungs, thymus etc.

The mesothelial cells of the pleural membrane create pleural fluid which serves two purposes:

Lubrication

Attachment of the lungs to the thorax aren’t hereby done by the smooth muscles of the lungs.

How do biological systems respond when acids or bases are added?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is - They have substances that counteract acids or bases to prevent the pH from changing

Explanation:

All living organisms including humans are water-based systems, which implies that they rely intensely upon liquid equilibria, particularly acid-base equilibria. Hence, all the acid-base and pH ideas we have talked about so far are critical to the chemistry of organic or biological systems.

This is particularly significant for enzyme, which are proteins that go about as catalysts for all major biological reactions. Most enzymes just work inside a specific pH range. Because all natural cycles are subject to pH, cells and creatures must keep up a particular and consistent pH so as to keep their compounds in the ideal condition of protonation they have specific substances that counteract the acid and base to maintain pH.  

for instance:

The pH of the Cytoplasm is maintained by the phosphate ion

The pH of the blood is regulated by the bicarbonate ion
