Carbon dioxide can be transported through the blood via three methods. It is dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.
The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate system. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells. Inside, carbonic anhydrase converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is subsequently hydrolyzed into bicarbonate (HCO3−) and H+. The H+ ion binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, and bicarbonate is transported out of the red blood cells in exchange for a chloride ion. This is called the chloride shift.
Bicarbonate leaves the red blood cells and enters the blood plasma. In the lungs, bicarbonate is transported back into the red blood cells in exchange for chloride. The H+ dissociates from hemoglobin and combines with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid with the help of carbonic anhydrase, which further catalyzes the reaction to convert carbonic acid back into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then expelled from the lungs.
Virus: an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Bacteria: a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some which can cause disease.
Fungi/fungus: any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
Protozoa: a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single-celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and many other forms. They are now usually treated as a number of phyla belonging to the kingdom Protista.
The answer is b because diffusion is the transfer of particals from high to low and osmosis involves water
Answer:
There are only four parts of skill related fitness in the options; they are:
Speed
Agility
Balance
Coordination
Explanation:
Physical fitness refers to the ability to perform physical activities well without fatigue. In other words, being physically fit refers to a state of general wellbeing. Physical fitness can either be health-related or skill-related. The skill-related components are six in number viz: agility, power, balance, coordination, speed and reaction time.
However, only four of these skill-related parts of physical fitness are mentioned in the options of this question. They are:
- Speed: This refers to the ability to run a distance in a short time frame.
- Agility: This is the ability to move easily and quickly in different directions
- Balance: The ability to maintain an upright body position during training or physical activity
- Coordination: The ability to make physical senses of one's body (eye) cooperate with the limbs (hands and feets) during a physical activity.
Note that, Aerobic Endurance and Muscular strength are health-related components of fitness
Answer: They are classified as a glia, it is not related to any other nervous system cell due to it’s distinct embryonic origin .
Therefore, the statement is true.
