Biology

snow_lady [41]3 years ago
4 0
First of all, most of the cell is water, and if water could just flow freely then the cells could become deformed or lose too much water or anything similar. Free passage of water could also ensure free passage of other things that might be there so the Aquaporins are needed to allow some water to pass, without any other elements. Water passes through in a single file, meaning it doesn't just pour all out.

What is the order of the breathing process
NemiM [27]
Step 1-
Your diaphragm moves down as it contracts. Your ribs move outward. These movements make the space inside the chest larger.
Step 2-

Air rushes in through the nose and mouth and passes through the throat. Air then moves past the epiglottis which is open into the trachea.

Step 3

Air moves into your bronchi. The bronchi branch out and end in tiny air sacs, called alveoli.

Step 4

<span>Air moves into your alveoli. Oxygen moves through the walls of alveoli and capillaries, entering the blood.</span>

Step 5

Carbon dioxide moves from the blood through the walls of capillaries and alveoli in order to be expelled by the lungs.

Step 6

Your diaphragm moves up as it relaxes. Your ribs move inward. These movements make the space inside the chest smaller.

Step 7

<span>Your lungs are squeezed and air is pushed out of the alveoli. The air travels back through your bronchi, trachea, and nose and mouth.</span>
