Diffusion is a passive process that accounts for the movement of respiratory gases across the capillary membranes of alveoli.

1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Diffusion is a passive process (no energy required) in which the substance such as liquid and gases moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

During respiration, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood across the respiratory membrane. The partial pressure of oxygen is low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries and high in the alveoli. so diffusion allow movement of oxygen across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.

Hence, the given statement is true.

As food is moved through the digestive tract the pancreas and small intestine release digestive enzymes according to signals bas
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

As the food moves through the gastrointestinal tract, and when it reaches the duodenum via the stomach, the food or the paste, that is, chyme becomes acidic because of the presence of acid in the stomach. When this acidic chyme moves towards the first section of the duodenum, it results in the discharging of cholecystokinin and secretin from the duodenal mucosa, which further instigates the pancreas to discharge alkaline pancreatic juice that comprises pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate ions.  

Now the bicarbonate ions will turn the chyme alkaline and is now known as chyle. It is made alkaline as the pancreatic enzyme needs alkaline pH to function on food. The intestinal juice is also secreted due to the discharging of similar hormones as mentioned above. However, the difference is that both the mechanical stimulus and nervous stimulus results in the discharging of intestinal juice, though it is not true for pancreatic juice.

Fill in the blood type for samples of the following scenarios. a ) __________ anti-A not present, anti-B present, anti-Rh presen
rusak2 [61]
During blood typing, the blood plasma is checked for antibodies. This is what is meant by "anti" in the statements. Keep in mind that if the antibody against a specific blood type is present, the blood cannot have that type. So, if anti-A is present, the blood type is not A.
Moreover, the Rh antigen determines the positive (present of Rh) and negative (absence of Rh) nature of blood type. If the anti-Rh is present, the blood type is negative. Using this information, we see that:
a) A negative
b) B positive
c) AB positive
d) O negative (O because both anti-A and anti-B are present)
e) <span>AB negative (AB because neither anti-A and anti-B are present)</span>
