The change in partial pressure from the alveoli (high concentration) to the capillaries (low concentration) drives the oxygen into the tissue and the carbon dioxide into the blood (high concentration) from the tissues (low concentration), which is then returned to the lungs and exhaled.
Once in the blood of the capillaries, the O2 binds to the hemoglobin in red blood cells which carry it to the tissues where it dissociates to enter the cells of the tissues.
The lungs never fully deflate, so air that is inhaled mixes with the residual air left from the previous respiration, resulting in a lower partial pressure of oxygen within the alveoli.

How does the Arthropod growth curve differ from the growth curve of most other animals?
wel

Answer:

Unlike a steady pattern of growth, arthropods exhibit an external growth that proceeds in a sequence of step-like jumps, as the organism builds and replaces its exoskeleton. The arthropod does not grow bigger in size between these jumps. An aquatic arthropod gradually replaces body mass for water detained inside the tissues between molts.

Can a physician proceed with diagnosis based on molecular biology data
Fofino [41]

well I mean I don't know a lot but, Yes, a physician can proceed with diagnosis of a disease based on molecular biology data. It would have been easier to explain if you had shared the data with us. Molecular Biology techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely used for diagnostic purposes.

A researcher crosses the F1 generation of two snapdragon plants. According to this information and the diagram below, what is th
Stels [109]

The correct answer is B. 1 red; 2 pink; 1 white

Explanation:

In genetics, the combination of alleles (genotype) determines the phenotype or physical features; for example, in this case, the color of the flowers in the snapdragon plants can be determined by the combination of dominant alleles (R) and recessive (r) alleles. Additionally, in the case presented, a dominant allele combined with a recessive allele (Rr) leads to pink snapdragon plants, while two dominant alleles (RR) lead to red snapdragon plants, and two recessive alleles (rr) lead to white snapdragon plants.

According to this, the generation F2 shown in the chart produced 1 red plant because there is only one plant with RR genotype; 2 pink plants because there are two plants with Rr genotype; and finally one white plant because the last plant has an rr genotype.
