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.

Basic concepts of carbohydrates and it's importance?​
natulia [17]
-carbohydrates contain carbon , hydrogen and oxygen
-also known as saccharides
-glucose is a hexose monosaccharide (composed of 6 carbons )
-two structural variations: alpha α and beta β glucose ,in which the OH group on carbon 1 is in opposite positions
- glucose : polar and soluble in water due to the bonds that form between the hydroxyl groups and water molecules
-glycosidic bond : bond formed between two glucose molecules by a condensation reaction forming a disaccharide
-fructose +galactose =sucrose
-galactose +glucose = lactose
- starch :many alpha glucose molecules can be joined by glycosidic bonds to form two slightly different polysaccharides
- one of the polysaccharides of starch is called amylose
- amylose : formed by alpha glucose molecules joined together only by 1-4 glycosidic bonds
-amylopectin: both 1-4 and 1-6 (every 25 glucose subunits )glycosidic bonds between alpha glucose molecules. 1-6 glycosidic bonds cause branching
-glycogen : more branches than amylopectin . Compact so ideal for storage . Speeds up the process of storing and releasing glucose molecules required in the cell.Insoluble
-hydrolysis reactions opposite of condensation reaction
-cellulose:beta glucose molecules. Join together by alternate beta glucose molecules turn upside down
- straight chain molecule: cellulose
-cellulose molecules make H bonds with each-other forming microfibrils. Microfibrils join together to form macrofibrils which combine to produce fibres

WHO and WHEN proposed the Model of the Atom we believe in today?
pychu [463]

Answer:

Atoms are so small that it is difficult to believe that all matter is made from atoms—but it is. The concept that atoms play a fundamental role in chemistry is formalized by the modern atomic theory, first stated by John Dalton, an English scientist, in 1808.
