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.

Which statement best explains why less energy is available to organisms as a food chain gets longer?
Aleks [24]
<span>This is due to much of the energy that is consumed by lower trophic levels of the food chain/food web being used at that lower level. This energy is stored or used and, therefore, unavailable to the organisms higher up in the chain. As the chain lengthens, less energy is available, usually as a factor of 10 (1/10 of the energy taken in by the level below the consumer is available to the consumer's level, for example).</span>

Identify the effect of environmental factors on enzyme activity
laiz [17]

Answer:

Changes in temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators can affect enzyme activity.

For example increasing substrate concentration increases the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

This is because more substrate molecules will be colliding with enzyme molecules, so more product will be formed.
