Use the principles of diffusion to explain why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood

Biology

Answer:

Oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung diffuse into the blood because the concentration of oxygen in the lung's tissues is more than the concentration of oxygen in the blood.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the molecule to the region of lower concentration of the same molecule. Molecules in diffusion move <em>downward the concentration</em> <em>gradient</em> created by difference in concentration between two regions until an <em>equilibrium (equal concentration in the two regions)</em> is established.

Oxygen molecules diffuse into the tissues of the lung when an organism breathes-in during the process of breathing. The molecules in the now oxygen-rich tissues eventually start diffusing into the blood in the lung because the blood passing through the lung is always de-oxygenated or has lower oxygen concentration compared to the tissues of the lung.

Oxygenated blood moves into the heart, pumps round the body by the heart, gets depleted of oxygen and eventually find its way back to the lung where the process is repeated.

Diffusion of oxygen from the tissues of the lung into the blood will keep happening as long as oxygen keeps getting dissolved into the lung's tissues and an equilibrium is yet to be established between the tissues and the blood.

alukav5142 [94]
Tretinoin is a naturally occurring metabolite of retinol in the retinoid class, including natural and synthetic analogues. It is the acid form of vitamin AIt acts on cell growth and differentiation. Its main use is the treatment against acne thanks to its keratolytic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tretinoin is also used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia type 3 (AML 3).

SIDE EFFECTS:
Among the expected effects, side effects may occur. Signs of an allergic reaction include: hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat;

It should be known that tretinoin can make you more sensitive to the sun, so use sunscreen every day, and wear protective clothing outdoors.
Cholesterol and triglycerides should be done before and during treatment because this drug could increase their values

Help me please please
natita [175]

Answer:

1) A

2) Could be A, B,  or D

Explanation:

1)   Prokaryote is a single celled organism that has no distinct nucleus, membrane  - bound organelles, and specialized organelles (such as the mitochondria).

This definition would only match A) a bacteria cell because all the other cells are called Eukaryotas (which are more complex and have membrane - bound organelles).

2) The answer could be A because Prokaryotic cells lack membrane bound organelles

The answer could be B because the diagram has labeled the cell membrane as "plasma membrane"

The answer could NOT be C because Prokaryotic cells do not have nucleus's, but have free floating DNA.

The answer could be D because it is the only image that has a flagellum (which helps the cell move)

I am sorry I couldn't answer this question completely, but I think that this question has flaws.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
