Pulmonary  surfactant is a mixture of lipids and proteins which is secreted into the alveolar space by epithelial type II cells. The main function of the surfactant is to lower the surface tension at the ir/liquid interface within the alveoli of the lung. In babies born prematurely, pulmonary surfactant may not be present in adequate amounts due to insufficient exocytosis in type II alveolar cells.

List three changes of state during which energy is absorbed.
mote1985 [20]

The three changes of state during which energy is absorbed are:

1. Change from solid to liquid - Melting.

2. Change from liquid to gas - Vaporization

3. Change from solid to gas - Sublimation

All these changes of state require heat energy to break the attractive forces that hold the particles of the molecules together, so that they can move into more disorderly states. For instance, when heat is applied to a solid, the solid absorbs the heat and use it to break the attractive forces that are holding the molecules of the solid together. At a particular temperature, the attractive forces will be completely overcome and the solid framework will collapse, thus leading to the melting of the solid.

The nitrogen base pairs in the DNA molecule are adenine and or cytosine and .
Dominik [7]

The nitrogenous bases Adenine form two hydrogen bonds with thymine and the cytosine form three hydrogen bonds with the guanine. Simply, A combines with T and G combines with the C. It is often called as a complementary base pairing because of each base pair bonds only with its specific complementary base partner in a DNA molecule.
