Answer:
Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.
The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.
Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Water and air circulate around the world in water currents and wind systems (like prevailing winds) respectively, hence distribute energy and whatever else they are carrying across the globe. This is why polluting the oceans in the equatorial region will have indirect consequences for marine life in the poles.
Pollution of air through emission of greenhouse gases in one part of the globe will contribute to global warming across the world because these emissions will be carried around by prevailing winds and diffuse across the atmosphere.
Global warming also causes climate change that subsequently causes the displacement or migration of organisms when this change in climate is unfavorable
Answer:
The correct answer is 3. sugars
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, the light energy is captured by the chlorophyll and this energy is used in the formation of sugar molecules with the help of water. Oxygen is released as the byproduct of this process.
So the light energy which is captured is stored in the bonds of sugar and when this bond is broken down during oxidation the energy is released and converted into another form which is ATP and this ATP is called the energy currency of the cell. This ATP is used in many metabolic processes. Therefore the correct answer is sugar.
Stromatolite fossils are the oldest known fossils<span>, that formed 3.5 billion years ago when the environments of Earth were too hostile to support life as we know it today. They </span><span>are layered mounds, columns, and sheet-like sedimentary rocks</span><span>
Stromatolite fossils indicate that </span>life must have arisen quite a bit earlier, perhaps 3.9 billion years ago.
Evaporation of water from the oceans.
