Robert decides to go for a run when he gets home from school. As he begins running, his breathing rate starts to increase. What

are the mechanisms that cause his breathing rate to increase?
A. When carbon dioxide levels in the blood decrease, the respiratory center sends signals to the alveoli to increase the volume that they expand.

B. When oxygen levels in the blood decrease, the respiratory center sends signals to the diaphragm to increase the rate at which it contracts and relaxes.

C. The respiratory control center senses the need for more oxygen, which causes the trachea to push and pull air more forcefully.

D. The diaphragm senses the need for more oxygen, which causes it to expand and contract more quickly in order to inflate and deflate the lungs.

Answer: B. When oxygen levels in the blood decrease, the respiratory center sends signals to the diaphragm to increase the rate at which it contracts and relaxes.

Explanation:

According to the given situation, as it is already mentioned that Robert runs before going home from school. This physical activity is likely to increase the breathing rate. The increase in breathing rate is likely to increase the demand of oxygen in the body. With the decrease in concentration of the oxygen in the blood the respiratory system in the body will get activated. The respiratory system will send signals to the diaphragm below the lungs to expand and contract at a faster rate so as to admit more amount of oxygenated air and distribute it at a faster rate.

Answer:  The atmosphere prevents the sudden increase in temperature during the daylight hours. And during the night, it slows down the escape of heat into outer space The atmosphere keeps the average temperature of the Earth fairly steady during the day and even during the course of the whole year.

What is the effect of increasing the rate of photosynthesis on biospheric carbon
natulia [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide at normal atmospheric concentrations is limiting for the metabo- lism and growth of most land plants of the world. These plants share a comparable photosynthetic metabolic pathway, termed C3 photosynthesis. With an increase in CO2 there is an increase in photosynthesis and growth.

Researchers can manipulate the genes of a mouse so that a single gene in a single tissue either produces an inactive protein (a
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.

2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.

(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in

liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-

bisphosphatase-1 activity

(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
