Answer:

8.467 grams of oxygen

Explanation:

The law governing this problem is "The Law of Constant Composition "

As per this law, all compounds irrespective of their origin and source have the same composition and properties  in their purest form

It is a simple proportion and ratio related problem.

1.50 grams of carbon require 2.0 grams of oxygen

1.0 grams of carbon will require oxygen

= \frac{2}{1.5}

6.35 grams of carbon will require oxygen

\frac{2}{1.5}*6.35\\= 8.4666\\= 8.467

When Barney was giving his speech and discussing each slide he was only giving definitions, symptoms, risks associated with the animal-borne diseases and treatment. This was not an effective strategy for Barney or for his class/listeners. Barney should have given pictures along with the slides so that everyone could see what the diseases looked like. Pictures also help people to have a better understanding of what they are learning/hearing.

The human body has 78 organs and these organs can be grouped into systems (there are 11 of them) to perform more complex functions. For example, the bronchi and lungs are organs that belong to the respiratory system. Organs are necessary to live in good health and some organs are essential.
