Dolphins are able to sleep without drowning because they have gills, like fish do. have a special opening that allows air in but

not water. sleep on just one side of their brain at a time. inflate their bodies before sleep, which maintains them floating upright so they can breathe without taking in any water.

Answer: sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation: While sleeping, the dolphin shuts down only half of its brain together with the opposite eye while the other half of the brain stays awake at a minimum level of alertness. It uses its attentive side to watch for predators or obstacles. The dolphin also reverses this process to rest the active side of the brain and awake the rested half.

Answer:

They sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation:

Dolphins are different from fishes that can breathe underwater.

It is necessary for them to get to the surface of the water at intervals to breathe air.

While sleeping, dolphins allows one hemisphere of their brains fall asleep while the other half is fully conscious. This means that If the left brain is sleeping, the right eye stays open and if the right brain is sleeping, the left eye stays open.

This happens so they always know when it's time to surface and breathe and when to escape when there is trouble.

Oxana [17]

Explanation:

All vital organs begin to lose some functionality as one ages during adulthood. Aging changes occur in all cells, tissues and organs of the body and affect the functioning of all body systems.

The living tissue is made up of cells. There are many different types of cells, but they all have the same basic structure. Tissues are layers of similar cells that fulfill a specific function. Different types of tissues group together to form organs.

There are four basic types of tissue:

The connective tissue supports the other tissues and joins them. This includes bone, blood and lymphatic tissue, in addition to the tissues that provide support and structure to the skin and internal organs.

The epithelial tissue provides coverage for the superficial and deeper layers of the body. The skin and lining of the ducts inside the body, such as the gastrointestinal system, are made of epithelial tissue.

Muscle tissue includes three types of tissue:

Striated muscles, such as those that move the skeleton (also called voluntary muscles)

Smooth muscles (also called involuntary muscles), such as the contents in the stomach and other internal organs

Myocardium, which makes up most of the wall of the heart (also an involuntary muscle)

Nervous tissue is composed of nerve cells (neurons) and is used to carry messages to and from different parts of the body. The brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves are composed of nerve tissue.

A normal breath takes in about 1.0 L of air. If air has an average molar mass of 28.8 g per 1 mol and has a density of 0.97 g/mL
Ann [662]

Taking into account the definition of density and Avogadro's Number, you take 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules of air.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

<h3>What is Avogadro's Number</h3>

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

<h3>Amount of molecules of air</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 0.97 \frac{g}{mL}
  • Volume= 1 L= 1000 mL

Replacing in the definition of density:

0.97 \frac{g}{mL}=\frac{mass}{1000 mL}

Solving:

mass= 0.97 \frac{g}{mL}  ×1000 mL

<u><em>mass= 970 g</em></u>

Air has an average molar mass of 28.8 g per 1 mol. Then 970 grams are contained in 33.68 moles.

Now, considering the definition of Avogadro's number you can apply the following rule of three: If 1 mole of air contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 33.68 moles contains how many molecules?

amount of molecules = (33.68 moles× 6.023×10²³ molecules)÷ 1 mole

<u><em>amount of molecules= 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules</em></u>

Finally, you take 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules of air.
