Answer:

The correct answer would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The main function of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body. In addition, it transports carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs from where it is exhaled out.

RBCs contain iron containing biomolecule termed as hemoglobin. It can bind to oxygen as well as carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gases in a cell.

For example, at the alveolar site, the partial pressure of oxygen is high which increases the efficiency of hemoglobin towards oxygen. Oxygen then binds with hemoglobin in a reversible manner to form oxyhemoglobin.

At the cellular site, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher as compared to that of oxygen. Consequently, oxygen is released and hemoglobin binds with carbon dioxide to form carbamino-hemoglobin.

Which organism gains energy directly from eating the krill?
Marianna [84]
The answer is whales. In the Antartic and Arctic regions, krills and whales are very abundant in numbers. Whales are number one consumer of krills in these regions. They can feed on a large swarm of krills when they feed.  They also have less competition on these icy waters. They gain energy every time from eating them.

Glucose: is a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

Fructose: or fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants.

Deoxyribose: sugar derived from ribose by replacing a hydroxyl group with hydrogen.

Ribose: is a kind of sugar that is produced by the body. It is used as a medicine. Ribose is used for heart disease, mental function, athletic performance, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Glyceraldehyde (glyceral) is a triose monosaccharide with chemical formula

1. Why does the moon appear to change throughout each month? *
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

As the Earth moves in relative to the moon the Earth blocks part of the sun from the moon causing only parts of the moon to light up. This BEST answers the question because B is not accurate because it doesn't describe why we actually SEE it. A might be true but it is not the BEST explained.

Hope this helps! (^-^)
