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.

No, it is nowhere near "homeostasis." Perhaps it is a homeostatic mechanism or a natural immunological response of the body.

Explain why inmates who have been in the dark cell for quite long usually have problems with their eyes and usually squint when
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

No one can see in total darkness. Fortunately, there’s almost always some light available. Even if it’s only dim starlight, that’s enough for your eyes to detect. What’s truly amazing is how little light is required for you to see.

Human eyes have two main features that help us see better in low light: the pupil’s ability to change size, and the eye’s two types of light-sensing cells.

Opening up to let in more light

Your pupils are the black areas at the front of your eyes that let light enter. They look black because the light that reaches them is absorbed inside the eyeball. It’s then converted by your brain into your perceptions of the world.

You’ve probably noticed that pupils can change size in response to light. Outside on a bright sunny day, your pupils become very small. This lets less light into the eye since there’s plenty available
