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.

Answer:

If an organism has a beneficial trait, they have a higher chance of survival, and if they can survive they can reproduce too.

Example: Speckled moths camouflage with the bark of trees and are not easily seen by predators. Black moths do not camouflage with the bark of trees and are easily seen by predators, therefore the black moths are eaten. Because the black moths have been eaten they cannot reproduce and pass on the trait for black wings to their offspring, but the speckled moths are able to reproduce because they survived and are able to pass on the speckled wing trait to their offspring.

What role did mycorrhizae play in the transition of plants to land?
Colt1911 [192]
Mycorrhizae are associations between fungi and the roots of plants, where the Fungi provides minerals to the plant. It enabled plants and fungi to be the first organisms to invade land successfully 430 million years ago. In most cases the relationship between host plants and the mycorrhizal fungus is mutualistic, or mutually beneficial. The Mycorrhizal fungi come into direct contact with plant roots and with the soil, adding to the plants ability to gather nutrients and water from the soil through the fungus.
