The respiratory system, functionally, can be separated in two zones namely the conducting zone (nose to bronchioles) form a path for conduction of the inhaled gases and respiratory zone (alveolar duct to alveoli) where the gas exchange takes place. Anatomically, respiratory tract is divided into upper (organ outside thorax-nose,pharynx and larynx) and lower respiratory tract (organ within thorax-trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar duct and alveoli). Airway closure is a normal phenomenon in the body, with reopening of airways during the succeeding inspiration.

The appropriate choice would be the supraglottic portion of the laryngeal vestibule. It is the portion of the cavity of the larynx above the vocal cords. It is wide and triangular in shape, it is inlet to another cavity in the lateral wall of larynx, the laryngeal ventricle.

Clouds, atmospheric aerosols, snow, ice, sand, ocean surface and even rooftops play a role in deflecting the incoming rays. The remaining 70 percent of solar energy is absorbed by land, ocean, and atmosphere. "Greenhouse gases block about 40 percent of outgoing thermal radiation that emanates from Earth," Woods said.

AUGGCGUUU which of the following DNA strands could have been the template for this RNA?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

3' TACCGCAAA 5'

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which a particular DNA sequence (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence that grows in a 5′ → 3′ direction. This RNA molecule is usually a messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then used to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) by a process called translation. The complementary RNA molecule produced during transcription is synthesized according to the base pair rules, i.e., Adenine (A) bases always pair with Thymine (T) bases, while Guanine (G) bases always pairs with Cytosine (C) bases. In RNA, Uracil (U) bases pair with adenine, thereby replacing thymines during transcription.
