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.

sdas [7]

Answer:

In speciation, organisms evolved with the passage of time.

Explanation:

Speciation is the evolutionary process in which populations of species evolve with the passage of time to become different species from the original one.  Temporal isolation and gametic isolation are two possible prezygotic barriers of the Hawaiian honeycreepers that contribute to occur speciation. The newly available niches could lead to speciation of that organisms that tolerate the Hawaiian climatic conditions when the extinction of Hawaiian honeycreepers occurs. The new organisms used the available resources such as food and space etc and increase its population.

What feature of alcohol fermentation makes it more suitable for the baking process than lactic acid fermentation?
telo118 [61]
Alcohol fermentation produces carbon dioxide gas as a by-product, and this is why alcohol fermentation is more suitable for baking. Alcohol fermentation occurs when breads are made. The carbon dioxide gas is what creates tiny air bubbles within the dough and makes bread be the light consistency we are used to. In contrast, bread made without yeast (alcohol fermentation) is very flat.
