Typically, when a person coughs, he or she first inhales about 2.20 L of air at 1.00 atm and 25 ∘ C . The epiglottis and the voc

al cords then shut, trapping the air in the lungs, where it is warmed to 37 ∘ C and compressed to a volume of about 1.70 L by the action of the diaphragm and chest muscles. The sudden opening of the epiglottis and vocal cords releases this air explosively. Just prior to this release, what is the approximate pressure of the gas inside the lungs?

Answer:

pressure of the gas inside the lungs will be =1.35 atm

Explanation:

so for calculation of pressure of gas we will use the formula

(remember to convert *C to kelvin)

PV₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂           As we know that Temperature = 310.5 k =37 degree

so for pressure P₂

P₂=P₁V₁T₂/T₁V₂

= ((1.00atm)(2.20L)(310.15K))/ ((298.15K) (1.70L)

=1.35 atm

(remember to convert *C to kelvin)

What happens when organisms populate a new area and are isolated geographically from other populations of the same species?
zlopas [31]
The answer is C, speciation.

Let's say someone dropped 100 lions in the African savanna and 100 lions in the mountains. The mountain lions would evolve and adapt differently than the savanna lions.

The mountain lions might develop lighter fur for camouflage or larger lungs to get more oxygen from the thinner air, and the savanna lions might have to be a lot stealthier since there's no cover in the open plains.
