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)

The evolutionary theory that suggests that a species can suddenly and rapidly evolve into a new species is ?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<span>Punctuated Equilibrium/ Equilibria proposes that once species appear in the fossil record, the population  will be in the state of little or absent morphologic change. This is called a state of stasis. The theory further proposes that the population is confined to infrequent and geographical rapid events when significant evolutionary change happens.  The parent species will the split into two distinct species. This process if called cladogenesis.</span>

Should we add soil to our food web?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: Decomposers

Because, when organisms are broken down and decomposed, they are mixed in with the soil. Yes, you should add soil to a food web that depicts the food relationship in an ecosystem because not only is it a result of decomposition, it helps the producers grow, starting the food chain again.
