Answer:
muscles
ribs
lungs
bronchioles
alveoli
diffuses
leaves
exchange
Explanation:
Your diaphragm, and <u>muscles</u> between your <u>ribs</u>, make air move in and out of your <u>lungs</u>. It travels through the trachea, bronchi, and <u>bronchioles </u>to <u>alveoli</u>. In the alveoli, oxygen <u>diffuses</u> into the blood and carbon dioxide<u> leaves</u>. This is gas <u>exchange</u>.
<em>Air enters the lungs and leaves it as a result of the relaxation and contraction of the diaphragm and the muscles between the ribs. When both the muscles and the diaphragm relax, air enters from the trachea and travels through the bronchi and the bronchioles to the alveoli, where the oxygen in the air diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuse in the opposite direction. The entire process is known as gas exchange.</em>
Answer:
A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.
B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.
C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.

Answer:
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that participates in protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has two important areas: a trinucleotide region called the anticodon and a region for attaching a specific amino acid. During translation, each time an amino acid is added to the growing chain, a tRNA molecule forms base pairs with its complementary sequence on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, ensuring that the appropriate amino acid is inserted into the protein.
