Answer:

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes it hard to breathe due to obstructed airflow from the lungs. This OBSTRUCTION in turn causes respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS develops when air inhaled into and exhaled from the lungs does not get adequately exchanged between the carbon dioxide from the body for oxygen from the air.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when breathing out does not get rid of enough CO2. The increased CO2 that remains results in an acidic state. This can occur as a result of respiratory problems, such as COPD.

The increased CO2 level in the bloodstream occurring as a result of respiratory acidosis is known as hypercapnia.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail to answer the question, “Are there benefits to reproducing sexually
vlabodo [156]

Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.

New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings.  In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.

The epithelium of the esophagus is composed of which type of epithelial tissue?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Stratified squamous epithelium

Explanation:

Most animals, including humans, have stratified squamous epithelium in their esophagus. It may include keratin, which gives an extra layer of protection, allowing them to eat bigger and less chewed food. It should be noted that the esophagus has a mucous membrane and because of the muscular layers, called muscularis mucosae, the food can pass rapidly through it preventing damages in its layers due to coarser or abrasive food.

Which materials undergo radioactive decay? Check all that apply.
ZanzabumX [31]
Atoms that are unstable undergo radioactive decay,

Elements with half life(that's how we know that it decayed),

Atoms that release energy and particles(like alpha beta and gamma particles) and,

Elements that have turned into a new element (as in radioactive decay no. of protons can decrease)

And to be precise the elements that have neutron to proton ratio of more than 1 undergo radioactive decay, since the nuclear attraction gets all weird after that.
