<span>Based on the mentioned symptoms, the disorder that best describes his condition is Spontaneous pneumothorax and surgery is needed in order to overcome it. The presence of air in the form of small packs between the lungs and chest is a formal way of describing this condition and this may lead to damage in the lungs.</span>

7. Compare and contrast the way carbon is used in respiration and photosynthesis.
Ghella [55]

Answer: 7. Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. ... While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. 8. Carbon gets incorporated into marine organisms as organic matter or structural calcium carbonate. When organisms die, their dead cells, shells and other parts sink into deep water. Decay releases carbon dioxide into this deep water.  brainliest?

Compare and contrast light microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and transmission electron microscopes. Sort each statemen
podryga [215]

Answer:

<u>Light microscope</u>:

  • use a beam of light to produce magnified images
  • can be used to examine living cells and tissues

<u>Scanning electron microscope</u>:

  • use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
  • can be used to examine DNA
  • can be used to examine cells

<u>Transmission electron microscope</u>:

  • use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
  • can be used to examine DNA
  • can be used to examine cells

Explanation:

Light microscope: is a commonly used microscope also known as compound microscope. Magnifies images from 40X upto 1000X. It uses ray of visible light to produce a magnified image. The light microscope can be used to view specimen of both living and dead cells or tissues. However, it doesn't give a detailed view of a specimen like electron microscope.

Scanning electron microscope: It uses electron beam as an illuminating source. It has a much higher resolving power than light microscope because it uses electrons instead of light. It magnifies object upto 500000 times the actual size. Internal structures can also be viewed. However, only dead specimen can be used because the beam of electrons can kill the cells. They are of two types:

  1. <u>Scanning electron microscope(SEM): </u>an electron beam passes over the specimen's surface and displaces electrons which are then focused on  a screen to form an image. Images appear in 3-D
  2. <u>Transmission electron microscope: </u>electromagnets magnify the image by passing beam of electrons through a thin specimen. Images appear in 2-D

What problem is faced by organisms that live in fresh water?
muminat

Answer:

A. Their bodies tend to take in too much water.

Explanation:

Osmoregulation is the maintenance of osmotic concentration inside the body cells and in the extracellular fluid by controlling the amount of water and salts.  Organisms living in water can be divided into two groups: Some are osmoconformers which change the osmolarity of body fluids with respect to the surrounding medium. Some are osmoregulators which do not allow change in internal osmolarity and try to maintain it by various means.

If as osmoregulator is placed in fresh water environment then their body is hypertonic to their environment. Osmosis will occur which is the movement of water from low solute to high solute concentration. Thus the problems faced by such organisms would be:

- Entry of excess water

- Loss of body salts to outside.

Adaptations in such organisms would be:

- Body cover such as scales or adipose covers

- They do not drink more water

- Excess water is eliminated as dilute urine

- Special cells called ionocytes or chloride cells help in active uptake of sodium ions and chloride ions.
