Answer:

The correct answer is - reduced thoracic (lung) compliance.

Explanation:

Reduced lung compliance is characterized by the stiffness in the lung and required extra work to internalize normal volume of the air in the thoracic cavity.

It is caused as the lungs, in this case, are become fibrotic, become stiffer and distensibility. Due to the enzyme activity elastic tissue becomes damaged in case of emphysema in highly compliant lungs.

Thus, the correct answer is - reduced thoracic compliance.

Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
hoa [83]

The right answer is C

This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).

Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.

Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).

NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
