The partial pressure of oxygen at a particular point in the bloodstream is 100 mm Hg. Under what circumstance will there be a ne

t diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream at this location?a. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream regardless of the partial pressure of oxygen in the wate b. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is equal to 100 mm Hg. c. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is greater than 100 mm Hg d. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is less than 100 mm Hg.

Answer:

c. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is greater than 100 mm Hg

Explanation:

Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. If the molecules are gas molecules, they will diffuse from the region of higher pressure to the region of lower pressure.

Hence, for net diffusion to occur from the water to the bloodstream, the partial pressure of oxygen in water must be higher than the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream.

<em>Since the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream is 100 mm Hg, then the partial pressure of the gas in water must be more than 100 mm Hg in order for net diffusion to occur from water to the bloodstream.</em>

During a windstorm, a large old tree fell in the forest. As it came down, it trapped a young sapling about 5 meters tall underneath it. The top of the 

Auxin and gibberellin in the sapling's stem will cause a gravitropic response in the sapling, and its stop will grow upward even though it is held down.

Which enzymes are secreted only by the pancreas?
a_sh-v [17]

Nucleases are the enzymes that are unique to the pancreas. These are enzymes which break down nucleic acids DNA and RNA into nucleotides. When these nucleotides reach the ileum, they are further degraded or digested into sugars, bases and phosphates. These nucleases are known as DNAase and RNAase

Other pancreatic enzymes such as amylase and protease are also produced by other digestive organs such as the salivary glands and the small intestine respectively. However no other digestive organ has been known to produce nucleases apart from the pancreas.

Nucleases are of two  main types, namely exonucleases which cut off the end of a nucleotide and endonucleases which will cut out certain nucleotide sequences right in the middle of a nucleic acid.
