Answer :

Surfactant deficiency due to undeveloped lungs (in premature infants)  suggest respiratory distress in an​ infant, but would be less likely to be observed in an​ adult beacuse in adults , lungs are fully developed and lack of surfactant is less.

Explanation:

Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration ,caused by deficiency of the surfactant produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs most commonly in premature infants.

Normally , the lungs of the fetus start the formation of the surfactant during the third trimester (26 weeks through labor and delivery ) but in the premature infants , the lungs are not totally developed , hence lack of surfactant production results in the respiratory distress syndrome charactarized by inflammation of the airways due to the lack of the surface tension lowring effect of the surfactant.

How was the lunar regolith formed?
Sav [38]

Answer:

On the Moon, regolith occurs as a mixture of powdery dust and broken rock. Lunar regolith is formed by the impact of meteorites on the body's surface. The force of the collision melts some of the impacted regolith to form objects known as agglutinates and heaves debris (ejecta) outward from the point of impact. need brainliest pls

(This is about DNA)
n200080 [17]

Answer:

B. 20%

Explanation:

The complementary base-pairing rule states that Adenine always pairs with Thymine (A with T), and Cytosine with Guanine (C with G).

Because of this, the amount of Adenine present must be the same as the amount of Thymine present, and the same for Cytosine and Guanine.

This means that if there is 30% Adenine, there is also 30% Thymine as each A base is paired to a T base. This adds to 60%, so Cytosine amounts and Guanine amounts must add to 40% to make 100%.

Since they are equal in amount, there must be 20% of each.

Therefore the answer is B. 20%

There is 30% Adenine, 30% Thymine, 20% Guanine and 20% Cytosine.

Hope this helped!

The difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another is called a
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

The larger the difference in concentration of the molecules between the two locations, the higher the concentration gradient. The system is therefore referred to as having a high Free Gibbs Energy (and  low entropy), which is the potential energy intrinsic of the system to do work.  Therefore, it will be spontaneous that the molecules will want to move from the location of higher concentration to the location of lower concentration until equilibrium is achieved (process called difussion).
