Which of the following is not a way carbon dioxide travels in the blood?

Biology
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways:1 (i) dissolved in solution; (ii) buffered with water as carbonic acid; (iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin.

Approximately 75% of carbon dioxide is transport in the red blood cell and 25% in the plasma. The relatively small amount in plasma is attributable to a lack of carbonic anhydrase in plasma so association with water is slow; plasma plays little role in buffering and combination with plasma proteins is poor.

There is a difference between the percentage of the total carbon dioxide carried in each form and the percentage exhaled from them. For example, 5% of the total is in solution but 10% of exhaled carbon dioxide comes from this source; 10% is protein bound, particularly with haemoglobin, but this supplies 30% of the exhaled amount.

Practicing three-point shots to improve free-throw accuracy contradicts the _________ principle of exercise.
vodomira [7]
Practicing three point shots to improve free throw accuracy contradicts the SPECIFICITY principle of exercise.
The specificity principle of exercise states that, to become an expert in a particular exercise or skill one should perform that exercise or skill. That is, the things that one do during physical activity should be relevant to one desired outcomes, thus, the training regimen must go from general to specific during training.

A newly developed pesticide has been observed to bind to an intracellular hormone receptor. If ingested, residue from this pesti
Degger [83]

Answer:

Thyroid hormones      

Explanation:

Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, <u><em>interference with the thyroid hormone receptor</em></u>, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.
