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

1 answer:

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.

Which of the following best describes the information presented in this Punnett square?

Rasek [7]

The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. The Punnett square is a tabular summary of possible combinations of maternal alleles with paternal alleles. These tables can be used to examine the genotypic outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing multiple traits from the parents. The Punnett Square is a visual

An object moving with a speed of 5 m/s has a kinetic energy of 100 J. What is the mass of the object?

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

KE = 1/2mv squared (im not sure how to write the squared on top of the V but just add it there)

m=8 kg

Explanation:

Solve for m, plug in v = m/s and KE = 100J. The answer is m=8kg

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is a. they are much like empty rooms.

Explanation:

Cells are pretty much the opposite of empty rooms. There are many organelles and processes happening in them, so there's no space for empty rooms. Even when there are spaces, which anyway would be full of liquid, these spaces have a purpose.
