Answer:

water, carbon monoxide gas, Small lipid soluble substances

Explanation:

The BBB is a highly selective semi permeable membrane which prevents the solute in the blood from crossing or passing through the central nervous system of human brain.

It separates the blood from the brain.

In the context,

-- Water successfully crosses the BBB without any help. It can cross through diffusion.

-- carbon monoxide gas can cross BBB. Haemoglobin in blood has 200 times more affinity towards the carbon monoxide when it is compared with oxygen. This is why carbon monoxide poisoning affects the brain.

--- Small lipid soluble substances can also cross BBB without any help.

Which of the following factors decreases the rate of solubility?
belka [17]

Answer:- C. decrease in temperature.

Explanations:- Solubility of a solid increases if the pressure is increased as the high pressure helps the solid to get dissolved in the solvent.

If the surface area of the solute is increased then more and more solute comes into the contact of the solvent and the solubility increases.

If the stirring is increased then it also helps the solute to get dissolved into the solvent.

Solubility of solids is directly proportional to the temperature.

So, if the temperature is decreased then solubility of the solute is also decreased.
