Plants and animals die without air. Why? Which gases do plants and animals inhale and exhale? What are the role of these gases i

n plants and animals? (Note: Air is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, and other minor gases).

Answer:

Plants and animals both are living organisms that are directly dependent on the air. The air is comprised of various gases with definite proportions such as  78% of nitrogen, 21% of O₂, 0.9% of argon, 0.03% of CO₂, and other minor gases.

Oxygen (O₂) is the main gas that is essential for life to exist. Without this gas, no organisms can survive.

The organisms inhale oxygen (O₂) gas and exhale carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas.

These gases play an important role in the lives of plants and animals as it helps in carrying out the process of respiration. This process is essential in order to generate energy in the body of the organisms where the food particles (commonly known as sugar) are disintegrated by the cells. This is how an organism respire by inhaling O₂ gas and exhaling CO₂ gas.

A Tomato Has A Proton Concentration Of 0.00006 M. How Would You Calculate The PH?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Option b. is correct

Explanation:

If hydronium ion concentration H_3O^+ is given then pH is given by -log[H_3O^+]

The hydronium ion refers to the hydrogen ion in aqueous solution.

A Tomato has A Proton Concentration Of 0.00006 M

Here, 0.00006 is equal to 6 × 10^{-5}

So,

pH is given by - log [6 × 10^{-5}]

Option b. is correct

In salt water fish, chloride cells in the gills: a. actively transport Cl- from the plasma to the ECF. b. actively transport Cl-
lord [1]

Answer:

b. actively transport Cl- from the ECF to the external environment.

Explanation:

Chloride cells are cells that are found in the gills of teleost fishes which pump large amount of sodium and chloride ions out from the extracellular fluid (ECF) into the sea or environment against a concentration gradient in marine fish.

The opposite of this process occurs in freshwater fishes where the gills of freshwater teleost fish, cause an influx of sodium and chloride ions into the fish from the environment, also against a concentration gradient.

Mechanism of action

Salt water teleost fishes take in large amounts of seawater to decrease osmotic dehydration. The excess of ions derived from seawater is thrown out of the teleost fishes through the chloride cells. These cells employs active transport on the basolateral (internal) surface to diffuse in chloride, which then is pumped out of the apical (external) surface, straight into the surrounding environment. Such mitochondria-rich cells are located in the region of the gill lamellae and filaments of teleost fish.
