There are two types of alveolar cells. The type I alveolar cells which lines the alveoli and much more abundant than type II alveolar cells. Then the type II alveolar cells lesser in number but functions differently than type I alveolar cells. Type II alveolar cells secrete surfactant (composed of lecitin and sphingomyelin) for the lungs. Surfactant reduces the surface tension inside the alveoli, preventing alveolar consolidation. This is important as babies with dysfunctional type II alveolar cells (usually preterm babies less than 32 weeks age of gestation) will have respiratory distress syndrome in the absence of surfactant.
Answer:
Cohesion, adhesion, high heat capacity, high heat of vaporization, a great solvent, surface tension, and water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid.
Explanation:
These properties are all because of hydrogen bonding, which occurs due to the polarity of water.
The vacuole i believe is the answer
Cultivated crops usually have fewer roots such as corn in a moist or wet soil. <span>To have more hair roots needs more air and oxygen helps to make it happen. </span><span>But a wet soil doesn't help add more roots. </span>
The answer is; glycolysis
This process converts glucose molecule to pyruvate. It is an oxygen-independent pathway, unlike the Krebs cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle (aerobic pathway) occurs in the mitochondria. In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, i.e pyruvate, is fed to the Krebs cycle. If oxygen is unavailable the pyruvate is converted to lactate.
