Air enters your body through your nose, then enters the pharynx through the two nasal passages. Then it passes into the larynx and then into the trachea though an opening called glottis. The trachea divides into two bronchi (one for each lung), and further branches into numerous bronchioles. At the end of each bronchiole, there is a cluster of air sacs called alveoli. It is inside the alveoli that gas exchange actually takes place. 
All of the above mentioned organs aid respiration as it is through them that oxygen-rich air enters the body, and then the oxygen enters our bloodstream in the lungs. Oxygen is used in aerobic respiration, a process in which energy is released from the food that we have eaten.

What happens to the temperature when the atmospheric co2 level increases in this model?
Arada [10]

Answer:

The temperature of the surrounding air increases when the atmospheric CO2 level increases.

Explanation: Carbondioxide gas is a very important gas in the environment but high amount of it cause damage to the organisms.

Carbondioxide gas is also called greenhouse gas because it has the ability to absorb or trap heat energy when the solar radiation goes into the space after hitting the earth surface. If the concentration of carbondioxide gas is increased, more heat energy will be trapped and thus increase occurs in the temperature of the atmosphere which results in global warming.

Consider a population of snowshoe hares in Montana. Their fur color changes in response to changes in day length. During the lon
Advocard [28]

The correct answer is: Hares with a mutation that causes them to change color in response to temperature rather than day length  

Since the climate is changing (as a consequence of global warming) temperatures are increasing more and more through the years. These changes affect populations, so they need to adapt to new environment conditions in order to survive. In this example above, mutations within snowshoe hares that will help them to change color in response to temperature rather than day length is very advantageous. Hares will be brown more often, because there are less and less colder temperatures and snow.
