Having traveled through the arteries and capillaries, the blood have already lost considerable amount of pressure when it is to travel through the veins. The veins are composed of one-way valves as when the veins are squeezed, it pushes the blood to the valves.

Use the principles of diffusion to explain why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung diffuse into the blood because the concentration of oxygen in the lung's tissues is more than the concentration of oxygen in the blood.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the molecule to the region of lower concentration of the same molecule. Molecules in diffusion move <em>downward the concentration</em> <em>gradient</em> created by difference in concentration between two regions until an <em>equilibrium (equal concentration in the two regions)</em> is established.

Oxygen molecules diffuse into the tissues of the lung when an organism breathes-in during the process of breathing. The molecules in the now oxygen-rich tissues eventually start diffusing into the blood in the lung because the blood passing through the lung is always de-oxygenated or has lower oxygen concentration compared to the tissues of the lung.

Oxygenated blood moves into the heart, pumps round the body by the heart, gets depleted of oxygen and eventually find its way back to the lung where the process is repeated.

Diffusion of oxygen from the tissues of the lung into the blood will keep happening as long as oxygen keeps getting dissolved into the lung's tissues and an equilibrium is yet to be established between the tissues and the blood.

Organic matter in soil is also called _____.
9966 [12]

Answer:

The correct answer would be humus.

Humus is the organic material of the soil formed by the decomposition of the dead plants and animals. It is thick and dark in color (brown or black) and can also be produced by the process of composting.

It is very for the soil as it adds moisture to the soil, enhances the structure of the soil which increases the aeration and drainage.

It favors the growth of organisms (such as earthworm) helpful for the growth of plants and adds lots of nutrients to the soil, specially nitrogen.

In contrast, loam is a type of soil which is composed of silt, sand, and clay in 40-40-20 ratio. Regolith referred to the superficial layer covering the solid rocks or bedrock. It is formed by the accumulation of soil, dust, broken rocks etc on the bedrock.

Lastly, talus referred to the slope which is formed by deposition of shattered rock debris at the base of a cliff.
