  • decreases as altitude increases
  • results from a column of air pushing on an area
  • decreases due to fewer air particles pushing down

Pressure is the force exerted, by a substance, per unit area.

Explanation:

Pressure is given by the formulae;

P = F/ A

Whereby;

P = pressure

F = Force

A = area

Remember that ..

F = Ma

Whereby;

F = Force

M = mass

a = acceleration

Therefore pressure can be given as;

P = Ma / A

The mass of the above column of a substance multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity = pressure exerted by the substance.

Describe what happens to the air in the lungs when we breathe. What happens to the concentration of
Otrada [13]

When we breathe in, oxygen enters our lungs and enters small sacs in our lungs called the alveoli. In the alveoli, the oxygen diffuses INTO the bloodstream through small blood vessels, called capillaries, that surround these alveoli. The oxygen is now in our bloodstream instead of our lungs and is used in cell respiration etc.

Oppositely, carbon dioxide is diffused FROM the bloodstream TO the alveoli, also through these capillaries. The carbon dioxide is now in the lungs instead of the bloodstream and when you breathe out, the carbon dioxide is breathed out out of your lungs.

Hope this helped, even if it helped a tiny bit. :)

Which of these events is caused by the stapes pushing against membrane covering the oval window?A The pressure change causes the
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C "The pressure change causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically".

Explanation:

The organ of Corti is an important structure for auditory perception that acts as a receptor organ for hearing.  The organ of Corti is located in the mammalian cochlea and it allows for the transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses according to the vibrations that are received from external sources. If the receiving sounds comes from the stapes pushing against membrane covering the oval window, the pressure change will causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically. Stimulus from membrane covering the oval window are sent to the organ of Corti, which responds by vibrating vertically.

Mitosis is important because it is responsible for the growth of is responsible for human development.

Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.
