Why does the transfer of carbon and oxygen take place

2 answers:

5 0

The transfer of the carbon-dioxide and oxygen occurs during the process of the respiration. The oxygen from the air we breathe in our lungs is diffused into the blood present in the capillaries surrounding the alveloi of the lungs. The carbon-dioxide is diffused into the lungs, which is then breathed out. This transfer of the gases is necessary as the oxygen is required by the body to break down the fatty acids and other components in order to release energy for different processes of the body. The carbon-dioxide released after the generation of the energy is eliminated from the body by this exchange.

The exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelope them.

"Which term correctly identifies the process by which molecules move through the dialysis tube membrane?

SSSSS [86.1K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. The term that correctly identifies the process by which molecules move through the dialysis tube membrane would be diffusion. The molecules move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration.

Make a list of the potential benefits and harms that might arise from knowing your complete genome sequence.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance, even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
