Answer:

Keeping the alveoli open and for constant gas exchange.

Explanation:

After maximum expiration of the air in the lungs, there remains still some air called the residual volume. This is because the alveoli, the smallest sacs in the lungs which take part in the exchange of gases between the lungs and the bloodstream, need to stay inflated and open. This also ensures that the gas exchange is continuous between breaths which is really important. I hope this answer helps.

How does the escape velocity of venus compare to that of mars?
Olenka [21]
In physics, escape velocity is the speed where the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the magnitude of its gravitational potential energy. 
This relates to the speed at which an object should travel to "break" free of any gravitational pull.
Venus: 10.46 km/s
Mars: 5.027 km/s

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Both types of fingerprints can often be easy to obtain from the crime scene.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique used for a paternity test and in establishing a link between the biological evidence and suspect in the crime, identification of dead bodies et cetera.

It is based on the similarities and differences associated with the DNA sequence of organisms especially the non-coding or junk DNA.

The DNA fingerprints are developed in labs, they are not found at crime scenes.

At the crime scene, pieces of biological evidence such as blood, skin, hair et cetera are taken from which DNA could be extracted.
