Reil [10]4 years ago

Answer:

E.

Explanation:

A fetus is able to extract O2 from its mother's blood because fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2 than maternal hemoglobin. Thus making it alot easier for the hemoglobin to bind to oxygen. This causes the oxygen-dissociation curve to move towards the left of the maternal oxygen-dissociation curve.

Answer:

E. Fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2 than maternal hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a protein found in the blood which is responsible for binding to oxygen for efficient circulation to other parts of the body.

Fetal hemoglobin is usually at a high level and it’s produced around 6 weeks of conception. The fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for Oxygen than that of the maternal hemoglobin and it helps in carrying oxygen from the bloodstream of the mother to cells and tissues of the fetus.

Based on your knowledge of how the greenhouse effect works, why does the level carbon dioxide affect the global temperature?
miv72 [106K]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere prevents long wave radiation from leaving the earth and in the process, it raises global temperatures.

  • Greenhouse gases helps to maintain the fair balance in temperature on the earth surface.
  • They keep the temperature of the earth in balance by preventing it from losing all of the heat it gains.
  • Radiation from the sun reaches the surface as short wave radiations.
  • When they get absorbed and re-emitted, they produce long wave thermal radiations.
  • In the atmosphere, the radiations are cut off and causes warming due to their interaction with greenhouse gasses there
  • When the amount of these gases in the atmosphere become more than normal, more heat becomes trapped.
  • This leads to an anomalously high surface temperature on earth.
