Biology

Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
6 0

The four important characteristics of respiratory surface are:

1. Thin walls

2. Moisture

3. Large surface area

4. Blood supply

Respiratory system or respiratory tract is divided into upper and lower tract. Upper respiratory tract includes nose and its cavities, sinuses, pharynx and the part of the larynx. Lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli.

Alveoli are the ends of the respiratory tract the smallest units in it. Alveoli are small folded air sacs that are branching off from alveolar ducts and providing an extremely large surface area for the gas exchange. Gas exchange occurs thanks to small blood vessels – capillaries that surround alveoli and it occurs via the process of diffusion.

So, respiratory surface is thin membrane also known as the blood–air barrier that consists of the alveolar epithelial cells, their basement membranes and the endothelial cells of the alveolar capillaries.

Mice21 [21]
Glucose levels are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day, and rise after meals for an hour or two by a few millimoles. Blood sugar levels outside the normal range may be an indicator of a medical condition. A persistently high level is referred to as hyperglycemia; low levels are referred to as hypoglycemia. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia from any of several causes, and is the most prominent disease related to failure of blood sugar regulation. There are different methods of testing and measuring blood sugar levels.

1. Which of the following events is not a source of genetic variation in eukaryotic organisms?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is not a source of genetic mutation because it take place mostly in the somatic cells. This is because it does not lead to the production of gametes . In mitosis, the parent cells divide into two daughter cells and each daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they carry the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. There is no genetic variation in this.

A graded hyperpolarization of a membrane can be induced by _____.
Doss [256]

Explanation:

In biology, hyperpolarization is any change in the cell's membrane potential, which makes it more polarized. That is, hyperpolarization is an increase in the absolute value of the cell's membrane potential. Thus, changes in the membrane voltage in which the membrane potential is more clearly positive or negative, are hyperpolarizations.
