Answer:

Air pressure is the weight of air molecules.

Explanation:

Air pressure can be described as the force generated by the weight of air on the surface of the Earth. The size and number of the air molecules determine the air pressure.

When the number of molecules in the air increases, it generates more force on the Earth's surface and we say that it is regarded as a rise in the atmospheric pressure. A mercury barometer is a device which is used to measure the air pressure.

1. Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multicellular organisms like humans?
astraxan [27]

1.   The oxygen requirements of an animal cannot be met by the process of     diffusion as diffusion is a very slow process. To overcome this, multicellular organisms have specialized cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of oxygen and food.

2.   What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive? Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not visible to the naked eye.

3.   An organism uses outside raw materials mostly in the form of food and oxygen. The raw materials required by an organism can be quite varied depending on the complexity of the organism and its environment.

4.   The various processes essential for maintaining life are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, control and coordination.
