Answer:

A. humans going underwater and exhaling

Explanation:

The dissolved oxygen in water refers to the amount of oxygen that is found in water. However, there are various ways that oxygen dissolves in a body of water, these includes;

- Photosynthesis of aquatic plants: Oxygen is the waste product of the photosynthetic process carried out by green plants. Hence, when aquatic plants undergo photosynthesis, oxygen from them tend to dissolve into water.

- Diffusion from the atmosphere: Oxygen from air or atmosphere also dissolves in water

- aeration as water moves over rocks and debris, and from wind and waves

However, humans do not exhale oxygen but carbon dioxide, hence, it is not a source of dissolved oxygen

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: pathogen–host coevolution

Explanation:

A major driver of evolution is Reciprocal coevolution between host and pathogen. Rather than pathogen, one-sided adaptation to a nonchanging host, high virulence specifically favoured during pathogen–host coevolution. In all of the independent replicate populations under coevolution, the pathogen ( B. thuringiensis ) genotype BT-679 with known nematocidal toxin genes of C. elegans and high virulence specifically swept to fixation but only some of them go under one-sided adaptation,

so relative change in B. thuringiensis virulence was greater than the relative change in C. elegans resistance is due to the elevated copy numbers of the plasmid containing the nematocidal toxin genes .

Drinking non-potable water does not carry significant health risks

lesya [120]

Non potable waters are not for drinking. It is not safe to be drink that's why drinking it can carry significant health risk on our body. Non potable waters are only for irrigation and other non drinking water activity. POtable waters are the water that is clean and safe to drink

AnnyKZ [126]

Competition allows science to advance at a faster pace.

Think of it as an arms race: when a country builds one battleship, their enemy builds two. This continues as both countries try to outdo each other. Competitive science works the same way.

Consider the arteriolar end of a capillary bed. During capillary exchange, the process of __________ is favored at the arteriola

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Consider the arteriolar end of a capillary bed. During capillary exchange, the process of filtration is favored at the arteriolar end due to the higher hydrostatic pressure.

Explanation:

The net filtration pressure at the arteriolar end of the capillary bed is more than 10mmHg. That is why the fluid exits capillary since capillary hydrostatic pressure is 35mmHg that is greater than blood colloidal osmotic pressure which is 25mmHg.

Hence during capillary exchange, the process of filtration is favored at the arteriolar end due to the higher hydrostatic pressure.
