Boyle's law states that the relationship between pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas at a fixed temperature is inversely proportional. This means that the higher the pressure, the lower the volume, in a proportional relationship. Therefore, of the statements listed, b: 'the temperature and the number of molecules must remain constant for the law to apply' and d: 'a<span>s the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases proportionally</span>' are correct.
The answer relates to the medium in which the sensed molecules travel. On land, animals detect a scent through organic molecules transported in the air. Land animals will experience a taste sensation by grasping an object using their mouth. Here, the organic molecules providing the sensation are transported by saliva or organic fluids of the object. So on land, there is a clear distinction between molecules transported in the wind and those that can be tasted. Water is a much more dense medium than air, and can carry small and large organic molecules, unlike air. Therefore, aquatic animals have little need for olfactory organs as all molecules can be 'tasted' from the water.
Answer:
C) esophagus - moves air from the nose into the lungs
Explanation:
The oesophagus is a muscular tube with a sphincter valve at each end. Its main function is to transport food and fluid, after being swallowed, from the mouth to the stomach.This is propelled from the pharynx into the oesophagus, and towards the stomach in a peristaltic waves. The peristalsis also pushes food along the alimentary canal
