_______ has a greater partial pressure in the pulmonary capillaries than in the alveoli

Biology
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

Diffusion is a simple process of molecular movement, from their higher concentration to the area with their lower concentration. The process of CO2 movement from the pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli is part of the gas exchange (together with oxygen movenent in opposite direction) and it is actually simple diffusion. Alveoli have huge surface area, thin cell walls and a lot of blood vessels around them. All of these are adaptations that facilitate gas exchange. There is a gradient in partial pressure of the CO2:  it is much higher in the pulmonary capillaries than in the alveoili so it moves down its gradient-from the blood  to the alveoli (exhale).

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents?
WITCHER [35]

Answer: They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

The temperature and salinity has a major impact on water current of oceanic water. The warm water is usually less denser than colder water, so it remains at the surface of water body, whereas the colder water being more in density remain in a depth. The salinity of cold water is more than the warm water.

According to the above explanation, they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them is the correct explanation.

What ecological roles do liverworts mosses and hornworts play in the environment?
alexandr1967 [171]

They are among the first colonizers of an environment. This way they break down rocks and make nutrients available for other plants. They help in retention of water in a habitat and also shelter many microorganisms. They also decompose organic matter hence play an important role in the cycling of nutrient in the environment.
