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

Biology
1 answer:
Orlov [11]4 years ago
3 0

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).

Identify the plant tissues in the three images.<br> A<br> B.<br> C
Bond [772]

I originally asked for the images but I will give it my best shot at answering your question without them! :D

There are only three types of plant tissues:

1. Dermal

2. Ground

3. Vascular

The dermal tissue is the outside of the plant's root, stem, or leaf, A.K.A the  the skin. If you're looking at a circular image, what ever is pointing to the outside ring of the stem is the dermal tissue.

The ground tissue is the flesh of the plant that is inside the dermal tissue. It surrounds the vascular tissue in the middle of the stem. Whatever letter is pointing to the wide, fleshy ring, that is touching the dermal tissue is the ground tissue. It is the largest part of a plants stem, roots, or leaves.

Lastly, the very inner ring or rings of the plant is the vascular tissue. It's made up of xylem and phloem. This can be found in many different places depending on the part of the plant, but what you're looking for is tiny circles within the ground tissue. If you're looking at the roots, you will see one circle in the very center of the plant, surrounded by ground tissue. If you're looking at the leaves, you will see one circle as well, and additionally other tiny circles throughout the ground tissue in each wing. Lastly, if you're looking at the stem, you'll see a circle of tiny circles within the ground tissue. These small circles are all vascular tissue.
