Answer:

b. Exchange between the plasma and the intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.

Explanation:

The body fluid can be categorized as extracellular and intracellular fluid. The fluid within cells is called intracellular fluid and the body fluid outside body cells makes the extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues.

On the other hand, the extracellular fluid present within blood vessels is termed blood plasma. Therefore, plasma and intracellular fluid can exchange material via interstitial fluid only, not directly via the cell membrane. The exchange between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.

1. What is cultural control? What are the practices done in this approach? What are the advantages and disadvantages of cultural

timama [110]

1.a.In agriculture cultural control is the practice of modifying the growing environment to reduce the prevalence of unwanted pests. Examples include changing soil pH or fertility levels, irrigation practices, amount of sunlight, temperature, or the use of beneficial animals or insects.

1.b. Cultural control is using the production or utilization methods of a commodity with a concern for insect management. Cultural control practices are usually multipurpose technical procedures that create environments that either avoid high-risk situations for infestations or develop unfavorable conditions for pests.

1.c.Simplicity and low cost are the primary advantages of cultural control tactics, and disadvantages are few as long as these tactics are compatible with a farmer's other management objectives (high yields, mechanization, etc.).

The lungs remain inflated because ___________.a. intrapleural pressure is exactly equal to atmospheric pressure b. intrapleural

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Option C, Intrapleural pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure

Explanation:

During inspiration, the air enters the lungs due to lower pressure in the intrapulmonary or intra-alveolar than the atmospheric pressure. During quite respiration, the intrapulmonary pressure reduces to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg lower than that of atmospheric pressure. During quiet expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure rises up to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg higher than that of atmospheric pressure. This leads to lack of air in the intrapleural space thereby producing intrapleural pressure which is lesser than that of intrapulmonary pressure.

This difference in pressure (i.e higher pressure with in the lungs than the atmosphere) causes lungs to remain attached to the chest wall and hence looks inflated.

Hence, option C is correct
