The cause of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants is <u>lack of surfactant in the lungs because the lungs has not fully developed.</u>
Explanation:
Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration caused by the lack of surfactant production by the lungs.
Normally the lungs of fetus start the formation of surfactant during the third trimester of pregnancy (26 weeks through labour and delivery ). The surfactant is produced by type II alveolar cells and is the lipoprotien complex that has surface tension lowering effect (surface active agent ) having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties thus coats the air sacs and alveoli.
In the premature infants, the lungs are not fully developed hence the adequate amount of surfactant is missing thus resulting in Respiratory distress syndrome.
Evolution is a gradual change in the inherited traits of a population over many generations. Natural selection is a mechanism where the members of a population best suited to their environment have the best chance of surviving to pass on their genes.
SUPOSSEBLY IN 2035 we will have a small civilization on mars. Cause in 1 million years or less humans will be over populated on earth and forced to make room underground or higher in the skies like outer space!
The phylum Glomeromycota represents a group of fungi where all representatives of this division reproduce asexually forming Glomerospores as reproductive structures. These fungi are characterized by being a species that introduces genetic diversity in the population during reproduction, creating a diploid zygote that results from the union of the nuclei of two mutually compatible cells.
