Water releases or absorbs large amount of heat energy ,while only adjusting it’s own temperature a small amount. Water helps cope with the environmental temperatures, and keeps the body in a safe range. 3.Scientists use the presence of water as a measure of the possibility of life on a planet. Knowing that the surface temperature on Mars averages -67 degrees Fahrenheit, do you believe that the properties of water (discussed here and in your text) would support life? Why or why not? Knowing that scientist use the presence of water as a measurement of the possibility of life on Mars, I believe that even though below the surface water may exist. Its atmosphere is to thin and Mars temperature <span>is to low, for liquid water to exist there.</span>

All of the following factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except
tatuchka [14]

All of the factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except the increase in partial pressure of oxygen.

Because the affinity of haemoglobin for binding oxygen increases as  partial pressure of oxygen rises.

<h3>What is  Haemoglobin?</h3>

Red blood cells include the protein hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and carbon dioxide from those tissues back to your lungs.

<h3>What are factors that affect Haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?</h3>
  • When used as an oxygen transporter, hemoglobin can carry about 65 times as much oxygen as simple solution in plasma could.
  • A cooperative oxygen-hemoglobin affinity is produced by conformational changes in the molecule.
  • The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve's sigmoidal form reflects this characteristic.
  • Temperature, hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide, and intraerythrocytic 2,3-DPG all have an impact on hemoglobin's affinity, and they all interact with one another.

Digestion of carbohydrates fats and proteins is completed and absorption of nutrients occurs in the
vesna_86 [32]
After the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in duodenum, the digested nutrients are absorbed in the ileum.

Ileum is a section of the small intestine, after duodenum.

Food is absorbed by diffusion and active transport. Villi on the walls of the ileum helps this process, since it can increase its surface area and provide a good blood supply, thus increase the rate of absorption.

Note that water can also be absorbed in the large intestine, those water absorbed there are the ones that cannot be absorbed in the ileum.
However, not all water is absorbed as we can notice that faeces are wet.

The sympathetic nervous system differs from the parasympathetic nervous system in that _________. a. the sympathetic nervous sys
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

One of the functional differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is that in the sympathetic nervous system first stage neurons have synapses a considerable distance from the target organ (Option C).

Explanation:

Sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system, and is responsible for producing the body's activating response, such as increased heart rate, pupil dilation, and increased muscle strength and endurance. The main neurotransmitters of this system are epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine.

<em>One of the fundamental characteristics of the sympathetic nervous system is its ability to release neurotransmitters even when they are far from the receptors, while the nerve ganglia of the </em><em>parasympathetic nervous system</em><em> must be close to the target organs.</em>
