How does the structure of alveoli maximize gas exchange?

Biology
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The alveoli are sacks coated on their inner wall by white and sticky liquid, they can be more than a millimeter in diameter and surface active agent. In them there is the exchange of gases between O2 and CO2.

They are evaginations of the epithelium of the air ducts with a single opening for the gases to exit and enter, controlled by the action of a smooth muscle sphincter. Its walls, called alveolar septa, provide a large increase in the exchange surface.

Two species of closely related frogs are found in the same pond high in the Andes of South America. Both species only have teeth
IgorLugansk [536]

Complete question:

Two species of closely related frogs are found in the same pond high in the Andes of South America. Both species only have teeth on the top jaw. One has small teeth for holding small live prey prior to swallowing. The other species has very large sharp teeth for injuring and killing large prey prior to biting off pieces of flesh for consumption. The above is an example of:

  • Directional selection
  • Analogous structures
  • Character displacement
  • Hybridization
  • Vestigial structures

Answer:

  • Character displacement

Explanation:

Competition is an ecological and evolutive process very common in nature. Competition might be intra- or interspecific. Competition between different species in a community or ecosystem might be due to the same resource use, or the same territory, shelter, etcetera. When a resource is useful for two or more species, and limited, they compete to gain it.

The principle of competitive exclusion states that different species with the same requirements sharing the niche can not coexist indefinitely based on the same limited resource. When <u>two competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation</u>.

Differentiation of effective niche is closely related to <u>character displacement.</u>

<u>Character displacement</u> is the result of interspecific competition, in which two or more species that live in the same habitat manage to avoid competition by developing different traits. Morphological divergence, or any adaptative trait development, fixated genetically, is the product of niche segregation. Species tend to differentiate morphologically in the presence of strong competitors. Traits divergence favors coexistence in the same place.

In the exposed example, both species live in the same pond. But to avoid competition and competitive exclusion, species developed different teeth sizes to feed on different prey items.

Where do plants obtain the oxygen necessary to utilize foods? directly from products of photosynthesis from the splitting of wat
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

from the splitting of water molecule.

Explanation:

The splitting of water molecules  by sunlight is called Photolysis. This is the first reaction in photosynthesis; which occurs by catalysis  of enzymes of Photo system 11.

It involves the splitting of water molecules into;

hydrogen ion/protons.

Oxygen

and electron.

<u> Oxygen is  the by product liberated into the atmosphere, for animals to inhale for the process of cellular respiration</u><u>.</u>This is the source of oxygen fro cellular respiration in animals.

the hydrogen ions combined with electrons from photosystem 1 to reduce NADP .The latter is used to reduce C02  to form carbohydrate in light independent reaction
