Answer: Burping (also known as "belching" or "eructation") is one way the human body expels excess gas in your digestive system. It occurs when your stomach fills with air, which can be caused by swallowing food and liquids. Drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda, is known to increase burping because its bubbles have tiny amounts of carbon dioxide in them.
As an avid soda drinker and statistics student, you notice you tend to burp more after drinking root beer than you do after drinking cola. You decide to determine whether there is a difference between the number of burps while drinking a root beer and while drinking a cola. To determine this, you select 20 students at random from high school, have each drink both types of beverages, and record the number of burps. You randomize which beverage each participant drinks first by flipping a coin. Both beverages contain 12 fluid ounces.

In the alveolus pictured above, a disease or injury to which structures would reduce the ability of oxygen to diffuse from the alveolar space to the capillary?
A. A and B
B. B and C
C. B and D
D. A and D
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>
The correct answer is option D.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Alveoli is defined as the unicellular thickened sac like structure of lungs which helps in exchange of gases in lungs. The exchange membrane of lungs comprise of three structures -
A. The epithelium cells of Alveoli,
B. The basement membrane of alveolar epithelium,
C. The endothelial layer of blood capillary.
The red blood cells described here won't cause any problems to the diffusion of gases from alveolar cavity to blood. The structures mentioned here as the type 2 cells of Alveoli which secrete lecithin, a surfactant which releases the surface tension of Alveoli. This compound prevents the Alveoli from collapsing and helps in diffusion of gases. The other structure mentioned here as D are the alveolar epithelium which is the unicellular thickened membrane of Alveoli, helping in gaseous exchange.
Answer:
I) Blood platelets are tiny, irregular cell fragments without nucleus. They aid in blood clotting
II) Because platelets lack nucleus
Explanation:
I) Platelets are also called thrombocytes. Their appearance is as tiny, irregular cell fragments.
Their major function is to aid the clotting of blood
II) platelets cannot be called "cells" because they lack nucleus
Answer:
It means the way genes are expressed is the same in most organisms.
Explanation:
All living organisms use the same DNA or RNA as their genetic material. The manner in which the information in these genes are encoded or expressed is known as the GENETIC CODE. Genetic code comprises of all the codons that specifies amino acids in all living organisms. Only 20 amino acids in different sequential pattern makes up all proteins.
Nearly all living organisms use the same genetic code, as a codon does not specify a different amino acid in another organism. It is universal in all organisms that AUG codon specifies Methionine. Only slight differences to this pattern of genetic expression has been discovered, hence, the genetic code is said to be NEARLY UNIVERSAL.
