Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option

A. 6440 mL/min

B. 4340 mL

C. 3500 mL/min

D. 2940 mL/min

Solution

It is required to find the minute ventilation which is equal to the product of rate of breathing and the total amount of gas being inhaled or exhaled per breathe.  Let this minute ventilation be denoted by "V_f"

Thus,

V_f = TD * B_r

where TD is the tidal volume and Br is the rate of breathing

Substituting the given values we get

V_f = 460 *14 \\V_f = 6440

We will now reduce the air held in the conducting zone of respiratory system

Air held per breathe = 210

Total Air held

= 210 * 14 \\= 2940

Amount of fresh air one can breathe in and out every minute

= 6440 - 2940 \\= 3500

Hence, Option C is correct

Los autosomas son aquellos cromosomas que se caracterizan por
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Los autosomas o cromosomas autosómicos han sido ordenados de acuerdo a la morfología que poseen. ... Cada par de cromosomas son homólogos, es decir, contienen genes idénticos, con la misma ubicación a lo largo de cada cromosoma (locus). Ambos codifican para las mismas características genéticas.

Un autosoma es cualquier de los cromosomas, excepto los cromosomas sexuales. Los humanos tienen 22 pares de autosomas y un par de cromosomas sexuales (el par número 23, formado en las mujeres por dos cromosomas X y, en los hombres, un cromosoma X y un cromosoma Y).

mart [117]
I can only assume it’s showing you a graph of a reaction with and without a catalyst. So the dotted line would be without the catalyst.
