<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

756 mm Hg

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Intrapleural pressure is the pressure of the air within the pleural cavity, between the visceral and parietal pleurae. This pressure changes during different phases of breathing.
  • <em><u>Due to certain characteristics of the lungs, the intrapleural pressure is always lower than, or negative to, the intra-alveolar pressure. It  remains approximately –4 mm Hg throughout the breathing cycle.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; if the intrapulmonary pressure was 760 mm hg then the intrapleural pressure will be (760 -4) mm Hg, that is 756 mm Hg</u></em>

Answer:

Lake A: pH = 4.5; Lake B: pH = 7.5

Explanation:

I think that one because if you look on the acid vs base chart acid is from 0-6 and bases are from 8-14 and acids are less toxic, so you would infer that lake A has acid and lake B has bases.

i would have picked the ones closest to 7 ,which is neutral, but I'm not sure that a base can be lower then 7 so I didn't pick answer C

How do enzymes catalyze chemical reactions (don't just say "they lower the activation energy", give me specific mechanisms)?
Rina8888 [55]
They do lower the activation energy but they provide an alternate pathway for the reaction to happen quicker and they do not get used up in the reaction
