The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the air occurs in the lungs. This exchange of gases takes place a

t the cellular level through passive transport. Predict the effect of this process on homeostasis if carbon dioxide could not diffuse easily across the cell membrane and justify your response.

Answer:

Hope this helps:

Explanation:

There are two basic ways that substances can cross the plasma membrane: passive transport, which requires no energy; and active transport, which requires energy. Passive transport is explained in this section and Active transport is explained in the next section, Active Transport and Homeostasis.

And also

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the gas in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries in the lungs. Perfusion is the process by which the cardiovascular system pumps blood throughout the lungs.

How do animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists?
zalisa [80]
The correct answer is (c.) Animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists as the animal-like ones are heterotrophic in nature, whereas the plant-like protists are autotrophic. Heterotrophic is an organism in which uses carbon for growth and autotrophic is an organism in which produces complex organic compounds.

Hairlessness in American rat terriers is recessive to the presence of hair. Suppose that you have a rat terrier with hair. Expla
Reil [10]

Answer:

By performing a test cross i.e. a cross with a recessive trait

Explanation:

According to the question, hairlessness is a recessive trait, meaning that it will only be expressed in a homozygous condition i.e. when there are two recessive alleles in the genotype. Presence of hair is dominant, meaning that it will mask the phenotypic expression of hairlessness allele in a heterozygous state. Hence, a dominant phenotype can either be homozygous (same dominant allele) or heterozygous (combination of dominant and recessive alleles).

In order to determine which of these genotypes the dominant phenotype possess, we perform a test cross. A test cross is a cross performed to determine the genotype of the dominant organism by crossing it with a homozygous recessive genotype.

Ideally, the offsprings resulting from the cross will all be phenotypically dominant if the organism in question is homozygous dominant but if the organism is heterozygous dominant, the offsprings will occur in an equal ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes.

So in this case, all of offsprings of this cross between the rat terriers will possess hair if the dominant rat terrier dog is homozygous, but if the dominant rat terrier dog is heterozygous, an hairless offspring will be produced.

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST FOLLOW FIVESTAR AND THANK YOU
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.

Explanation:

<em>During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.</em>

<em />

<em>Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.</em>

<em />

<em>Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.</em>
