Answer: <u>External respiration</u>

It is a process where oxygen from the lungs diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide collected from the cells, goes into the alveolar space of the lungs. It is also called as <u>breathing</u>, where air from outside is inhaled through the nose and goes to the lungs. From there it goes through the blood to every cell of the body.

olasank [31]

The right answer is: aorta to smaller systemic arteries to systemic capillaries to systemic veins to right atrium through the tricuspid valve.

The blood pathway is divided into two circuits, both beginning and ending in the heart.

- Systemic circulation (or general circulation, or "circulation")

It begins in the left ventricle, which through an artery distributes oxygenated blood to organs. Then the blood returns to the right heart (right atrium) through the cellar veins.

Each organ has an afferent vessel, supplying blood, and an efferent vessel carrying non-oxygenated blood.

- The pulmonary circulation (or "small circulation")

It begins in the right ventricle, from where the pulmonary artery sends blood without hematosis to a single organ, the lung. The blood is then oxygenated and returns to the left heart (left atrium) by the pulmonary veins.

What does it mean to maintain a stable internal environment?
Anna11 [10]

Answer: It means to guide and regulate chemical and physical parameters to keep your body or environment in a constate state for proper functioning.

Explanation: This is called homeostasis. The body has systems in place to monitor its components such as cells, organs and any other molecule needed to maintain life and good health. The body needs to maintain its temperature at 37°C, pH of blood at 7.4, water balance, osmotic pressure, growth rate and tissue repairs whenever it dictates the need, danger of infection or injury.

All of these form an integral part of a healthy living organism and it needs to always be stable, regulated and monitored. This is called maintaining homeostasis.

Provide the term for base triplets on tRNA
Semmy [17]
The answer is anticodon.

Anticodons are base triplets on transfer RNA (tRNA). t<span>RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis. </span>The prefix<em> anti-</em> suggests that anticodons are complementary to the codons on mRNA. Codons are base triplets on mRNA. So, anticodons of tRNA pair with codons of mRNA in the process of protein synthesis.
