Nady [450]3 years ago

  • Energy is generated by glyolysis and aerobic respiration which contributes to approximately 252kcal. This is only 37% of total energy of glucose i.e 686kcal/mol.
  • According to the second law of thermodynamics all of the energy cannot  be converted into work done i.e most of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
  • So, there 63% of the energy present in glucose is lost in the form of heat and 37% of the total energy is used for cellular respiration

Margarita [4]

The symptoms of a lung-expansion injury tend to appear immediately after the dive while the symptoms of decompression sickness tend to appear usually slower after the dive.

Why does oxygen treat scuba-related illnesses?

Decompression sickness (DCS) patients address the disease process by dissolving air bubbles in the blood and tissues and diffusing excess nitrogen to oxygenate ischemic regions.

Needs to be recompressed Recompression was traditionally carried out with the assistance of a personal doctor or technician and a customized chamber that allowed for a controlled rise in atmospheric pressure. DCS divers have to travel further to decompression rooms since the number of rooms accessible for 24-hour emergency care countrywide is decreasing at an alarming rate.

Choose any electromagnetic wave we have discussed and write ONE PARAGRAPH telling me about the uses/benefits of that electromagn
uysha [10]

Answer:

A gamma-ray, or gamma radiation, is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist, and physicist discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays based on their relatively strong penetration of matter; in 1900 he had already named two less penetrating types of decay radiation alpha rays and beta rays in ascending order of penetrating power.
