When we breathe in, oxygen enters our lungs and enters small sacs in our lungs called the alveoli. In the alveoli, the oxygen diffuses INTO the bloodstream through small blood vessels, called capillaries, that surround these alveoli. The oxygen is now in our bloodstream instead of our lungs and is used in cell respiration etc.

Oppositely, carbon dioxide is diffused FROM the bloodstream TO the alveoli, also through these capillaries. The carbon dioxide is now in the lungs instead of the bloodstream and when you breathe out, the carbon dioxide is breathed out out of your lungs.

Hope this helped, even if it helped a tiny bit. :)

Scientists suspect that human language evolved around _______ years ago.

yawa3891 [41]

Scientists suspect that human language evolved around 150000 years ago.
the human language is linked to the Homo Sapiens who lived around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in eastern or perhaps southern Africa
The reason why scientists suspect this is by evidence of abstract and symbolic behaviour in the early modern humans, taking the form of engravings on red-ochre.

Which is a correct statement about mutation?

leva [86]

Answer: B: Mutation increase variety in a population.

Explanation:Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. This mutation has introduce a new allele into the population that increases genetic variation and may be passed on to the next generation.

In which location would the rate of soil erosion most likely be higher than the rate of soil formation?

Over [174]

The question is incomplete, options are given below:

A. A tropical area with moderate rainfall

B. A temperate forest

C. A steep slope

D. A river delta

Answer:

C. A steep slope

Explanation:

Erosion is a weathering process that causes removal of the top layer of sediments from any geological material (rock, plain area, etc) and then transports that material to another place. This process is governed by the combined action of wind, water (precipitation), gravity, and other meteorological parameters.

For this question, four options are given among which rate of erosion would be faster than the rate of soil formation for a steep slope. For a steep slope, the movement of water and wind would be stronger along with high gravitational pull as compared to the tropical area, river delta, and temperate forest. In principle, in the temperate forest, the erosion would be lowest due to the presence of plant roots that support the soil material to stay aggregated and resist against weathering.
