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. :)

Can somebody please label the parts of the frog?

zvonat [6]

Answer: As in other higher vertebrates, the frog body may be divided into a head, a short neck, and a trunk (see Vertebrates). The flat head contains the brain, mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. A short, almost rigid neck permits only limited head movement. The stubby trunk forms walls for a single body cavity, the coelom.

How does substance A affect the amount of activstion energy needed by the process? Explain?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Substance A affects the amount of the activation energy needed by the process by catalyzing the reaction. Enzymes are the natural biological catalyst that lowers the activation energy for a reaction to proceed faster at a low energy requirement.

Explanation:

The reactants in the solution react to form a product. For a reaction to happen some energy is needed. The energy which helps reactants to break some bonds and make other bonds to make a product is known as activation energy.

Enzymes are the biological molecules which lower this activation energy by catalyzing the reaction by helping in breaking old bonds and forming new bonds to create a product.
