Robert decides to go for a run when he gets home from school. As he begins running, his breathing rate starts to increase. What

are the mechanisms that cause his breathing rate to increase?
A.
When carbon dioxide levels in the blood decrease, the respiratory center sends signals to the alveoli to increase the volume that they expand.
B.
When oxygen levels in the blood decrease, the respiratory center sends signals to the diaphragm to increase the rate at which it contracts and relaxes.
C.
The respiratory control center senses the need for more oxygen, which causes the trachea to push and pull air more forcefully.
D.
The diaphragm senses the need for more oxygen, which causes it to expand and contract more quickly in order to inflate and deflate the lungs.

When a person starts exercising (running) the increase in energy expenditure causes an elevation of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. To compensate for this the respiratory control center senses the LOW oxygen level in blood and the HIGH carbon dioxide level and signals the diaphragm to contract and relax more often (INCREASE THE RATE).

The answer is B

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is low level of oxygen in blood is sensed by the brain respiratory center which signals the diaphragm to increase the rate at which it contracts and relaxes.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • As we are running, our muscles are are using great amount of energy relative to energy productions in these cells. So these cells start breaking the glucose at higher rate to meet up energy needs.
  • So oxygen is used in respiration and its amount suddenly decrease.
  • to increase this oxygen level brain signals to raise the breathing rate.

Suppose that the pedigree shown in the transparency is for a trait caused by recessive allele.is it possible to infer from the p
kicyunya [14]
As we can see in the pedigree, both of the parents do not possess the trait, but one of the four offspring (marked with red) is expressing the trait.
Since the trait is recessive, the only way that is possible that the parents who do not possess the trait to have the offspring with the trait is that the parents are heterozygous for the trait. Meaning that both of the parents have one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

What are CD4+ cells?
telo118 [61]
The answer is <span>B.  immune cells that are destroyed by HIV 

CD4+ are immune cells (white blood cells) and are an important part of the immune system. Their name comes from the presence of CD4 glycoprotein on their surface. HIV uses CD4 glycoproteins on the surface of CD4+ cells to entry into the cells. The consequence is a reduced number of those cells. Therefore, CD4+ immune cells are destroyed by HIV.</span>

An adaptation becomes more widespread in a population through the process of _____.
vovangra [49]
C) Natural selection

When something happens in nature and something changes all of a sudden, the animals tend to adapt to what gives them more chances of survival.  As a result, a large amount of the population would attempt to adapt in a way that helps them survive.

Suppose you travel to a tropical place like the Bahamas and watch the coastal poikilotherms, such as fish, crabs, and starfish,
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

exposure of the opposite environments to the species and see if they are able to be active in cold waters.

If they are then species of organism in Maine and could have more ice-nucleating agents which are responsible for their high ability for activity in cold waters.

Explanation:

To test the assess if the Maine species of organisms are especially able to be active in cold waters an experiment can be designed where one needs to place the species or animals from Maine and Bahamas in reverse conditions.

Maine animals are placed in warm water environments and species from the Bahamas can be placed in cold water. Finding if they are able to adapt in reverse condition by calculating various processes and motion, if yes then  it shows that it is not a special ability to survive in cold temps. However, if it is not then the Maine poikilotherms are specially designed for their environment. In case of yes then species of organism in Maine and could have more ice-nucleating agents
