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.

Why are gymnosperms no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses?
erastovalidia [21]

Gymnosperms are no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses because they have evolved to produce non-flagellated pollens that do not require water or moisture to reach the egg whereas ferns and mosses have flagellated sperm that needs moisture to swim towards the egg.

Another major evolutionary adaption in gymnosperms is the production of seeds instead of spores since seeds contain their own nutrition in the form of endosperm, seeds can travel large distances through wind or animals and can germinate when they find suitable conditions. Seeds can remain dormant for several years whereas spores have a shorter lifespan.

The bottleneck event that decimated the bison was caused by _______.
Whitepunk [10]
The answer is an overhunting.

<span>The bottleneck event means drastic reduction of the population size because of environment changes. The consequence of this is the reduction of genetic variation. The bison population is a good example of the population bottleneck. The bison population drastically reduced its size due to overhunting which culminated at the end of the 19th century, when bisons almost extinct. </span>

A microorganism has the following characteristics: Its cells have a nucleus and cell walls, it is multicellular, and it grows in
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

It must belong to the Kingdom Fungi.

Explanation:

Fungi are the organisms that have long thread-like structures called hypha in their body. Many hyphae together form a mass called mycelium. Fungi are eukaryotes and have a well-defined nucleus in their cells. They also have cell walls that are made up of chitin. Fungi are mostly multicellular. However, yeast is the fungi that have a single cell in their body. Fungi are heterotrophs and derive their nutrition by parasitic or saprophytic mode of nutrition. Therefore, the given description tells that the microbe should be a fungus.
