The four important characteristics of respiratory surface are:
1. Thin walls
2. Moisture
3. Large surface area
4. Blood supply
Respiratory system or respiratory tract is divided into upper and lower tract. Upper respiratory tract includes nose and its cavities, sinuses, pharynx and the part of the larynx. Lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli.
Alveoli are the ends of the respiratory tract the smallest units in it. Alveoli are small folded air sacs that are branching off from alveolar ducts and providing an extremely large surface area for the gas exchange. Gas exchange occurs thanks to small blood vessels – capillaries that surround alveoli and it occurs via the process of diffusion.
So, respiratory surface is thin membrane also known as the blood–air barrier that consists of the alveolar epithelial cells, their basement membranes and the endothelial cells of the alveolar capillaries.
Mountain lions/highest trophic levels receives less energy as energy is lost at each level/mountain lions are larger than most animals and require (smaller) individuals for food.
First, let's find the angle of inclination using the tangent function.
sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = 1 m/2 m
θ = 30°
Assuming the ramp is frictionless, the force balance is:
F = mgsinθ = ma
Cancelling out m,
a = gsinθ = (9.81 m/s²)(sin 30°) = 4.905 m/s²
Using the equation for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration,
x = v₀t + 0.5at²
2 m = (6 m/s)(t) + 0.5(4.905 m/s²)(t²)
Solving for tm
t = 0.297 seconds
Using the equation for acceleration:
a = (v - v₀)/t
4.905 m/s² = (v - 6 m/s)/0.297 s
Solving for v,
v = 7.46 m/s
Answer:
The FDA regulates the use of medicines, vaccines and food supplies in the United States thus contributing to the public health of the country. This organization is classified as a federal consumer protection agency. The FDA gives tools through its means and scientific knowledge to users to make decisions.
