Answer:

The strong hydrogen bonds   in water made water stable and difficult to breakdown into constituent  oxygen and hydrogen atoms.  at a temprature less than 100 degree..

Oxygen is a strong electronegative atom than  the two hydrogen atoms it is attached to in  water. It  pulls more electrons to itself than the hydrogen atoms.. This strengthened  hydrogen bonds in water .

Consequently, it will be difficult for the needed oxygen atoms to simply diffuse into the alveoli to reach the blood,Compare to its  molecular form  where its atoms awere held  by relatively week covalent bonds.

Besides the porosity    of the thin  alveolar endothelial   walls of 0.2 micrometer is   too small for the larger water molecules to pass through.

Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

During asexual reproduction, the parent essentially clones their DNA to make their child. This means that there is very little possible variation, except for some occasional mutations. However, during sexual reproduction, the child gets the copy of DNA from both of their parents, and their features a mixture of their parents. This makes them not identical to either parent, unlike asexual reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B. Hope this helps!
