Answer:
c. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is greater than 100 mm Hg
Explanation:
Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. If the molecules are gas molecules, they will diffuse from the region of higher pressure to the region of lower pressure.
Hence, for net diffusion to occur from the water to the bloodstream, the partial pressure of oxygen in water must be higher than the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream.
<em>Since the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream is 100 mm Hg, then the partial pressure of the gas in water must be more than 100 mm Hg in order for net diffusion to occur from water to the bloodstream.</em>
a variable whose values are independent of changes in the values of other variables
Answer:
A. binomial system
B. According to taxon
Explanation:
A. The binomial system of nomenclature brings order to a chaotic world of common names. No two kinds of animals have the same binomial name, and every animal has only one correct name, as required by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, thereby avoiding the confusion that common names cause.
B. Any grouping of animals that shares a particular set of characteristics forms an assemblage called a taxon. For example, a housefly (<u>Musca</u> <u>domestica</u>), although obviously unique, shares certain characteristics with other flies (the most important of these being a single pair of wings). Based on these similarities, all true flies form a logical, more inclusive taxon. Further, all true flies share certain characteristics with bees, butter-flies, and beetles. Thus, these animals form an even more inclusive taxon. They are all insects.
