The lungs are the source of oxygen for the blood, and the blood vessels pass through it in order to exchange the Carbon dioxide that has been produced through respiration, with fresh oxygen to transport to the muscles so respiration may continue.

There are a large number because a larger surface area means more diffusion can occur, and we want the gas exchange to occur as quickly as possible, so when you're working hard and the muscles need more oxygen, this can be provided.

10. If one strand of DNA is
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:As previously stated, DNA is a macromolecule that's made up of individual subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts:

Brought to you by Sciencing

A deoxyribose sugar.

A phosphate group.

A nitrogenous base.

DNA nucleotides can contain one of four nitrogenous bases. These bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

These nucleotides come together to form long chains known as DNA strands. Two complementary DNA strands bond to each other in what looks like a ladder before winding into the double helix form.

The two strands are held together through hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine (A) forms bonds with thymine (T) while cytosine (C) forms bonds with guanine (G); A only ever pairs with T, and C only ever pairs with G.

Complementary Definition (Biology)

In biology, specifically in terms of genetics and DNA, complementary means that the polynucleotide strand paired with the second polynucleotide strand has a nitrogenous base sequence that is the reverse complement, or the pair, of the other strand.

A factory located near the top of a hill leaks chemicals into the groundwater. How could this leakage affect the groundwater at
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation: ground water contamination is nearly

always the result of human activity. In

areas where population density is high and human

use of the land is intensive, ground water is especially vulnerable. Virtually any activity whereby

chemicals or wastes may be released to the environment, either intentionally or accidentally, has

the potential to pollute ground water. When

ground water becomes contaminated, it is difficult

and expensive to clean up.

To begin to address pollution prevention or remediation, we must understand how surface waters

and ground waters interrelate.
