Answer:

bicarbonate-carbaminohemoglobin-dissolved in plasma

Explanation:

Transport of CO2 in the blood occurs in three main forms. Most of the CO2 is carried in the blood as bicarbonate. It accounts for transport of about 70% CO2. In RBCs, CO2 reacts with water in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into H+ and HCO3-. Bicarbonate formation also occurs in blood plasma.

About 23% of CO2 is carried in the form of carbamino-compounds. Binding of CO2 to hemoglobin forms carbaminohemoglobin. The smallest percentage of CO2 (about 7%) is dissolved in blood plasma and is diffused into the alveolar air as it reaches the lungs.

All organisms in an ecosystem are interrelated by the abiotic and biotic resources they use in the course of their lives:

<span>a)      </span>The milkweed is the primary producer in the ecosystem. It manufactures food from the abiotic factors in the soil such as nitrates and water and those in the atmosphere such as carbon-dioxide and sunlight. The milk weed is then fed on by the caterpillar and a primary consumer. The caterpillar is then fed on the mocking bird (secondary consumer)

<span>b)      </span>Increased human population growth and their activities have resulted in the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This has increased the global temperature. This increase of global temperature increase ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching.

Another example is depletion of water sources by human activities hence causing drought. Drought reduces the amount of vegetation growth due to scarcity of water in the soil (due to lowering of the water table) for plant growth.

Which state of a dead body is caused by the lack of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the muscles?
Ket [755]

Answer:

__Rigor mortis__________ is caused by the lack of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the muscles

Explanation:

The rigor mortis corresponds to the stiffness of the muscles (they cannot contract or elongate) due to the lack of ATP, where I fixed the bridges between actin and myosin. This event happens when the oxygen transporting organs stop working.

Chicken, beef, pork, and egg are sources of protein from most efficient to least efficient.

option(a) and option(b) i.e, being an informed consumer and buying locally farmed produce supports sustainable agriculture.

overnutrition is consuming more calories than necessary. undernutrition is consuming less calories than necessary. malnutrition is not consuming enough food to gain specific nutrients needed to sustain life.

option ( a, b, e, f, i, and j ) are risks of using pesticides.

Large biomolecules and macromolecules known as proteins are made up of one or more extended chains of amino acid residues. It aids in cell regeneration and repair in your body.

Sustainable agriculture is the practice of farming in a way that satisfies society's current demands for food and textiles without endangering the ability of present or future generations to meet their own needs. It might be founded on knowledge of ecosystem services.

The biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses food to sustain its life is known as nutrition. Consumption, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion are all included. Nutritional science is the field of study that focuses on the physiological aspects of nutrition.

Pest control agents are compounds known as pesticides. Insecticide, nematicide, molluscicide, piscicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, insecticide, animalized, microbicide, fungicide, and lampricide are some examples of these.
