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.

Answer:

Adaptation.

Explanation:

Adaptation occurs when the acid tolerance of several plant species has increased significantly in the polluted area. The main reason for this tolerance is the change in the genetic makeup or mutation occurs in the cell due to the exposure of DNA to the chemicals of the environment that cause pollution. The plant adopt the environment by producing certain chemicals that cancel the effects of pollutants and as a result, the plant survive.

The moon has a higher maximum surface temperature compared to Earth (253 degrees of moon to 136 degrees of Earth), but this also depends on night (which is colder) or day (which is hotter).

The moon has such extreme temperatures because it has no atmosphere that can "reflect" some of the heat from the sun, whereas the earth does.
