Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

In an organism, the mechanism of gas exchange depends on the partial pressure and total pressure of the gas.  Partial pressure is the pressure of the gas exerted by a single type of gas in a mixture of gases and this pressure determines the movement of gases in the system.

The diffusion of the oxygen from the alveoli to blood capillaries depends on the partial pressure as the partial pressure of oxygen is high in alveoli measured about 104 mmHg compared to the capillaries measured about 40 mmHg.

This difference in the pressure generates pressure gradient which leads to the movement of the oxygen from alveoli to the capillaries as the movement takes place from higher to lower concentration gradient.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Nonprofit or voluntary agencies provide many services.
antiseptic1488 [7]
Nonprofit or voluntary agencies receive their funding from various sources:
1. Government grants - Most governments in the world offer funding for various nonprofit organisations. For example, civilian Search and Rescue organisations often receive government grants to buy equipment required. 
2. Fundraising - Nonprofit or volunteer agencies often hold fundraising activities or drives. For example, the national blood bank holds drives where they encourage people to donate blood. 
Free health care for the elderly is often provided by a nonprofit organisation. I've already mentioned the national blood bank. Another voluntary agency is the K9 (dog) Search and Rescue teams around the world. They provide their own dogs and training and are willing to travel to any country in the world to help in disaster situations, for example, the devastating earthquakes in Nepal.

What are <br> 3 potential health harms <br> of using stimulants?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Cocaine can speed up heart rate and cause the heart to lose its natural rhythm. In rare cases, this can lead to a heart attack.

Cocaine constricts blood vessels, which forces the heart to work harder to pump blood.

Regularly snorting cocaine can lead to loss of sense of smell, nosebleeds, and problems with swallowing. The overall irritation can lead to a chronically inflamed, runny nose

I hope I helped :3
