Lilit [14]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

400-450 nm
550-700 nm

Explanation:

Chlorophyll pigments (mainly chlorophyll a and b) absorb the red and blue spectrum of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum for photosynthesis. This is why leaves appear green (and occasionally orange) because this visible light portion is not absorbed. The blue light absorbed by leaves ranges between 400 – 450 nm while the red light ranges between 500 nm and 700 nm.

Explain ways in which the alveoli are adapted to increase the<br>efficiency of gas exchange.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Adaptations of the alveoli:

Moist walls - gases dissolve in the moisture helping them to pass across the gas exchange surface. Permeable walls - allow gases to pass through. Extensive blood supply - ensuring oxygen rich blood is taken away from the lungs and carbon dioxide rich blood is taken to the lungs.
