Liula [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs called alveoli in mammals and reptiles, but atria in birds. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration.

Explain how the edges and corridors can strongly influence landscape biodiversity
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The edges or boundaries between the ecosystems and within it are the illustrating characteristics of landscapes. In a landscape, the biodiversity is affected by the composition of the landscape itself. When an area possesses boundaries or edges, which minimize the area of the habitat, it also starts to minimize the number of species, which can associate with the communities.  

The multiplication of edge species can exhibit both negative and positive influences on the biodiversity of a community. On the other hand, corridors refer to the region associated with the populations of wildlife distinguished by human activities like road construction. The prime objective of designing habitat corridors is to enhance biodiversity. The corridors that have been protracted to other habitat patches can reinstate a certain degree of space and at the same time reestablish certain chances for genetic diversity.

In plant, cell that transport water against the force of gravity are found to contain many more mitochondria than do some other
Anna [14]
For this question I'm not too sure what you're asking because cells that transport water are basically xylem cells and these cells are hollow with nothing in them, and they transport water against gravity because of transpiration pull, capillary action and root pressure.
The cells that I know of with many mitochondria for transport would be the phloem so that the mitochondria can carry out cellular respiration to release energy for the translocation of sucrose.

In the exercise to determine the concentration of a solution of CuSO4, for the
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

Experimentally, when trying to determine the concentration of an unknown sample of CuSO₄ with known absorbance, a standard curve is used. The standard curve is a scattered plot/graph in which known concentrations and there respective/corresponding absorbance are plotted on a "X and Y axis" graph (scattered plot). The absorbance is represented on the y-axis while the concentration is represented on the x-axis.

Once this known values are plotted on the standard curve, an unknown value (either absorbance or concentration) can be extrapolated from the curve. What is missing from the question is data required for the standard curve.

This question shows the absorbance of the CuSO₄ has been determined (most likely using spectrophotometer), the concentration could have been extrapolated from a standard curve.

An example of a standard curve is provided in the attachment for guidance.
