Biology
1 answer:
Pie2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Their diameters  

Explanation:

An equation for the resistance to flow of a fluid through a pipe is

R = \dfrac{8 \eta l }{\pi r^{4}}

where

η = the viscosity of the fluid

l = the length of the pipe  

r = the radius of the pipe

The fourth-power term shows that even small changes in the radius (or diameter) of the passageways will cause large changes in airway resistance.

When the diameter of the airway gets as small as 1 mm, the resistance to air flow is quite large.

Answer:

Una de las características de los seres vivos se encuentra en su composición biológica, dado que todos ellos están constituidos por cuatro bioelementos esenciales que se encuentran de manera abundante en la naturaleza:

Carbono

Hidrógeno

Oxígeno

Nitrógeno

Estos bioelementos o elementos biogénicos están presentes en las biomoléculas, que son las que dan forma a la materia que constituye a los seres vivos. Estas moléculas están formadas, a su vez, por la unión de átomos.

De estos bioelementos, es importante destacar el papel del hidrógeno y el oxígeno, que dan lugar a la molécula del agua. El agua, o H2O, juega un papel fundamental en el funcionamiento de los seres vivos.

218.75 grams of protein.

Explanation:

2500÷35×100 =875 kcal would be provided by protein.

As one gram of protein provide 4 kcal of energy:

875÷4 = 218.75 grams of potein would be consumed.
