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.

ikadub [295]
<span>This theory is called punctuated equilibrium. In this theory it is explained that there are very long periods of no change at all to a species, yet there are also bursts of evolutionary change interspersed within the time period. The period of remaining the same throughout time (most of the time) is called stasis, and is present within this theory of punctuated equilibrium.</span>
