Yes. Air can be separated through fractional distillation. The air must be cooled to a liquid first. Considering nitrogen oxygen and argon all have different boiling points, the liquid air mixture can be heated very gently and carefully in a fractionating column. Each element will eventually vaporise and they can be condensed and collected at different points up the fractionating column because they each have different boiling points.

Alveolar type ________ (VIII) cells are responsible for producing surfactant
lord [1]

Answer:

Type II cells

Explanation:

Type II alveolar cells are the round-shaped or cuboidal epithelial cells. These cells have a free surface with microvilli. The function of the type II alveolar cells is to secrete the alveolar fluid to keep the surface of the cells moist.

A mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins is present in the alveolar fluid that serves as surfactant and reduces the surface tension of the alveolar fluid. The overall effect of the presence of surfactant in alveolar fluid is to protect the alveoli against collapsing during exhalation.

PLEASE HELP! ASAP! FIFTEEN POINTS!
oee [108]

Answer:

Anatomy supports the theory of evolution because some species share similar physical features that was present in a common ancestor.

An example of shared anatomy is sharks and dolphins. types of analogous structures, such as dolphins and sharks, do not prove species are related, but rather they support the Theory of Evolution by show how species do build up adaptations in order to fit into their environments

Molecular biology because DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life. DNA comparisons can show how related species are.

in recent research is has been shown that the myoglobin and hemoglobin sequences for dozens of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, worms, and molluscs were related.

Structural similarities is when different animals share the same structural similarities. For example the skeletons of turtles, horses, humans, birds, and bats are very similar, despite their t different ways of life and the diversity of their environments.
