Biology
1 answer:
Dovator [93]4 years ago
5 0
The alveolus (singular form) or alveoli (plural form) are tiny sacs of organs that are attached to the ends of the alveolar duct. These tiny sacs of air are clumped together that form interconnected caves, working together as a unit. They are found inside the lungs and they make the exchange of air easy and possible. Alveoli units are responsible for putting oxygen into the air that we breathe in. Blood that passes through the heart and into the lungs are converted into oxygen which will be then transported by the blood all over the body systems.  
<span>
The walls of the alveoli are extremely thin to enable the quick exchange of gases Aside from this, the linings of alveoli units are fluid in nature enabling gases to dissolve.  </span>

What are the answers for questions 4 and 5?
kow [346]

Answer:

4. D (enzymes 1 and 3 works equally well in an acidic and alkaline environment respectively)

5. C. 2; 7; 9.5

Explanation:

The image attached to this question shows a graphical representation of the pH ranges for three enzymes. According to the image;

- Enzyme 1 reached its peak reaction rate at pH 2 (acidic)

- Enzyme 2 reached its peak reaction rate at pH 7 (neutral)

- Enzyme 3 reached its peak reaction rate at pH 9.5 (basic)

This result means that enzymes 1, 2 and 3 will work well and effectively at an acidic, neutral and alkaline environment respectively. Likewise, the optimal pH level for enzymes 1, 2 and 3 are 2; 7; and 9.5 respectively.

Stem cell and cancer question. Please answer Asap!!
malfutka [58]

Metastasis will happen and cancer cells invade nearby healthy cells, tissues, lymph nodes, organs or will migrate to distant organs.

The two different types of stem cells broadly classified as  are Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are obtained from the blastocyst layer of the embryo and are pleuripotent. Whereas adult stem cells are the undifferentiated cells from tissues of an adult or a child. They can be unipotent or multipotent.

Explanation:

Cancer cells migrate to other parts of the body via blood and lymphatic system. This is called as metastasis. Cancer cells when becomes tumour they develop their own blood vessels and obtain nutrients from them. Once the tumour gets big it pushes the normal healthy cells of the neighbouring tissues and keeps on spreading.

Stem cells obtained from the embryo can differentiate into any types of cell and when grown in-vitro can dramatically form the three germ layers.

The adult embryo cells are found in less quantity, their role is to repair the tissue they reside in.
