Answer:

It would be located under the lungs,A good trick to remember this is to take a deep breath and feeling below where your ribs end

Answer:

below the lungs above the ribs

Explanation:

The diaphragm is a thin skeletal muscle that is located at the base of the chest.

This muscle contracts and flattens when one inhales, this in turn creates a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs.

The muscle relaxes when one exhales and the air is pushed out of lungs.

The diaphragm separates the abdomen from the chest.

The above process is known as breathing.

This is what causes the chest to move up and down.

Explain the respiratory system of a frog and the importance of "vacularization" of the skin and the mesentery
fredd [130]

 The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.

A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs. The mechanism of taking air into the lungs is however sligthly different than in humans. Frogs do not have ribs nor a diaphragm, which in humans helps serve in expand the chest and thereby decreasing the pressure in the lungs allowing outside air to flow in.

In order to draw air into its mouth the frog lowers the floor of its mouth, which causes the throat to expand. Then the nostrils open allowing air to enter the enlarged mouth. The nostrils then close and the air in the mouth is forced into the lungs by contraction of the floor of the mouth. To elimate the carbon dioxide in the lungs the floor of the mouth moves down, drawing the air out of the lungs and into the mouth. Finally the nostrils are opened and the floor of the mouth moved up pushing the air out of the nostrils.

Frogs also have a respiratory surface on the lining of their mouth on which gas exchange takes place readily. While at rest, this process is their predominate form of breathing, only fills the lungs occasionally. This is because the lungs, which only adults have, are poorly developed.

Count up the number of atoms on each side of the equation below and write this in the chart.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The equation to this question is unclear. The clear equation is:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

Please find the number of atoms of each element on the reactant and product side below.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible part of an element. The atom retains the chemical properties of the chemical element. In order to ensure that a chemical reaction between molecules and compounds is BALANCED, the number of atoms of each element that makes up the molecule/compound must be the same on both the reactants and products side.

In this case, the chemical reaction involves:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

1. Carbon atom (C):

Reactants side = 1 atom

Products side = 1 atom

2. Oxygen atom (O):

Reactants side = 4 atoms

Products side = 4 atoms

3. Hydrogen atom (H):

Reactants side = 4 atoms

Products side = 4 atoms

Help me please!<br> In your own words, what are the differences between the plant and animal cell?
serious [3.7K]

animal cell works differently than plant cell

animal cell have million of cell as well plant..

animal cell have four key part ..plant cell have cell wall,chloroplasts, vacuoles

Explanation:

Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Cell walls provide support and give shape to plants.

Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not. Chloroplasts enable plants to perform photosynthesis to make food.

Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuole(s), while animal cells have smaller vacuoles, if any are present. Large vacuoles help provide shape and allow the plant to store water and food for future use. The storage function plays a lesser role in animal cells, therefore the vacuoles are smaller.

If a solution process is exothermic, how does the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released?
Misha Larkins [42]
If a solution process is exothermic, the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released is that, the energy requiredis less than the energy released. When we sayexothermic, heat is evolved. On the other hand,when heat is absorbed, this is called endothermic.
