Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the the environment. Without water the balance is upset.
Answer:
Emphysema.
Explanation:
COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is the medical condition that causes inflammation in lungs and makes breathing problematic. Chronic bronchitis and Emphysema are the two main conditions included in COPD.
Emphysema is the extreme lung condition of COPD that causes the breath shortness. The alveoli are completely damaged and also reduces the amount of oxygen in the body. The emphysema condition causes the decrease in the lung surface area and reduces the amount of oxygen.
Thus, the answer is emphysema.
The main way in which the four building blocks of “competitive
advantage” can make an organization more successful is by allowing for
products to be made with less overhead capital, therefore increasing
profits.
