Where is air almost completely humidified? in the lungs in the trachea in the alveoli in the nose?

1 answer:

3 0

None of the provided choices provide a completely correct answer. In fact, 75% of humidification takes place in the nose and mouth, with the rest taking place in the trachea. When you breath in, mucous membranes inside the nose and mouth release moisture to air. It is estimated that the average adult evaporates 200 to 300 ml of water per day during this process. The process is very efficient: while breathing in through nose or mouth, the mucous membranes are cooled down. During breathing out, this cooling effect causes condensation of some of the moisture in the air coming from the lungs, thereby moisturizing the mucous membranes

The correct option is ALDOSTERONE.
Angiotensin ll is one of the most potent sodium retaining hormones. It regulates aldosterone release from the adrenal cortex. The aldosterone hormone stimulates sodium re-absorption through mineralocorticoid receptors in the connecting and cortical segments of the collecting tubules.

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is _______ ( 1mM = 10-3M)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4

Explanation:

The pH of any solution is given by the following mathematical equation -

$pH = -log[H_{+}]\\$ ----------- Equation (A)

Where,

$H_{+}$ = the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution.

Given

$H_{+}$

= $0.1mM\\=0.1 * 10^{-3}\\= 10^{-4}\\$

Substituting the given value in equation (A) , we get -

$pH = -log[10^{-4}]$

$= -(-4)\\= 4$

Hence, The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4

Lesechka [4]

The Hershey–Chase experiment was based on a bacteriophage T2 (a virus), to that DNA is the genetic material. Bacteriophage T2 attacks bacterium and makes its copies. Based on the experiment, Hershey and Chase deduced that it is the DNA of virus enters bacteria to make virus copies. To trace viral DNA, Hershey and Chase label DNA with ³²P (radioisotope of phosphorus) because phosphorus is not present in most of the proteins.
