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

Which surface erosion event does the most short- term damage?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Occurrence of mud slides after heavy rains.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is defined as the removal of top soil from the land and it affects the fertility of the soil. It is also known as soil degradation.

Soil erosion has both short-term and long-term damage. Short-term damage of erosion includes the occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains which is called landslide. It is a short-term damage because landslides took long-duration to happen and when happened it can be shortly recovered using machines.

Hence, the correct answer is "the Occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains."

1. Explain using diagram how monomers are arranged in Thermoplastic and Thermosettingplastics.

Romashka [77]

Explanation:

In thermoplastics, the arrangement of monomeric units is linear and in thermosetting plastics, it is cross-linked. Thermoplastics are usually soft, weak and less brittle, so can get soften on heating and stiffen on cooling. They can be melted, remoulded and recycled easily.

When alcohol intake exceeds the body's ability to metabolize it, excess alcohol __________.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

becomes accumulated in the blood

Explanation:

The processing of alcohol is constant in every individual. The rate at which alcohol stays in someone's body is determined by how much of it is consumed.

Alcohol enters the digestive system once ingested and travels to the stomach and small intestines. The amount of alcohol absorbed in the small intestine enters directly to the bloodstream. Once in the blood, alcohol is circulated with it. The liver is responsible for the metabolic elimination of most (about 95%) of ingested alcohol from the body. If an individual consumes more than this, the system becomes saturated, and the additional alcohol will accumulate in the blood and other tissues until it can be metabolized. If this happens frequently or too fast, damage to the brain and tissues of the body can occur.

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) depends on the amount of alcohol consumed and the rate at which the individual's body metabolizes alcohol. Because the metabolism of alcohol by the body is constant, taking in alcohol at a rate higher than the rate of metabolizing it results in a cumulative effect and increase in the blood alcohol concentration.

It is important to note that, the more one drinks the longer alcohol stays in the system.
