There are more than 7,000 harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 250 are known to be harmful. Some of these chemicals are:

Nicotine
Formaldehyde
Lead
Arsenic
Ammonia
Radioactive elements such as Polonium-210
Benzene

How some of those chemicals affect the body:

Nicotine is highly addictive and can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart and a narrowing of the arteries (vessels that carry blood).

Symptoms for formaldehyde are watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing; nausea; and skin irritation

High levels of lead may cause anemia, weakness, and kidney and brain damage. Very high lead exposure can cause death.

Arsenic poisoning occurs over a brief period of time, symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal pain, encephalopathy, and watery diarrhea that contains blood. Long-term exposure can result in thickening of the skin, darker skin, abdominal pain, diarrhea, heart disease, numbness, and cancer.

High concentrations of ammonia in air causes immediate burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract and can result in blindness, lung damage or death.

What the best examples of fungi reproduction?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Fungi reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing spores. Fragments of hyphae can grow new colonies. Mycelial fragmentation occurs when a fungal mycelium separates into pieces with each component growing into a separate mycelium. Somatic cells in yeast form buds.

Vinvika [58]

True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.
