Answer:

Explanation:

When the left side of the heart (left ventricle) starts to fail, fluid collects in the lungs (edema). This extra fluid in the lungs (pulmonary congestion) makes it more difficult for the airways to expand as a person inhales. Breathing becomes more difficult and the person may feel short of breath, particularly with activity or when lying down.

When the right side of the heart (right ventricle) starts to fail, fluid begins to collect in the feet and lower legs. Puffy leg swelling (edema) is a sign of right heart failure, especially if the edema is pitting edema. With pitting edema, a finger pressed on the swollen leg leaves an imprint. Non-pitting edema is not caused by heart failure.

Ii) Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
Damm [24]

Answer:

(Didn't list features so might be wrong)

distance away from organism to energy source(sun)

the amount of carbon dioxide

the amount of water

the concentration of energy (example; if you were conducting a lab and you use light bulbs as a energy source, higher wattage would be better then lower wattage.)

all of these need to be proportion to each other if you have too much of one thing and not even of the other then the organism will not preform photosynthesis efficiently.
