Answer:

The correct statements are: A and D.

Explanation:

a. Both the alveolar wall and capillary wall contribute to the respiratory membrane.

The respiratory membrane is a more or less homogeneous surface composed of a set of structures that gases must cross between the alveolus and the pulmonary capillary. When blood reaches the lungs it has a high CO2 content and a low O2 content. O2 passes by diffusion through the alveolar walls and capillaries into the blood. There it is transported by hemoglobin, which will take it to the cells of the body where, by the same diffusion process, it will pass inside them for later use.

d. The alveoli have a simple squamous epithelium to allow for diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the respiratory membrane.

The function of the lungs is to carry out the gas exchange with the blood, for this the alveoli are in close contact with the capillaries. The simple flat squamous epithelium lines the alveoli of the lungs, they are flattened and irregular cells in a single cell layer that allow the easy diffusion of water, gases and other substances. In the alveoli there is the passage of oxygen from the air to the blood and the passage of carbon dioxide from the blood to the air.

How do you think the Law of Universal Gravitation State connects why apples fall down and planets circle in orbit?
Leviafan [203]
Apples are drawn to a massive object, like the earth, and fall down under a gravitational constant. On the other hand, planets revolve around a more massive object under the same premise. It’s the same idea, just one follows a linear path, and the other has a uniform circular motion path because other forces are acting on it. In other words, the planets ARE still falling, but the sun is also pulled by them so they just keep dancing.

3. Use the following question in a sentence. DO NOT simply give the
Drupady [299]

Carbon dioxide is a colorless and non-flammable gas at normal temperature and pressure. Although much less abundant than nitrogen and oxygen in Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide is an important constituent of our planet's air. A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is an acidic colorless gas with a density about 53% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide molecules consist of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas.

Recall the definition of an acid that you learned in chemistry. Explain how the reaction below illustrates the acidic properties
qwelly [4]

The answer is; donation of a proton to water

Acids are proton donors. As viewed in the equation, the lactic acid partially dissociates in the water to form a conjugate base and hydronium ions. This is a property of an acid. The water acts as a base is donated a hydrogen ion be the lactic acid to form a conjugate acid H3O+.
