c. Mucus-secreting cells are found throughout the structures of the conducting and respiratory zone.

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.

PLZ HELP ME Question 3
Flauer [41]

Answer:

It's impossible to predict the phenotype of the offspring by only observing the parents because DNA from their grandparents can affect the offspring as well.

Explanation:

DNA is combined from the parents to create offspring. When that offspring reproduces their children not only possess DNA from their parents but from their grandparents as well. Mixing together two separate DNA's from two different family trees can result in rare genetic mutations which results in the offspring looking different from their parents but showing resemblance to their grandparents. This is why you have to look at the phenotypes of more then just the two parents because there are more possibilities, including what their grandparents looked like.

The Food and Drug Administration has legal oversight over most food products and permits some health claims on food labels. The
Igoryamba

Answer:

  1. Reduced risk of neural tube defects- <u>diet adequate in synthetic form of folate </u>
  2. Reduced risk of hypertension and stroke- <u>diet low in sodium and high in potassium </u>
  3. Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease- <u>fatty acids from oils present in fish </u>
  4. Reduced risk of some types of cancer- <u>diet rich in fiber</u>

Explanation:

As you may already know, the adequate intake of certain nutrients is very beneficial to our body and to improve and maintain our health. That's because these nutrients act in the construction of essential molecules to keep our body functioning in a healthy and adequate way. Among the numerous nutrients necessary for our health, we can mention that the adequate intake of folate has the ability to reduce the creation of possible defects in the neural tube, while a diet rich in potassium can reduce the risks of hypertension, especially if accompanied by a low sodium diet. Following this same reasoning, a diet rich in fiber can reduce the risk of cancer, in addition to promoting good bowel function. Last but not least, a diet rich in fatty acids from fish can reduce cardiovascular disease.
