Define the term excretion.

Biology
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Excretion is a process in which metabolic waste is eliminated from an organism. In vertebrates this is primarily carried out by the lungs, kidneys, and skin.

Carbon dioxide

The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called bile. This helps carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down, balances, and creates the nutrients and also metabolizes drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body or that are nontoxic.

Serjik [45]

Answer No 1)

Increasing temperatures in the atmosphere have caused the temperature of the oceans to increase leading to more powerful tropical storms.

Approximately 25 percent of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is absorbed in the oceans.

Waste water treatment is critical to removing pollutants from contaminated water by using physical, chemical, or biological processes.

Water pollution can come from the decomposition of dead organic matter or animal waste in waterways.

Water pollution increases the salinity and slows down major ocean <u><em>currents</em></u> that are responsible for regulating Earth's climate.

Explanation:

The devastating effects of global warming effects both the land and the aquatic biomes.

The excess carbon dioxide produced as a result of global warming is absorbed by the oceans. This imposes a serious threat on the biodiversity of the aquatic life.  The dead organism also produce pollution when they degrade in the oceans.

It is essential that before ocean water is used for any kind of consumption, the water be effectively treated to remove all kinds of toxicity from it.

Answer 2)

Water quality can be improved through conservation by :

a) using less amount of water for house-hold purposes: In our daily lives, humans use extra amounts of water fro house- hold activities such as while washing clothes or washing dishes. It should be ensured that we use a reasonable amount of water for every house-hold activity.

b) Fix the leakages: Majority of the houses in a society will not be concerned about a minor water leakage from taps, pipes etc. But it is essential to conserve every drop of water and these leakages need to be fixed. The more water we conserve, the more improved quality water will be available.

Based on the anatomical and physiological differences between an infant and an​ adult, which finding would suggest respiratory d
frosja888 [35]

Answer: Excessive movements of the walls of the  abdomen

Basically babies belly breathe, that is they undergo abdominal pattern of respiration( instead of the abdomino- thoracic pattern in  adult), through their abdomen.

<u>This is because,  their thoracic walls are not fully functional to undergo  the normal adult mechanisms  of breathing</u>.

<u>The ribs are short in length due to incomplete ossification. They curve out wards, at low angle, their sternum, is shaped horizontally.</u>

These features reduce the activities   of the inter coastal muscles and the thoracic cage  in the mechanism of  infants breathing,compare to the long ribs, obliquely shaped rib cage,  with lower  sternum  of  adult which  permit the  abdominal-thoracic  breathing pattern.

Therefore ,when the diaphragm distends during breathing ,its movement pushes the organs of the abdomen down; because infants have rapid respiratory  rates, the distends created  rapid  expansion and contraction of the walls of the abdomen to gain enough abdominal pressure.

This together with the movement of  organs of the abdomen   from  the  pathways of diaphragm  created the  excessive  movements of the abdominal walls. This rapid abdominal wall movements creates discomfort and distress for the infant during this mechanisms.
