Biology

Anestetic [448]3 years ago
6 0
The Major function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli, the layers of the cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other, the barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron in thickness. Oxygen diffuses quickly through the air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.

What are two roles prokaryotes play in the cycling of elements in an ecosystem
Illusion [34]
Prokaryotes have a significant role in decomposition of organic matter, bringing back key nutrients into the trophic network. By decomposing dead plant or animal parts, they enable the circulation of elements like phosphorus and sodium.
On the other hand, specialized bacteria have a role in transforming nitrogen compounds in the soil, converting them into chemical forms that are suitable for other organisms to use.
