Reptile [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Alveoli are the numerous small air sacs attached to the bronchiole in the lungs and in close contact with blood vessels for gas exchange essential for the human respiratory system for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Adaptations of the alveoli:

- Alveoli are folded in a shape that helps in increase their surface area to volume ratio that allows diffusion easily.

- Alveolar walls and blood-carrying vessels are one cell thick helps in providing gases exchange with a short diffusion distance.

- The lining of the alveoli walls are moist that helps in dissolving gases.

- The walls of alveoli are permeable walls - allow gases to pass through.

- closer to blood supply especially capillaries to allow easy movement or diffusion of gases to and from the blood cells.

What are 2 examples of what happens when scientist do not have a standard system of measurement of the scientific community?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The standard system of measurement is what is popularly referred to as SI unit (or international system of units). For example, the SI unit for length is basically in meters (m), which is convertible to millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm) or even kilometer (km).

If there is no standard system of measurement,

1) Scientists will not be able to compare data as every scientist will use a unit that suits him/herself which might make data incomparable as some units might be difficult to convert to other units or there conversion methods might even be debatable.

2) There might be a general lack of understanding of the research work done by a scientist/scientists in the scientific community. This is because the standard system of measurement affords scientists to communicate properly with the same or convertible units and based on 1. above, if scientists use any unit that isn't agreed upon, different/unknown/debatable units might make understanding of research works incomprehensible.
