Answer:

Explanation:

Air sacs do not take part in the oxygen exchange, but do greatly enhance its efficiency and allow for the high metabolic rates found in birds. This system also keeps the volume of air in the lung nearly constant.

Answer:

Air sacs do not take part in the actual oxygen exchange, but do greatly enhance its efficiency and allow for the high metabolic rates found in birds. This system also keeps the volume of air in the lung nearly constant.

Explanation:

- Air sacs are found as tiny sacs off the larger breathing tubes (tracheae) of insects, as extensions of the lungs in birds, and as end organs in the lungs of certain other vertebrates. They serve to increase respiratory efficiency by providing a large surface area for gas exchange. See also pulmonary alveolus.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Protein folding and oligomerization

Explanation:

Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) is a vital protein present in humans essential for the translocation of secreted peptides.

BiP is a molecular chaperone which is present in lumen of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) which binds to the new protein and then translocat into the ER. The protein in ER is maintained under subsequent condition and important for protein folding and oligomerization (conversion of a monomer or group of monomer into an oligomer).

Several other functions of BiP are:

ER translocation
ER-associated degradation (ERAD)
UPR pathway

Hence, BiP is a chaperone, it is important for protein folding and oligomerization.
