Answer:

D

Explanation:

High altitude is a challenge for the human body due to the progressive reduction in barometric pressure leading to series of important physiologic responses that enable individuals to adapt and secure the oxygen supply to tissues. Reduction in oxygen pressure causes physiological responses in body which include increase in hematocrit. Also, the development of systemic hypertension is influenced by high altitude due to relative low oxygen which has significant consequences on the cardiovascular system and on blood pressure regulation. The lung response to acute altitude exposure also includes hyperventilation which aims at achieving adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues.

Therefore, regular oxygen uptake, greater ventilation, more basic hypoxic ventilation, larger lung volumes, greater diffusing capacities and increased blood pressure are typical of Jill as he adapts to the higher altitude after a month.

How did fossil<br> fuels form, and how<br> are they obtained<br> and used?
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are important energy sources for our every day activities.

  Formation of fossil fuels

Fossil fuels forms from the accumulation and burial of organisms in a basin of deposition. Instead of the organisms decaying, they preserve their carbon content. To be worthy of becoming fossil fuels, organisms must be buried in an environment where there is little to no oxygen to fast-track decomposition of the buried organic matter. Increase in temperature and pressure causes the organic matter to transform into fossil fuels.

How are they obtained

First, different fossil fuels have their extraction techniques because they occur in different physical state of matter.

For the solids e.g coal: exploration is carried out first and if a prospect is delineated, mining engineers design the best way to extract the coal from nature. Coal is usually found laid in sedimentary beds in nature. Top layers of sediments can be removed to extract the coal.

For fluids such as crude oil and natural gas, after a prospect is identified, a rig is usually constructed to extract the fluid and gas. The natural pressure allows for the fluids the rise within the drill used in extraction.

How are they used

Coal and gas are used to power electrical generating plants. They are used to heat steams which drives turbines and produce electricity.

Natural gas is used as a domestic fuel for cooking and so also coal.

When crude is processed a lot of product is obtained. Gasoline is used to power most internal combustion engines. Some chemicals useful for manufacturing plastics, drugs e.t.c are also derived from the processed crude.

Xelga [282]
One of the main differences between butter and canola oil is that are room temperature one is a solid and the other is a liquid. This change in phase is due to the bonding between carbon bonds, the more double bonds that there are present the higher the melting point and the fluidity changes. Based on this the correct answer is C=C is found in canola oil while more C-C bonds are found in butter, making option 2 (C=C) the correct answer. In addition option 3 (C=H) can be ignored since hydrogen can only make single bonds. hope this helps:)

Water molecules are ____________ due to _________bonding. This property helps water molecules to stick to each other and allows
Gekata [30.6K]
Water molecules are COHESIVE due to HYDROGEN bonding. This property of water allows the individual molecules to stick to each other and allows for movement of water from roots to leaves. 

The correct answer is B. 
Water has certain qualities that allows it to be incorporated into the bodies of living organisms. Water forms hydrogen bonds because it is a polar molecule. The formation of these bonds leads to the cohesive nature of the substance making it suitable as a biological solvent.
