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.

7. All the recolonizing species are autotrophs. How do they get their energy?
Tresset [83]

7. The correct answer is photosynthesis.

Autotrophs are organisms which produce food for themselves-from simple to complex molecules. In the case of photosynthesis, producers (plants or some algae) use the light energy to produce complex organic compounds (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins).

8. The correct answer is primary consumers.

Since the pioneer species are usually autotrophs because there is no other source of energy except light energy in the early stages of succession (after the eruption). Most likely, the primary consumer will appear next because they feed upon producers.

9. The correct answer is: they are different populations of fish.

Those two different kinds of fish have unique adaptations that enable them to survive and live in distinct environments. It is most likely that molecular changes underlie adaptation and speciation of those fishes.

Describe Bohr's contribution to the atomic model.
icang [17]

Explanation:

Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. The motion of the electrons in the Rutherford model was unstable because, according to classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory, any charged particle moving on a curved path emits electromagnetic radiation; thus, the electrons would lose energy and spiral into the nucleus.

Photosynthesis makes glucose; cellular respiration breaks glucose
shepuryov [24]

Answer:Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

How can evolution impact human health and medicine?.
ddd [48]

The rapid evolution of the human immune system creates the potential for human-specific disease. As a result, human-specific variation in many other human immune genes influences human-specific disease risks.
