Answer:

The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs; in mammals and reptiles these are called alveoli, and in birds they are known as atria. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration.

Answer:

The phenomenon seen by the students is Osmosis.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement of molecules occurs in the body cells. When the concentration of molecules is higher outside the cell than the inside, the molecules goes inside the cell through semi-permeable membrane.

<h2>Endothermic Process</h2>

Explanation:

An example of endothermic process is :

Heat is needed for water to boil.

Endothermic process can be defined as a process in which heat energy is absorbed from the surrounding that bring about changes in the molecular level like breaking chemical bonds, inter-molecular force of attraction etc.

Boiling of water is an endothermic process because during this process water absorbs heat , its kinetic energy increases and then it boils.

hjlf

The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.
