<u>Answer:</u>
- few nutrients
- high pressure
- low temperatures
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Few nutrients: open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.
2. High pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.
3. Ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface.
4. Varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.
5. Low temperatures: the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°C to an average of 17°C.
Answer:
The alveolar walls and capillary walls share a membrane. That's how close they're getting. This allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to readily pass from the respiratory system to the circulation. Oxygen molecules bind to red blood cells as they return to the heart.
Answer:
hope it helps
Explanation:
The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.
The continental drift affects living organisms in that it causes changes in climates which puts selective pressure on organisms, causes changes in habitats, including when large amounts of shallow marine habitat were lost in the formation of Pangea. Additionally continental drift may cause an increase or decrease in competition among different species and also it happens so slowly that it does not affect living organisms
Human Immunodeficiency Virus -- this is HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Flu viruses. There are lots of different strains of flu virus, which is why new vaccines have to be made every year.
Cold virus. The common cold is caused by a virus.
