Biology

Answer:

In animals, the process of respiration is aerobic respiration, exchange of gases takes place ( carbon dioxide leaving the cell, oxygen entering)

Single cellular organisms can exchange gases directly across their cell membrane through the process o diffusion.

Large animals cannot maintain gas exchange by diffusion across their outer surface. A respiratory surface is covered with thin, moist epithelial cells that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange. Those gases can only cross cell membranes when they are dissolved in water or an aqueous solution, thus respiratory surfaces must be moist.

PLEASE HELP ME AND EXPLAIN!!!<br>THANK U FOR THE HELP!!!

An example of a false negative is taking an HIV test and having the test come back negative to say the patient is clean, but in reality they have HIV. Another example of a false negative is a woman taking a pregnancy test saying "not pregnant" (i.e. test is negative), but she actually is pregnant. Between those two examples, it is better to have a false negative pregnancy test because it is non life threatening.

A false positive example would be getting bad news you have cancer, when you actually don't have cancer. Another false positive example is a test saying you have a cold virus, when in actuality you don't. The first example mentioned would have the patient likely go through intense chemo treatments which would greatly affect their livelihood. The second example is a more harmless false positive as it would involve at most a flu shot if anything.
