Application of surface tension in respiratory system

Biology
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The force of surface tension in the lungs is so great that without something to reduce the surface tension, the airways would collapse after exhalation, making re-inflation during inhalation much more difficult and less effective. Collapse of the lungs is called alectasis.

Answer the question below.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Large areas of the earth with similar climate and ecosystems are called biomes.

Explanation:

Biomes are defined as areas of the planet with common characteristics, such as animal and plant species, as well as climate, which is why it is called a bioclimatic landscape.

When a relationship is established between an ecosystem —with all its biotic and abiotic components— and the climate in a given area, reference is made to a biome. Consequently, a <u>biome represents large areas of land with similar geographical, climatic and biological conditions</u>.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <u><em>Communities</em></u><em> are groups of individuals with common characteristics. </em>
  • <u><em>Populations</em></u><em> are individuals of the same species that occupy a certain space in a certain time. </em>
  • <u><em>Organisms</em></u><em> are synonymous with living beings.</em>

When vesicles of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (CSR) are incubated with ATP Mg^2+ and Ca^2+, they take up Ca^2+ and reach a
abruzzese [7]

Answer

I added 4 and 5 as an attachment due to time constraint.

Explanation:

1. at a steady state ca2+ taken by vesicle = 40n/mol

enclosed volume of CSR = 5μ/mg

concentration of ca2+ in vesicle =

40*10⁻⁶/5x10⁻⁶

= 0.008

= 8x10⁻⁹mol/L

2. radius of circle =75nM

volume = 150nm

volume of vesicle = 4/3 x pi x r³

= 1.33 x 3.14 x (75x10⁻⁹)³

= 1.77 x 10⁻²¹

when we convert this we get

1.77x10⁻¹⁸L since 1m³ is equal to 100oL

surface area =4x3.14x(75x10⁻⁹)²

= 12.56x5.625⁻¹⁵

= 7.065x10⁻¹⁴m²

this is 7.065x10⁻¹⁰cm²

3. number of vesicle/CSR

= 5x10⁻⁶/1.77x10⁻¹⁸

= 2.824x10¹²

surface are = 2.824x10¹² x7.06x10⁻¹⁰

= 19.95x10²
