Answer:

This is the site of gaseous exchange

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange is the mechanism by which oxygen is substituted for CO₂ in the body. CO₂ laden blood is carried to the alveoli, which is wrapped with numerous capillary beds and with walls that are thin. When a person inhales, the difference in the partial pressure of the various gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) causes them t move down their concentration gradients, with CO₂ diffusion into the lungs from red blood cells, and oxygen binding to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells, after which they are carried to all body tissues for cellular respiration. During exhalation, the CO₂ in the lungs is expelled to the exterior and the process repeats.

How do the two types of endoplasmic reticulum differ?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Hi!

The two types of endoplasmic reticulum are:

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum RER

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum SER

The major difference between the two is the presence of ribosomes. The membrane of rough endoplasmic reticulum is bound by ribosomes, whereas the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not bound by ribosomes.

Another difference lies in their function. RER is a storage house for proteins and is where the proteins are manufactured whereas SER is known for storing lipids and proteins both.

Most of the species that we use as food do not look like their ancestral species anymore. How have humans achieved that?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Through genetic modification/engineering

Explanation:

<em>Most of the species that we use as food do not look like their ancestral species anymore because humans have genetically modified them to suit their desires.</em>

Through genetic engineering, humans have been able to select desirable characteristics or attribute from one organism and transfer it to another organism of similar species that already has some desirable attributes. Thus, the latter organism becomes genetically modified and looks different from its ancestors just to suit the taste of man.
