Explanation:

One interesting thing about America’s 19th-century Pacific expansion is that it happened during, and even before, its more famous western settlement. American missionaries and sugar planters were in Hawaii in the 1820s, a generation before the California Gold Rush or Mormon Trek to Utah. The reason is that, while oceans can be deadly in strong winds, water is normally easier to traverse than land — even the long and torturous pre-Panama Canal sea route around Cape Horn from the East Coast to the Pacific. By 1890, when the Census Bureau declared the western frontier closed, the U.S. had already laid claim to territory in the Pacific. By 1902, America controlled Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines, Guam, Midway Island, part of Samoa and several smaller islands in the Pacific (e.g. Palmyra Atoll and Wake, Jarvis, Howland & Baker Islands). Since its revolution and initiation of the Old China Trade routes starting in 1783, the U.S. coveted trading with Asians the way it had traditionally with Europeans. In the 1850s, Commodore Matthew Perry sailed the U.S. Navy to China and Japan to increase trade. By the turn of the 20th century, America was digging a canal shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific and was in combat defending its interests in Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In this chapter, we’ll cover why and how America stepped out onto this world stage

What effect does the addition of surfactant have on the airflow? How well did the results compare with your prediction?

MissTica

Answer:

Surfactant increases airflow. It has this effect on airflow because it reduces resistance to lung inflation. Airflow increased as predicted.

Explanation:

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins secreted by the Type II alveolar cells. The major component of surfactant, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), is an amphiphatic phospholipid. The main function of the pulmonary surfactant is to reduce the surface tension at the air/liquid interface in the lungs by forming lining layer between the aqueous airway liquid and the inspired air. prevents alveolar and airway collapse at end-expiration and thus allows cyclic ventilation of the lungs. It decreases surface tension in the alveoli making it easier for the alveoli to increase surface area for gas exchange. By lowering alveolar surface tension, pulmonary surfactant provides two important benefits:

(1) it increases pulmonary compliance, reducing the work of inflating the lungs; and

(2) it reduces the lungs’ tendency to recoil, so they do not collapse as readily.

Answer:

A trade association is the kind of international organization that would most benefit this nation.

Explanation:

Small nations generally do not have large economic output or global supremacy in the production of any specific or specific service. Therefore, its presence and importance in world markets is not so important, and in case it needs to compete with larger nations, it cannot do it by its own means because it does not have the necessary economic volume to affirm its presence in the market.

Therefore, to help these nations stabilize economically and commercially, the largest and most dominant nations often enter into trade agreements with them to help them progress.
