Answer:
the oxygen concentration decreases only when the air reaches the alveoli, which are the terminal branches of the respiratory system
Explanation:
The human respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen-rich air, and they expelling oxygen-poor air. The respiratory system consists of lungs, which helps in the exchange of gases: Oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The statement ''the oxygen concentration decreases only when the air reaches the alveoli, which are the terminal branches of the respiratory system'' explains the change in oxygen concentration of the inspired air
Answer:
The reduction of friction between the parietal and visceral surfaces of an internal cavity is the function of serous fluid.
Explanation:
Between the parietal layer and visceral layer of an internal cavity there is serous fluid that reduces the friction between these two surfaces and allows an easier movement of the parietal and visceral layers. The serous fluid is produced by serous glands that are in the parietal and visceral membrane.
Answer: a. Excesses are eliminated from the kidneys.
Explanation:
A fat-soluble vitamin can be dissolved in fats and oils. They are absorbed along with fats in the diet from the intestinal lumen using the same mechanisms used for absorption of lipids. Upon absorption, <u>these vitamins enter the lymph vessels</u> before making they go into the bloodstream. In most cases, fat-soluble vitamins must be coupled with a protein in order to be transported through the organism. <u>This means they are solubilized and transported by carrier proteins </u>to exert their actions.
By last, since fat-soluble vitamins can not be dissolved in water,<u> they are not readily excreted. So they can accumulate in fatty tissues</u> to toxic levels if taken in excess.
Answer:
Example of the Epistasis in plants is observed in the "summer squash".
Explanation:
Epistasis refers to a gene interaction in which one gene is masked by the other gene and affect the phenotype. The gene which masks the other gene is known as the epistatic gene and the gene which is being masked is known as the hypostatic gene.
The epistasis gene effect is observed in which more than one gene controls the same phenotype.
The example can be observed in the summer squash fruits in which more than one gene controls the color of the fruit.
The summer squash can be controlled by the white allele (W), Yellow allele (G) and the green by the recessive form of the w and g. If the W gene is present than it masks the other allele and thus white colour becomes dominant and is considered the case of the dominant epistasis.
