Out of the following given choices;
a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the
lungs to the blood
b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand
during inhalation
c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more
oxygen to be inhaled
d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the
efficient gas exchange
The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange.
Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.
Explanation:
mice can bite the elephant's trunk and/or feet and they can get the elephants a surprise.
Plutchik suggested we have 8 primary emotions that combine to form secondary emotions. Putchik identified ten postulates on which his evolutionary theory of emotions is based. Plutchik's wheel of emotion illustrates the relationships between his primary emotions and other related emotions. The eight basic emotions are joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, anticipation, anger, and disgust.
Answer:
B. DR, Dr, Rd, dr
Explanation:
This question involves two genes. Alleles D and R are dominant over alleles d and r. These two genes obey the law of independent assortment as proposed by Gregor Mendel.
Based on the question, a genotype RrDd will produce the following combination of gametes following the process of meiosis:
DR, Dr, dR, dr
Overall, minerals from animal products are better absorbed than those from plant because binders such as fiber are not present to hinder absorption.
