Answer:

Food is much harder to find the farther up the food chain you go. Toxins and chemicals accumulate in the bodies of everything that was eaten by the food that you eat. Toxins and chemicals bind to the tissue of larger animals better than smaller ones.

36. What metabolic pathway is depicted below?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration or fermentation

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway shown in the question is the summary of anaerobic respiration (fermentation) during which pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde, followed by the formation of alcohol (ethanol), along with the release of NADH and NAD molecules. This mechanism occurs in the absence of oxygen and is thus used by organisms to generate energy (ATP) molecules.

A man who smokes heavily has developed lung cancer. The tobacco smoke has caused mutations in some of the cells in his lungs, ma
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children.

Explanation:

  • The inheritance of genes from the parents to the offspring is mediated by the germinal cells or sex cells or gametes of the parents.
  • The genetic material present in the somatic cells of the parents are not transmitted to the offspring.
  • In the given case, the man who develops lung cancer generates some tobacco smoke induced mutations in some of the cells of his lungs.
  • The cells of the lungs are type up of somatic cells. Hence, any mutations in the genome of these cells will never be transmitted to the offspring.
  • Therefore, the children of the man will never become prone to develop lung cancer due to development of mutations in the lung cells of the man.
  • However, if the man has inherited any mutation from his parents which can increase the risk of development of lung cancer, then these mutations will be present in his germinal cells and also in some of his gametes.
  • Now, if a child is born due to the fusion of the the maternal gamete with one of these mutated paternal gametes, there is an increased chance of developing lung cancer in the child, irrespective of the fact whether he is a smoker or a non-smoker.

What part of the respiratory tract is considered the respiratory zone?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D. Alveoli

Explanation:

Functionally, the respiratory system is separated into a conducting zone and respiratory zone:

Conducting zone consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. These structures form a continuous passageway for air to move in and out of the lungs.

Respiratory zone is found deep inside the lungs and is made up of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. These thin-walled structures allow inhaled oxygen (O2) to diffuse into the lung capillaries in exchange for carbon dioxide (CO2).

The respiratory zone begins where the terminal bronchioles join a respiratory bronchiole, the smallest type of bronchiole, which then leads to an alveolar duct, opening into a cluster of alveoli.
