In what ways are mammalian lungs adapted for their fuction?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: The lungs are well supplied with blood due to lots of capillaries covering the alveoli, constantly maintaining a large diffusion gradient, air is able to pass easily down this gradient due to the alveoli having very thin walls (one cell thick).

The alveoli are adapted to make gas exchange in lungs happen easily and efficiently. Here are some features of the alveoli that allow this: they give the lungs a really big surface area. they have moist, thin walls (just one cell thick)

Hope this helps......... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! :D

What might occur when mitosis is not stopped or occurs quickly due to the presence of cancer.

leva [86]

In a cell, there are several parts of it that are there to stop this from happening. Cancerous cells do not have the genetic code to stop growing and reproducing. A regular cell will actually destroy itself it there is a mutation. If it does not get destroyed, it could potentially be tumorous, then it could eventually be cancerous.

Answer:

Complete questions include: Answer Bank: Guanine nucleotides, uridine nucleotides, adenine nucleotides, cytosine nucleotides.

Explanation:

Glycine Auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides (Purine nucleotides)

Glutamine auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides (purine nucleotides)

Aspartate auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides, uridine nucleotides, adenine nucleotides, cytosine nucleotides Both purine and pyrimidine nucleotides)

The amino acids glutamine, glycine, and aspartate provide all the nitrogen atoms of purines in a two ring-closure steps to form the purine nucleus. Pyrimidines are synthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate.
