kkurt [141]

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

A snapping turtle has 52 chromosomes which statement correctly compares the number of chromosomes in a body so with that in a se
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A). the body cell has 2n; the sex cell has 1n.

B). the body cell has 26; the sex cell has two.

C). the body cell has 1n; the sex cell has 2n.

D). the body cell has 24; the sex cell has 26

The answer is A

Explanation:

According to the question, the snapping turtle possesses 52 chromosomes in its cell. This means that the chromosomal number of its body cell is 52. However, the turtle, which reproduces sexually will produce gametes or sex cells via meiosis. Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have a reduced number of chromosomes (by half).

Based on this, the diploid cells (2n) of the turtle with chromosome number 52 will undergo meiotic division to produce haploid gametes or sex cells (n) with chromosome number 26.

N.B: Diploid (2n) means two complete sets of chromosomes while haploid (1n) means one complete set of chromosome.

The body cell of the turtle contains two set of chromosomes received from each parent, hence, making it Diploid (2n). However, meiosis will reduce the chromosome number to one set in each gamete i.e. haploid (n).

According to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges for protein, an individual should consume between ______ and _____
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

50 grams and 175 grams

Explanation

Acceptable macronutrient distribution range are predetermined ranges of intake of a specific macronutrient such as Proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

It was developed to promote healthy diet in the society.

According to the AMDR, the ranges of proteins should be 10-35 percent of the calories.

Therefore;

10/100×2000=200          

But 1g contains 4 kilocalories of protein so;

200kCal/4kcal=<u>50 grams</u>

<u>35/100×2000=700 kcal of protein so; </u>

<u>700kcal÷4kcal= 175 grams  </u>
