1 answer:
SashulF [63]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

they give the lungs a really big surface area. they have moist, thin walls (just one cell thick) they have a lot of tiny blood vessels called capillaries.

The walls of the alveoli are only one cell thick. This makes the exchange surface very thin - shortening the diffusion distance across which gases have to move. Each alveolus is surrounded by blood capillaries which ensure a good blood supply.Adaptations of the alveoli:

Thin walls - alveolar walls are one cell thick providing gases with a short diffusion distance. Moist walls - gases dissolve in the moisture helping them to pass across the gas exchange surface. Permeable walls - allow gases to pass through.

A food that supplies two grams each of fat, carbohydrate and protein delivers ___ total calories.
shtirl [24]
<span>The commonly accepted values is 4 Calories per gram of protein and carbohydrate and 9 Calories per gram of fat. Since we have 2 grams of each, a little simple math will do: 2 g * 4 Cal/g + 2 g * 4 Cal/g + 2 g *9 Cal/g = 8 Cal + 8 Cal + 18 Cal = 34 Cal</span>

A group of student set up an experiment to test the effects of exercise on the rate of cellular respiration. During the experime
Rzqust [24]

The answer would be B:The data suggests that exercise increases the rate of cellular respiration because more carbon dioxide was produced.


The data has a consistently show that the time needed to change BTB color in after exercise group is much shorter(less than half) compared to before exercise group. If the time needed longer, this show that the amount carbon dioxide removed from the lungs is much higher. The reaction that provide energy for the muscle will produce carbon dioxide as side product in cellular respiration.
