Why is the concentration of oxygen in the body cells lower than the concentration of oxygen in the alveolus?

Biology
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

i think the answer should be b.

the alveolus is the site of exchange of gases (carbon dioxide and oxygen) between the body cells and the alveolar air. diffusion requires a concentration gradient, which basically means that there has to be a difference in concentration of the substance (in this case it's oxygen) between the 2 areas (in this case it's the body cells and the alveolar air) hence, there is more oxygen in the alveolar air than the body cells (this difference in concentration is what allows diffusion of oxygen from a region of HIGHER to LOWER concentration!) this allows oxygen to diffuse from alveolus to body cells, giving your body the oxygen it needs!

btw keep in mind that i am by no means an expert in biology (because im still a student), but b is the most logical answer to me. good luck!

Veronika [31]

The correct option is B

Acetylcholine released into the junction between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle binds to a sodium/potassium channel and opens it. This is an example of the ligand-gated channel.

The acetylcholine receptors are cation-selective members of the ligand-gated ion channels which are pentameric and also are oligomeric protein assemblies that process to convert a chemical signal through the postsynaptic membrane into an ion flux.

Acetylcholine opens the sodium and potassium channels of a cell which makes the concentrations of these two ions inside and outside stabilize and depolarize the membrane of the cell.

This depolarization will result in the formation of nerve impulses. The receptors in muscle fibers recognize acetylcholine as a sign of muscle contraction from neuron to muscle.

Therefore, acetylcholine receptors are actually pentameric ligand-gated ion channels but muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are coupled membrane proteins of seven helix G-proteins.

Genetic disorders can result when chromatids fail to separate properly. During which phase is this problem most likely to occur?
Digiron [165]
During C. M phase , this would most likely occur because during Mitosis it is the physical separation of DNA , where chromatids are being split in half and so it might be possible that a chromatid might not have been split in half perfectly, resulting in genetic disorders.
