Biology
1 answer:
Molodets [167]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There are many ways.

Explanation:

Humans have a combined respiratory and circulatory system, whereas insects do not. In humans, the air is brought in through the mouth/nose, through the windpipe, and into the lungs, the oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream where it can be transported to muscles and organs. However, insects take in air through tiny holes in their thorax and abdomen. These are called spiracles. The oxygen is stored in many dorsal air sacs to be used. Then carbon dioxide is expelled through the spiracles.

• why is gc typically limited to molecules that weigh less than 400 amu?
Anna35 [415]

Gas chromatography (GC) is a method of separating mixed compounds. The separation will depend on each compound's retention time. Compounds with higher molecular weights will elute out slower than those with lower molecular weight. This is due to their difference in boiling points. The larger the structure, the higher the boiling point.

Risks in life are often misaligned with our perceptions of these risks. Describe why we fear flying in a plane, nuclear power pl
asambeis [7]

Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.
