Considering the lungs are spongy tissue with air sacs, why would a difference in pressure cause the lungs to rupture? What is as

Answer:

When you ascend, water pressure decreases while the air in your lungs increases. Your lungs will overstretch and rupture. Asphyxiation is the deprivation of oxygen resulting in unconsciousness or death.

Explanation:

It usually happens to scuba drivers. Pressure changes will cause you injuries when you go down the water and then you go up. When you descend, water pressure increases while the air in your lungs decreases. When you ascend, water pressure decreases while the air in your lungs increases. Your lungs will overstretch and rupture. Asphyxiation is the deprivation of oxygen resulting in unconsciousness or death.

Salsk061 [2.6K]
The chemical reactions in the cell would not happen as fast and would require more energy to catalyze the reaction between the two reactants.

Chemistry/ Example: Take breathing for example, when you breath you breath out carbon dioxide. The CO2 can't just leave like that and only 10% binds to hemoglobin. The rest turns into carbonic acid in your blood and its plasma. However, the acid is unstable, so it turns into bicarbonate and a dissociated proton (H). You have carbonic anhydrase that converts the two so you can breath out CO2; the carbonic acid separates into H2O and CO2. This process would take a LONG time without the enzyme-- CO2 build up, even minimal amounts it lethal.

The cell theory eventually replaced the concept of spontaneous generation as a result of what experimental evidence?
Arisa [49]

<u>Answer:-</u> <em>Option C </em>- evidence that microorganisms cannot grow in boiled broth when new organisms were not allowed to enter.

<u>Explanation:-</u>

  • <em>Theory of spontaneous generation</em> stated that the living organisms can be created from non living matter. However, this theory was disapproved and replaced by the <em>cell theory</em> which stated that all living organisms are created from cells and new cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • There were several experiments conducted by various scientists to disapprove the theory of spontaneous generation however, the experiment that was most successful to do so was the one conducted by <em>Louis Pasteur</em> in 1859.
  • <em><u>Description of the experiment:-</u></em>

-In his experiment, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask (it was known that boiling the broth kills the micro organisms) and then heated the neck of the flask to bend into a S- shape.

The purpose of the S shaped neck was to allow the air to enter into the flask but not the micro-organisms as the micro organisms will settle by gravity in the neck and not reach into the flask.

<em>observations of the experiment</em> :-

1. Pasteur observed that even though the air entered the flask no micro organisms were growing in the flask.

2. Further,when he tilted the flask so that the broth came in contact with the part of the neck where the air borne microorganisms could have settled he was able to observe microbial growth in the flask.

These observations laid the theory of spontaneous generation to rest and proved that <em>organisms can only grow in the presence of pre-existing cells </em>which in this case were the microorganisms.
