_______ are the small sacs that are the site of gas exchange in the lungs. In addition to being an airway, the _______ is the lo

cation of the human vocal cords. Cilia in cells along the trachea and nasal passages secrete _______ which traps dirt and particles from the air. Air is only approximately 21% oxygen. The majority of air is ______. The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the _______, causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing. Explain the process of breathing. Begin with inhalation and describe the route that the air takes to the lungs, and what happens when the air reaches the lungs. Include in your description the terms: mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and capillaries

1. D

2. C

3. B

4. A

5. Alveoli

6. larynx

7. mucus

8. nitrogen

9. diaphragm

10. Air enters the body through the mouth or nose and passes through the pharynx and larynx. Then it travels down the trachea and branches through the bronchi into the two lungs. In the lungs, small alveoli are the site of gas exchange where carbon dioxide diffuses into the lungs for exhalation, while oxygen from the air diffuses into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli to be pumped throughout the body.

Which statement about the immune system is false?
skelet666 [1.2K]
The correct option is D. This is because, mucus, inflammation and fever perform different functions in the immune system.The mucus membrane produces mucus which traps microbes. Inflammation refers to a localized tissue response which occurs when a tissue is damaged. Fever inhibits bacterial growth and speed up the rate of healing of a damaged tissue.

How can scientists determine the relative age of the fossil?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Radiometric dating methods

Explanation:

Geologists usually use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon to find the age of fossils.

Prokaryotic DNA is enclosed within a nucleus, while eukaryotic DNA is not.<br>O True<br>O False​
blagie [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.

This means their DNA is not enclosed in a nucleus and instead is in the cytoplasm.

On the other hand, eukaryotes have nuclei, so their DNA is enclosed within a nucleus.

So, this statement is false.

What is the driving force for the filtration of blood by the renal corpuscle?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule.

Explanation:

The renal corpuscle is composed of the capillary glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule that covers it, there is a space inside the capsule, Bowman's space, where the filtered liquid from the glomerulus passes. The glomerular pressure must be higher than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule, so in that way it forces the filtration and tends to expel fluid from the glomeruli, allowing the passage of water, small molecules of solute and ions.

Silk is composed of β sheets whose polypeptide chains consist of the repeating sequence of Gly-Ser-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ala. Based on thi
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d.a nonpolar side chain.

Explanation:

  • Protein can be defined as one of the factors which determine the structure as well as the function of a cell.
  • Proteins are composed of polymeric chains of polypeptides, which are made up of amino acid monomers linked to each other by peptide bonds.
  • Amino acids can be broadly categorised into non-polar and polar based on the nature of the side chain.
  • The non-polar amino acids possess hydrocarbon side-chains which are hydrophobic in nature, so they tend to avoid interaction with water molecules and usually remain in the protein interior. They are uncharged and cannot form any hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
  • The polar amino acids possess charged or polar side-chains which are hydrophilic in nature, so they tend to undergo interaction with water molecules and usually remain on the protein surface. They can form hydrogen bonds with molecules of water.
  • Beta sheets can be defined a secondary structure of the protein in which the polypeptide sequence forms horizontal strands which are linked to each other by loops. Each strand interact with each other by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the C=O group of one peptide (amide) bond in one strand with the N-H group of another peptide (amide) bond in another strand.
  • Apart from these bonds, the non-polar side chains of each amino acid in one strand forms hydrophobic or Van der Waals interactions with the non-polar side chains of each amino acid in the other strand. The polar or charged  side chains of the amino acids on each strand form either hydrogen bonds with water molecules or with oppositely charged side chains.
  • In the given question, glycine and alanine are non-polar amino acids but serine is a polar amino acid. The side-chains of the non-polar amino acids will tend to face towards the interior of the beta sheet thereby forming hydrophobic interactions with each other, while the serine will tend to face the exterior of the beta sheet so that it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
  • As the number of non-polar amino acids is far more than polar amino acids so the effect of non-polar amino acids will prevail in the beta-sheet.
