What is the charecteristics of an alveolus​

Biology
1 answer:
Alla [95]2 years ago

  • Each alveolus is cup-shaped with very thin walls.
  • It’s surrounded by networks of blood vessels called capillaries that also have thin walls.
  • The oxygen you breathe in diffuses through the alveoli and the capillaries into the blood.
  • The carbon dioxide you breathe out is diffused from the capillaries to the alveoli, up the bronchial tree and out your mouth.
  • The alveoli are just one cell in thickness, which allows the gas exchange of respiration to take place rapidly.

Compare the manner in which grasshopper hears to the way a human hears
Arturiano [62]
Grasshoppers have no ears, instead they use an organ called the tympanum located in the first segment of their abdomen, whereas humans take in sound waves through the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum picks up the vibrations and then transmits them to tiny bones in the middle of the ear, the bones pass the vibrations to the inner ear (which is filled with liquid) and the cochlea.

Should the FDA should give Aquabounty permission to grow and sell transgenic salmon? Why or why not?
True [87]

Answer:

Yes it should be approved

Explanation:

The FDA should give Aquabounty permission to grow and sell transgenic salmon because studies have shown that transgenic salmons which are genetically modified are harmless. This finding has allayed the fears of the people. Permission to grow and sell this type of salmons will make it easier for transportation to other parts of the country because it doesn’t necessarily have to come from the sea. It also ensures there is increased availability of the products all over the country.
