Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs and each is made from a single layer of flat cells, Many alveoli in the lungs, so a large surface area for exchangement of C02 and O2. They are surrounded by a network of capillaries and oxygen diffuses out of them via the alveolar epithelium to the hemoglobin.

Hope this helps

1. A mutation is capable of reducing the amount of chlorophyll in the leaf. Would this also reduce the rate of photosynthesis?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

No.This is because the amount of the chlorophyll; ls not a limiting factor of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Generally the three factors are regarded as the limiting factors of photosynthesis.These are the CO2 concentration,light intensity,and temperature.Fluctuations in the availability of these factors affects the rate of photosynthesis.

When the rate of a chemical reaction depends on  a lot of reactions for its progress.The rate of this reaction is determined or  limited by the slowest in the reactions. This series of reactions govern this chemical reactions are the limiting factors. The one that is slowing down the rate of the reaction is said to limit it.

in the case of photosynthesis,  a decrease in the amount of CO2,but no change in the amount of other factors would affect the rate of photosynthesis. This is applicable to other factors fluctuation too ,which limits  the rate of photosynthesis

Organisms that eat cows do not obtain a great deal of energy from the cows. In fact, they get less energy than the cows obtain f
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The cow uses all but stores ten percent of what they eat.

Explanation:

For example, a plant produces 100 percent energy. The plant needs to use the energy for survival.

When a cow eats the plant, it only gains 10 percent of the energy.

Then, say a wolf eats the cow.

The wolf only gets 1 percent of the energy that is produced by the plant.

Heavy rains and mudslides cause a river to change course, isolating two groups of lizards from one another. If they remain isola
Stells [14]

If they remain isolated for a long period of time, the two groups will probably diverge genetically, and may result in speciation.

Genetic divergence is the process whereby two groups of the same ancestral species acquire autonomous genetic changes through time, usually after the groups have been separated reproductively for some period of time.

Speciation is an evolutionary process whereby populations develop to become different species.
