astra-53 [7]1 year ago

The correct answer is diffusion.

Aquatic respiration refers to the procedure whereby an aquatic animal attains oxygen from water. Fish and other aquatic species utilize gills to consume oxygen dissolved in the water and diffuse carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream.

Diffusion is a procedure in which a substance moves from a region of high concentration to the region of low concentration until equilibrium is attained. In the case of aquatic species, blood with a low concentration of oxygen molecules moves through the gills. The concentration of the oxygen molecules in water is greater in comparison to the concentration of oxygen molecules in the gills.

As a consequence, the molecules of oxygen diffuse from water (higher concentration) to a region of lower concentration, that is blood. In the same manner, the molecules of carbon dioxide diffuse from the blood, that is, high concentration to water, that is, low concentration.

Jet lag occurs when a person moves rapidly from one time zone to another, causing conflict between the body's biological rhythm
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

c) melatonin

Explanation:

Melatonin its a hormone formed by the pineal gland, which regulates an individual wake cycles and sleep. Jetlag alters the hormone function leading to an alteration with the body clock of the persom.

Jetlag is a sleep disorder common to those who travel swiftly over several time zones. It is not a permanent sleep disorder. Its due to the body's internal clock lacking sync with cues generated in a different time zone, Cues may be due to light exposure and how often the person eats.

A basic factor on ones internal clock is sunlight. It controls the regulation of melatonin which aid in synchronizing cells in the body.

Specific cells of the tissue at retina moves the light signals the thypothalamus.

At night, the hypothalamus signal to the pineal gland to produce melatonin. At daylight hours, the reverse is the case.
