Which of the following processes transfers carbon directly from sea organisms to sea water? Diffusion Evaporation Photosynthesis

Respiration
Biology
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]1 year ago
4 0

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.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that the origin of all cells can be traced to previous or pre-existing cells.

According to the cell theory which is made up of three parts;

  • <em>The cell represents the basic unit of all life.</em>
  • <em>All living organisms are made up of cells.</em>
  • <em>Cells do not arise spontaneously, but only from pre-existing cells.</em>

Hence, the discovery that the origin of all cells is traceable to previously existing cells supports the latter part of the cell theory.

The correct option is, therefore, D.

Drinking alcohol can cause dehydration, which makes the blood hypertonic. Which option best describes the consequences of this h
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.

Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential)  compare with  the surrounding  plasma  and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.

Consequently,water with higher potential moves   from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).

Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,

Which of the following hormones is currently thought to decrease plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Calcitonin

Explanation:

Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland.   This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.

Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

During the calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is _____ to drive the formation of sugars. see section 10.4 ( page 224) .
wlad13 [49]
<span>During the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is reduced to drive the formation of sugars.
During the process of photosynthesis, a set of chemical reaction that occurs in the chloroplast is known as the Calvin cycle, which is light independent.
Photosynthesis reaction can be divided into two stages that are the light reaction and the Calvin cycle, in the first stage light energy converted to the chemical energy and the second stage use the products of light reaction to produce sugar.
