15. Describe how the structure of the bird respiratory system provides the energy the
bird needs for flight.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The bird's respiratory system consists of paired lungs, which contain static structures with surfaces for gas exchange, and connected air sacs, which expand and contract causing air to move through the static lungs.

Birds do not have a diaphragm; instead, air is moved in and out of the respiratory system through pressure changes in the air sacs. ... Bird lungs do not expand or contract like the lungs of mammals. In mammalian lungs, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs in microscopic sacs in the lungs, called 'alveoli.'

Air sacs are found as tiny sacs off the larger breathing tubes (tracheae) of insects, as extensions of the lungs in birds, and as end organs in the lungs of certain other vertebrates. They serve to increase respiratory efficiency by providing a large surface area for gas exchange.

How do birds respire?

Some birds can sing while they fly! ... When the bird takes a second breath, the air in the lungs is sucked into the cranial air sacs -caudal thoracic, cervical, and clavicular. The cranial air sacs act as a holding chamber which provides a small back flow of air into the lungs during expirations.

Answers

Answer:

I think it's not because of the water we use it's the water we have.

Explanation:

Because our planet is made up of 75% water it is naturally the first thing to recognize.

Many people call Earth the “blue planet” because seen from far away, what really stands out of the planet, it’s the the ocean as the earth is most covered with water well salt water and most of the water is not available to humans because most of the water contains salt which is not fresh water, only a small percentage of the water is fresh and drinkable

Is a reflex part of the central
nervous system, the peripheral
nervous system, or both? Explain.

Answers

Answer:Because the peripheral nervous system transmit reflex impulses from sense organs to central nervous system and then back to the sense organs. So both the Central nervous system and the peripheral systems are involved.

To understand a bit better.....

One of our body parts consists of a nervous system it is a complex network of neurons and cells that carry pieces of information to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body.

So in conclusion...

Yes! The Central nervous system and the peripheral systems are involved!So therefore your question is correct!

Hope this helps!

Which statement best describes codominance and incomplete dominance?

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are;

A) In codominance and incomplete dominance, both of the alleles are dominant.

B) In codominance and incomplete dominance, neither of the alleles are dominant.

C) In codominance, both of the alleles are dominant; in incomplete dominance, neither of the alleles is dominant.

D) In codominance, neither of the alleles is dominant; in incomplete dominance, both of the alleles are dominant.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Codominance and incomplete dominance are both a type of non-mendelian inheritance pattern i.e. patterns of inheritance that do not follow mendelian principles.

- In codominance, the alleles of a gene are both dominant and hence, both express themselves simultaneously for that trait. An example is the alleles A and B of the blood group in humans where both A and B are dominant in the gene.

- In incomplete dominance, neither of the two alleles of gene is dominant and none is recessive either. This means that the two alleles blend together to form an intermediate phenotype in a heterozygous offspring. An example is the pink flower in four o'clock plants resulting from the blending of red and white alleles.

THE NIGHTMARE

I woke up with a start, sweating profusely, my heart pounding erratically against my chest. My hands were shaking uncontrollably and I held my pillow close to my chest to clam my nerves. I had heard it. There was no doubt in it. A loud, high-pitched shriek, which sounded nothing like a human cry. It was surreal, making a shiver to creep up my spine. I twisted my hands together in nervousness, and murmured a prayer to god. The ghostly sound had resonated from beneath my bed. I had read way too many horror stories to not be scared by now. My throat felt dry and parched and I longed for a sip of water. But I had to go downstairs to fetch the jug. That meant I had to get down from my bed. And there was no way I would do that. Not now, when I was literally scared to death. I swallowed hard. My breathing had slowed down a bit but my heartbeat was still erratic. I perked up my ears and waited to see if the shrieks continued. I badly wanted to cover myself with my blanket but I was too scared to move an inch. I waited for about a minute and could hear no sound. This eased me a bit. Just when I mustered the courage to lie back down and go back to sleep, I felt a shadow whisk past me, sending the curtains flying. I brought my hands to my mouth to stop myself from crying out in terror. It was the silhouette of a girl, a tall, slender figure that I was sure by now was somewhere around me. I felt my eyes brimming with tears but I held my cries back. It was when the shadow reappeared, this time closer to me, near my nightstand. And before I could register what was happening or cry out loud for help, the figure advanced towards me, and all of a sudden, held me in a death grip. I felt myself being choked so tightly that no sound was escaping my mouth, black dots swimming in my vision. Soon enough, I plunged into darkness. After what felt like hours, I opened my eyes to be greeted with the golden rays of the sun streaming in through the window near my bed. I had a slightly blurry memory of yesterday night. I felt around my surroundings, and was met by relief when I could feel the blankets and my pillow beside me. Overjoyed by the fact that I was safe, and that it all had been just a silly nightmare, I thanked God and got out of bed to start my day.
