Answer #1

In Animal air pathways : Human

The respiratory system starts at the nose and mouth and continues through the airways and the lungs. Air enters the respiratory system through the nose and mouth and passes down the throat (pharynx) and through the voice box, or larynx,Bronchi,broncheols and finally reached to lungs alveoli.

This blood goes to heart and pumped by heart reached to cell via blood vessels.

In plant air pathways:

The leaves of plants have tiny pores on their surface which are called stomata. The exchange of gases in the leaves during respiration takes place through stomata. ... This oxygen is used in respiration in cells of the leaf. The carbon dioxide produced during diffuses out from the leaf into the air through same stomata.

The photosynthetic reaction and its reverse reaction, respiration, demonstrate how closely linked oxygen-breathing animals are to CO2-breathing plants. In fact, the respiration reaction shows that plants "respire" (that is, take in O2 similarly to humans) once the sun goes down. This mechanism helps explain large "fish kills" that can happen overnight in freshwater lakes adjacent to farmland that is heavily fertilized. Scenario - You are a forest ranger in Lake Winnipissaukee National Park, which is surrounded by farmland. You wake...

Animals can be distinguished from all other living organisms by a suite of characters. During your quarantine you often visited a nearby stream. During one of your adventures you stumbled upon an organism for which you must determine its identity. Your hunch is that this thing is an animal, but you need to make observations to determine this with confidence. Provide the necessary information that allows you to distinguish your organism from each group of living things listed below; you...

Fungi Fungi are the great decomposers of the biosphere. Most plants form mycorrhizae with fungi to increase absorptive area without having to grow more roots, in this relationship fungi recieve carbohydrates from plants. Humans consume fungi, mushrooms, may use fungi as a source of drugs for blood pressure, antibiotics and immunosuppresive drugs. Fungi are used in biotechnology to produce fermetation products, and some have been very useful models to study gentics in eukaryotic cells that are unicellular such as yeasts....

Choose the false statement: A) Plants evolved onto the land quite successfully 100’s of millions of years before fungi ever appear on the land. B) Fungi and animals are both heterotrophs; however, they differ in that fungi digest their food and then absorb it, whereas animals ingest their food then digest it. C) Lichens are organisms consisting of a complex of both fungi and algae; these exist together in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. Choose the false statement: A) The earliest...

Diffusion of gases across a permeable membrane 1. How long did it take the O2 levels to become about equal outside and inside the cell? What happened to those levels after they became about equal over the additional 10 seconds? Why did this happen? My answer: It took 6 seconds to become equal. After they became about equal over the additional 10 seconds they fluctuate back and forth as equal equilibrium is achieved. 2.Cell use O2 and produce CO2 as...

Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, the most common isotope of carbon being carbon 12. Carbon 14 is created when cosmic ray bombardment changes nitrogen 14 to carbon 14 in the upper atmosphere. The resulting carbon 14 combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide, which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis. Animals acquire carbon 14 by eating plants. When an animal or plant dies, it ceases to take on carbon 14, and the amount of isotope...

Inorganic phosphorous is a naturally occurring element in all plants and animals, with concentrations increasing progressively up the food chain (fruit < vegetables < cereals < nuts < corpse). Geochemical surveys take soil samples to determine phosphorous content (in ppm, parts per million). A high phosphorous content may or may not indicate an ancient burial site, food storage site, or even a garbage dump. The Hill of Tara is a very important archaeological site in Ireland. It is by legend...
