Which statement is true? A) When a diver descends, the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in the diver's blood will decrease. B) When a diver ascends too rapidly to the surface of water, gas comes out of the diver's blood, because the solubility of gas decreases. C) When a can of soda is opened, the gas pressure above the beverage is increased. D) When a can of soda is opened, the amount of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the beverage increases.

Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."
