The primary organs of the respiratory system are the _____, which carry out this ecchange of gases as you breathe. Inhaling moves the diaphragm______and expands the _______.When you _______ the diaphragm relaxes. The diaphragm and ribs return to their original place.
Each time he does one pushup, Jose, who has a mass of 75 kg, raises his center of mass by 25 cm. He completes an impressive 150 pushups in 5 minutes, exercising at a steady rate. a. If we assume that lowering his body has no energetic cost, what is his metabolic power during this workout? b. In fact, it costs Jose a certain amount of energy to lower his body—about half of what it costs to raise it. If you include this in your calculation, what is his metabolic power?
Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tracheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of the insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a tracheae is 1.83 mm long with a cross-sectional area of 1.47 x 10-9m2. The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.651 kg/m3, and the diffusion constant is 1.79 x 10-5 m2/s. If the mass per second of oxygen is diffusing through a trachea is 1.77 x 10-12 kg/s, then find the oxygen concentration at the interior end of the tube.

- 45. Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tra- cheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of an insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a trachea is 1.9 mm long with a cross-sectional area of 2.1 × 10-º m². The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.28 kg/m², and the diffusion constant is 1.1 × 10-5 m²/s. If the mass per second of oxygen diffusing through a trachea is 1.7 X 10-12 kg/s, find the oxygen concentra- tion at the interior end of the tube.arrow_forwardA B C 300 μm Which denotes the apical meristem in roots?
