Why there is more bacteria growth in liquid vs solid medium?
it is more on liquid because moist attracts more microorganisms than on dry surfaces it is more on liquid because moist attracts more microorganisms than on dry surfaces
How does frogs moist skin help them survive?
Moist skin helps in respiration. A thin film of water is formed on the surface of the frog, into which the atmospheric oxygen gets dissolved and ultimately diffuses into the blood vessels underlying the skin. This is the reason, the skin of frog is richly vascular. Some amphibian species don't even have lungs but obtain all their oxygen this way. Frogs do have lung, though, but they still need to breathe through their skin as well.
Is anaerobic respiration and breathing the same thing?
Anaerobic respiration is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen. Although oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain; it is respiration without oxygen. In order for the electron transport chain to function, an exogenous final electron acceptor must be present to allow electrons to pass through the system. In aerobic organisms, this final electron acceptor is oxygen. Molecular oxygen is a highly oxidizing agent and, therefore, is an excellent acceptor. In anaerobes, other less-oxidizing substances such as sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), sulfur (S), or fumarate are used. These terminal electron acceptors have smaller reduction potentials than O2, meaning that less energy is released per oxidized molecule. Anaerobic respiration is, therefore, in general energetically less efficient than aerobic respiration(?). Anaerobic respiration is used mainly by prokaryotes that live in environments devoid of oxygen. Many anaerobic organisms are obligate anaerobes, meaning that they can respire only using anaerobic compounds and will die in the presence of oxygen. Breathing is the process that moves air in and out of the lungs. Aerobic organisms of these types—such as birds, mammals, and reptiles—require oxygen to release energy via respiration, in the form of the metabolism of energy-rich molecules such as glucose. Breathing is only one process that delivers oxygen to where it is needed in the body and removes carbon dioxide. Another important process involves the movement of blood by the circulatory system. Gas exchange occurs in the pulmonary alveoli by passive diffusion of gases between the alveolar gas and the blood in lung capillaries. Once these dissolved gases are in the blood, the heart powers their flow around the body (via the circulatory system). The medical term for normal relaxed breathing is eupnea. In addition to removing carbon dioxide, breathing results in loss of water from the body. Exhaled air has a relative humidity of 100% because of water diffusing across the moist surface of breathing passages and alveoli.
What conditions (temperature) do microbes like?
Many microbes like warm damp conditions. However, certain types are called "extremeophiles" because they thrive under conditions that few other living organisms could tolerate: water just under the boiling point, for example.
What is Saturn air like?
moist moist moist
Respiration in the earthworms is possible because of?
their large surface areas of moist skin, have no any specific organ for respiration.
Where do Frogs obtain oxygen for cellular respiration through?
Lungs and moist skin.
How does respiration work in the earthworm?
Respiration in the earthworm is fairly simple. The earthworm has moist skin and it respires through the skin surface by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon di-oxide.
The movement of a gas into moist intercellular spaces through stomates is an adaptation for respiration in?
Plants.
What do amphibians have that fish doesn't?
Amphibians can live in water or land environments, as long as the land environment is moist enough for them, while fish can only live in the water. Their gills are specifically designed to filter oxygen from the water.
How do amphibians obtain a supply of oxygen for respiration?
Either through their lungs as adults, Gills as larvae, and small amounts of oxygen through their moist skin.
In animals that carry out respiration though the skin the skin must always be?
The skin must always be moist in animals that exchange oxygen through the skin.
What are the three ways of respiration in a frog?
Frogs have multiple ways to breathe. While underwater, the frog's skin grabs oxygen directly from the water. While it's on land, it uses its lungs, but unlike humans, who use the diaphragm muscle to pull air in, the frog has to puff out its throat to get the air in. This is what causes the iconic frog ribbit.
What is glandular skin in a frog?
glandular skin has many glands Amphibians have a smooth, glandular skin, but they have adaptations for cutaneous respiration, requiring the skin to be kept moist
What is the function of mucous on the frogs skin?
Frogs are very easily dehydrated and need to keep their skin moist permanently. To support this the hydrophyle (waterbinding) mucus is sectreted.
How does moist skin help a frog?
Moist skin helps in respiration. A think film of water is formed on the surface of frog, into which the atmospheric O2 gets dissolved and ultimately diffuses into the blood vessels underlying the skin. This is the reason, the skin of frog is richly vascular.
Why do isopods like wet surfaces?
because it is moist
