What else can I help you with?
Is air pressure the same at high altitudes?
No, it is not. The pressure decreases as the altitude increases.
Does carbon dioxide and bicarbonate anions move in the same direction across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte?
Carbon dioxide enters the erythrocyte and reacts with water to form bicarbonate ions, which then exit the erythrocyte. So, they move in opposite directions across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte.
Can high altitudes cause bloating?
I always get bloated when I go to high altitudes and pass alot of wind. Thought it was just me but my sister told me she has the same thing. My stomach feels like it is twice the size and it gets terribly uncomfortable.
Should PCB levels fiffer significantly in Alaskan laks that are near each other and at the same altitudes?
It is unlikely for PCB levels to significantly differ in Alaskan lakes that are near each other and at the same altitudes because there would be similar sources of contamination affecting all lakes in the vicinity. Factors such as water flow, sedimentation, and proximity to pollution sources would play a more significant role in determining PCB levels.
Does high altitude make you dizzy?
Lack of oxygen to the brain makes you dizzy. High altitude generally has lower density air, which gives you less oxygen in a given volume of breath than you would get with the same volume at a lower altitude.
Why is it more difficult to breath at the top of a mountain?
This is due to the thinness of the atmosphere at high altitudes (e.g. the top of a mountain). The thinness is caused by the loss of molecules to space due to the slight lessening of gravity's pull at high altitudes.
Why are flights high today?
This is because of 2 primary reasons: 1. Aircraft use less fuel at higher altitudes, making it more efficient to fly so high. 2. Aircraft can fly faster at higher altitudes due to the air becoming less dense. There is less friction between the air and the skin of the aircraft, so you need less power to reach the same speed in comparison with low altitudes.
How has the mountain goats respiratory system adapted permantly to different altitudes?
The mountain goats respiratory system is adapted permanently to different altitudes. This is because it is the cellular respiratory system which allows it to survive the low oxygen climate.
Why aren't the temperatures the same on the earth's Equator?
differing altitudes
Can you have high potassium and high sodium at the same time?
Yes, it is possible to have high potassium and high sodium levels at the same time, although this is less common. High potassium levels (hyperkalemia) can be caused by kidney dysfunction, certain medications, or health conditions, while high sodium levels (hypernatremia) can result from dehydration, certain medications, or certain health conditions. Both electrolytes play crucial roles in the body's function, but imbalances can have harmful effects.
How does the erythrocyte sedimentation rate of the same blood sample vary between Calcutta and Quebec?
The blood sasmples are negetive always.
What is a change of speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column?
Wind shear is the change in speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column. It can create turbulence and impact aircraft operations.
