Healthy human lungs look pink and spongy from the outside. The left lung is a little smaller than the right lung to make room for the heart. The lungs and heart are both protected by the rib cage. In the lungs, each main bronchus branches off into many smaller bronchi. The bronchi become smaller and smaller, and the smallest bronchi are called bronchioles. There are about 30,000 bronchioles in each lung, each about the same thickness as a strand of hair. The inhaled air eventually ends up in tiny air sacs called alveoli at the end of each bronchiole. There are about 300 million alveoli in each lung. They are covered with capillaries, tiny blood vessels that are only one cell thick. Oxygen travels from the alveoli through the capillaries to the bloodstream, heart and other cells. Which of these best represents the progression of bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli in the lungs?

A
tree trunks that become smaller branches and twigs

B
a tight flower bud that has opened into a full bloom

C
whole apples that are sliced into separate wedges

D
a bridge that crosses two rivers

3points hurry! what is the relationship between biotechnology, sharkskin, and disease resistance? bioengineers have developed an artificial sharkskin that does not allow resistant bacteria to grow on it. disease-causing microbes have been genetically modified to keep them from infecting the skins of sharks. scientists have created a device that can be attached to the skins of sharks that dramatically increases their abilities to resist disease. sharkskin produces many chemicals that can be collected and used to create antibiotics.

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. “capture” as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).

In many humans, exposing the skin to sunlight over prolonged periods of time results in the production of more pigment by the skin cells (tanning). this change in skin color provides evidence that -
