The lungs are large organs which contain smaller, expandable sacs. These sacs greatly increase the surface area of the lungs.
Why is a large surface area important to the function of the lungs? A. Large amounts of liquid wastes and fatty tissue must be stored in the lungs. B. Oxygen in air taken in by the lungs must move quickly through the lung tissue and into the blood. C. The lungs must be very sturdy and rigid so they cannot move. D. The lungs must be able to filter oxygen from water while the organism is swimming.

Suppose while hauling rocks, you accidentally drop one. it breaks apart in flat, planar sections. what type of rock did you just drop? 20 points

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
