Blood flows through a section of a horizontal artery that is partially blocked by a deposit along the artery wall. A hemoglobin molecule moves from the narrow region into the wider region. What happens to the pressure acting on the molecule?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pressure acting on the molecule reduces.

Explanation:

As a molecule of hemoglobin moves from a narrow region to a wide region in the artery then it experiences a reduced pressure in the wider region and has more free space to move with lesser obstruction.

From the equation of pressure:

[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

where:

F = force

A = area

So, force being constant pressure is inversely proportional to the area, pressure acting on the molecule reduces as a result.
