The American Curl: A Balancing Act
Along with the kitten's overall conformation to the breed standard, degree of curl to the ear is a key factor in determining quality as follows: first degree (pet), second degree (breeder), and third degree (show), which emulates the graceful curve of a full crescent (as shown in figure 1 below).


About the American Curl
Although the distinctive feature of the American Curl is their uniquely curled ears, the medium-sized rectangular body, silky flat-lying coat, and expressive walnut-shaped eyes are equally indicative of the breed.

The most dominant kangaroo in a mob, known as a âboomer,â has first pick of the female kangaroos in the mob. The boomer will check each female in the mob and sometimes intimidate any male that tries to mate with a female.


Kangaroo Reproduction
Male Kangaroos are called bucks and the females are referred to as does. They young ones are called joeys. Mating usually takes place during the rainy season of the year. When the vegetation is green and food is plentiful the mature males and females will begin to attract each other for mating purposes.


Pygathrix roxellanaâ Overview
The Red kangaroo mob usually consists of a dominant male, a number of adult females, and juveniles of both sexes. Red kangaroo females are sexually mature at about eighteen months, males at about two years. Red kangaroo joeys remain in the pouch for 5-6 months.


-
If the male is satisfied, mating will then begin once the female kangaroo raises her tail to indicate that sheâs responsive. Another common part of this process is tail scratching, which is a type of kangaroo foreplay. Additionally, male kangaroos sometimes give female kangaroos backrubs during the event.


Kangaroo Reproduction
Kangaroo Birth and Care of Young. The reproduction process is very interesting for the Kangaroos. Male Kangaroos are called bucks and the females are referred to as does. They young ones are called joeys. Mating usually takes place during the rainy season of the year.

Kangaroo Reproduction
Another element is that the male Kangaroos often canât produce sperm which is required for successful mating during the dry season. The pouch is a very important part of the female body when it comes to reproduction. The joey is going to be born about 30 days after conception which is very early.

Most kangaroos are able to breed all year round. Female kangaroos have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudo vaginal canal for actually giving birth.

The Classical Argument
1 It must clearly signal the writer s specific position on the issue and/or the direction of her/his argument. 2  Usually a classical argument has a written thesis statement early in the paper usually in the first paragraph or two.


Logic in Argumentative Writing
Last Edited: 2013-03-22 09:43:14. This handout is designed to help writers develop and use logical arguments in writing. This handout helps writers analyze the arguments of others and generate their own arguments.


Intelligence
Rather, the premises of an inductive logical argument indicate some degree of support (inductive probability) for the conclusion but do not entail it; that is, they suggest truth but do not ensure it.


The Classical Argument
The classical argument isn t a cookie-cutter template: simply filling in the parts does not by itself make you successful. But if you use the structure as a way to make sure you cover all the needs of all parts of your audience, you will find it a very useful heuristic for developing effective arguments.


The Classical Argument
The classical argument traditionally consists of five parts: In Writing. In writing, the first two parts of the classical argument, the introduction and narration, are often run together. In speaking, the introduction often served as an icebreaker for the audience.


Reason
Abductive reasoning, or argument to the best explanation, is a form of inductive reasoning, since the conclusion in an abductive argument does not follow with certainty from its premises and concerns something unobserved.


Inductive reasoning
How much the premises support the conclusion depends upon (a) the number in the sample group, (b) the number in the population, and (c) the degree to which the sample represents the population (which may be achieved by taking a random sample).


The Classical Argument
One of the oldest organizing devices in rhetoric is the classical argument, which incorporates the five parts of a discourse that ancient teachers of rhetoric believed were necessary for persuasion, especially when the audience included a mixture of reactions from favorable to hostile.


The Skinny On Salt. How Much Is Too Much?
This would mean reducing intake from about 1 1/2 teaspoons per day to 1 teaspoon per day. For those with hypertension, adults over 40, and African-Americans, the recommended upper limit is 1,500 mg per day, or about two thirds of a teaspoon.


How much salt is too much?
Hypertension Canada said the debate is whether to advise Canadians to aim for less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Doing so would raise the acceptable level of sodium from one-quarter to a little less than a half a teaspoon a day. If approved, the new recommendation would urge people to cut their sodium intake by about a third, compared with the 56 per cent reduction previously recommended. Some members of the task force panel believe the current level may be unrealistic.


How much salt is too much?
Hypertension Canadaâs education task force is sifting through the latest scientific evidence at a meeting Thursday, to determine the acceptable level of sodium intake for consumers. On average, Canadians consume 3,400 mg of sodium every day, mostly through processed foods rather than the salt shaker.


How much salt is too much?
(Cliff Owen/Associated Press). Most people take in an average of 3,400 mg of sodium per day, more than twice the recommended level of 1,500 mg/day for people nine to 70 years old, according to Health Canada.


The Skinny On Salt. How Much Is Too Much?
Unfortunately, we don't see most of the salt that we eat because it is added in the processing and preparation of foods. For example, the single greatest source of salt in the U.S. diet is bread, which we don't think of as a salty food. Thus, if we are to achieve the recommended limits for sodium intake, this will require reductions by food processors and restaurants, especially fast-food chains.


The Skinny On Salt. How Much Is Too Much?
Cutting back, even just a little bit, may make us healthier. By Walter C. Willett, M.D. + More. I've heard that if Americans cut back on salt intake, even just a little, we'd be a lot less at risk for heart attacks and stroke.

If the amount of salt per 100g is between 0.3g and 1.5g, that is a medium level of salt, and the packaging may be colour-coded amber. As a rule, aim for foods that have a low or medium salt content. Try to have high-salt foods only occasionally, or in small amounts.


Children's diets 'far too salty'
The daily recommended maximum amount of salt children should eat depends on age: 1  1 to 3 years â 2g salt a day (0.8g sodium). 2  4 to 6 years â 3g salt a day (1.2g sodium). 3  7 to 10 years â 5g salt a day (2g sodium).


Salt: the facts
Babies under a year old should have less than 1g of salt a day. If a baby is breastfed, they will get the right amount of minerals, including sodium and chloride, from breast milk. Formula milk contains a similar amount to breast milk.

Factor of safety and probability of failure. 4. Hence: (2) Note that, theoretically, the denominator for calculation of variance of samples should be. n, not (n - 1). However, for a finite number of samples, it can be shown that the correction. factor n/(n-1), known as Bessel's correction, gives a better estimate.


Risk Impact/Probability Chart
With the Risk Impact/Probability Chart, you map out each risk â and its position determines its priority. High-probability/high-impact risks are the most critical, and you should put a great deal of effort into managing these.

Risk Impact/Probability Chart
How to Use the Tool. The Risk Impact/Probability Chart is based on the principle that a risk has two primary dimensions: Probability â A risk is an event that may occur. The probability of it occurring can range anywhere from just above 0 percent to just below 100 percent. (Note: It can't be exactly 100 percent, because then it would be a certainty, not a risk. And it can't be exactly 0 percent, or it wouldn't be a risk.)

Raising Orphan Kittens
Formula should be warmed to body temperature and fed to small kittens every 3-4 hours. As they get older every 6-8 hours will be enough. Check the package for recommended feeding amounts and feedings per day. A kitten needs approximately 8 cc's of formula per ounce of body weight per day.f necessary, you may begin weaning the kitten at 4 weeks of age. Start by feeding it formula in a bowl.

Like most great presenters, he stresses on the most important words in the sentence. Research shows that your audience tends to pick up words that you emphasize on and often ignore the rest.


Everything You Need To Know About 'Modinomics' The New Economic Strategy That Could Be Coming To India
Many expect opposition leader Narendra Modi to become India's next prime minister, and there's hope he could help revive economic growth in India, which has been languishing. Modi has been credited with driving Gujarat's economic growth since he took the helm as chief minister of the northwest Indian state in 2001.


Everything You Need To Know About 'Modinomics' The New Economic Strategy That Could Be Coming To India
Modi Can't Shake His Past. There is, of course, one thing that Modi has never been able to dodge: questions surrounding his role in the deadly Gujarat riots of 2002, in which more than 1,000 people were killed, women were raped, and thousands became displaced.

Mr Modi is a controversial figure in India, loved and hated in equal measure. Those who love him claim he stands for good governance and economic growth. Others argue that he is an ultra-Hindu nationalist who has fanned the flames of sectarian violence and favoured the rich.


The Great Fire of London of 1666
In 1665, during the plague, the king, Charles II, had fled London. Many would have liked to have done the same and few criticised the king when he did leave for the countryside. However, in September 1666, he stayed in London and took charge of the operation to save the city. His plan was to create fire- breaks.

The Great Fire of London of 1666
The History Learning Site, 17 Mar 2015. 16 Aug 2016. The Great Fire of London of September 1666 was one of the most famous incidents in Stuart England. It was the second tragedy to hit the city in the space of 12 months. Just as the city was recovering from the Great Plague, the inhabitants had to flee the city once again â this time not as a result of a disease, but the result of as human accident.


The Great Fire of London of 1666
In this sense, the fire did London a favour and it was now up to the cityâs authorityâs to re-build and re-plan the city. This task was given to Sir Christopher Wren. As with the Great Plague of 1665, a great deal of information we have about the Great Fire comes from Samuel Pepys who kept a diary of the event.

How Car Engines Work
The Âprinciple behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use that energy to propel a potato 500 feet.


-
There is a third type of engine,Â known as a two-stroke engine, that is commonly found in lower-power applications. Some of the devices that might have a two-stroke engine include: 1  Lawn and garden equipment (chain saws, leaf blowers, trimmers). 2  Dirt bikes. 3  Mopeds. 4  Jet skis. 5  Small outboard motors.


engine cycle
The cycle of the carburetor engine consists of compression of the working fluid (adiabatic curve ac), addition of the heat Q 1 (isochor cz), incomplete expansion (adiabatic curve zb), and rejection of the heat Q 2 (isochor ba).


engine cycle
See also Otto cycle and Brayton cycle. ii. A specific activity in an engine such as from one start to the switch-off of the engine, one advance and retard of the engine, etc. For ease of record keeping within airlines, cycles are recorded as one takeoff and landing.


Four Stroke Engine
The illustrated engine features a poppet intake valve which is drawn open by the vacuum produced by the intake stroke. Some early engines worked this way; however, most modern engines incorporate an extra cam/lifter arrangement as seen on the exhaust valve.


engine cycle
Cycle, Engine. a sequence of processes that regularly recur in an internal or external combustion engine and form the basis of the engineâs operation.


engine cycle
An engine cycle may be plotted as a closed curve in coordinates of the volume and pressure (V, p) or the entropy and temperature (S, T) of the working fluid. The area bounded by the contour is proportional to the work done.


How Car Engines Work
As the crankshaft revolves, it has the effect of resetting the cannon.. Here's what happens as the engine goes through its cycle: 1  The piston starts at the top, the intake valve opens, and the piston moves down to let the engine take in a cylinder-full of air and gasoline. 2  This is the intake stroke. 3  Only the tiniest drop of gasoline needs to be mixed into the air for this to work.


What makes up the cytoskeleton? and what role does the cytoskeleton play in a cell?
Best Answer: The cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding or skeleton contained within the cytoplasm. The cytoskeleton is present in all cells; it was once thought this structure was unique to eukaryotes, but recent research has identified the prokaryotic cytoskeleton.


Centrioles - Organizing Chromosomes
Beyond the role they play in internal cell movement, microtubules also work together to form larger structures that work on the outside of the cells. They can combine in very specific arrangements to form cilia and flagella. Cilia are little hairs you might see on the outside of a paramecium or other protists.


Centrioles - Organizing Chromosomes
The movement of the cell membrane, organelles, and cytoplasm is all related to the tubules and filaments. Microtubules have many more uses than just cell structure. They are also very important in cell division. They connect to chromosomes, help them with their first split, and then move to each new daughter cell. They are a part of a small pair of organelles called centrioles that have the specific purpose to help a cell divide.


Cytoskeleton Anatomy
The cytoskeleton is composed of at least three different types of fibers: microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. These types are distinguished by their size with microtubules being the thickest and microfilaments being the thinnest.


What makes up the cytoskeleton? and what role does the cytoskeleton play in a cell?
Cytosleleton is made up by various proteins, and there are generally three kinds of cytoskeletons: Microtubules, Microfilaments, and Intermediate Filaments. For the microtublues, they are made up by alpha and beta tublins; microfilaments, they consist of actin; and for intermediate filaments, they consist keratin.


-
In addition to providing support for the cell, the cytoskeleton is also involved in cellular motility and in moving vesicles within a cell, as well as assisting in the formation of food vacuoles in the cell.


-
It is a dynamic structure that maintains cell shape, often protects the cell, enables cellular motion (using structures such as flagella, cilia and lamellipodia), and plays important roles in both intracellular transport (the movement of vesicles and organelles, for example) and cellular division.


Microfilaments - Stringy Proteins
All of the microfilaments and microtubules combine to form the cytoskeleton of the cell. The cytoskeleton is different from cytoplasm (cytosol) . The cytoskeleton provides structure. Cytoplasm is just a fluid.


Cytoskeleton Anatomy
Now we turn our attention to the infrastructure of a eukaryotic cell, the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers throughout the cell's cytoplasm that helps the cell maintain its shape and gives support to the cell. A variety of cellular organelles are held in place by the cytoskeleton.


What makes up the cytoskeleton? and what role does the cytoskeleton play in a cell?
Eukaryotic cells contain three main kinds of cytoskeletal filaments, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The cytoskeleton provides the cell's cytoplasm with structure and shape.

At the time of publication, the allowable mileage rate by the IRS is $0.51 per mile. This method provides a fixed, standard rate and incorporates the cost of insurance, registration, gas, oil and maintenance. The employee provides an expense sheet listing the mileage driven to complete his job.


When Must Employers Pay Mileage Reimbursements?
If you donât reimburse employees for mileage expenses, they may deduct from their gross income (1) the amount paid under their own mileage allowance or (2) the IRSâ standard rate multiplied by the number of miles driven for business purposes, whichever is less.

Under federal tax laws, employers have several options to reimburse an employee for using his car on the job. The employer can elect to pay an actual cost method, a standard mileage rate or a fixed and variable rate allowance. Some states legally require employers to reimburse employees who use their cars on the job. Check with your state's requirements and create a company policy so everyone knows the rules. Step 1. Review the reimbursable expenses submitted by the employee for using her car on the job.


When Must Employers Pay Mileage Reimbursements?
Each year, the IRS releases an optional standard mileage rate. As of July 1, 2008, that rate is 58.5 cents per mile traveled for business purposes, 27 cents per mile for medical and moving travel, and 14 cents per mile for travel for charitable purposes. You can use the standard mileage rate as a benchmark to reimburse employees for business travel. For tax purposes, itâs much less complicated to go by the standard rates than to require employees to keep track of their actual vehicle expenses.

How Tornadoes Work
Tornadoes and Thunderstorms. ÂTornadoes don't just pop into existence -- they develop out of thunderstorms, where there's already a steady, upward flow of warm, low-pressure air to get things started. It's kind of like when a rock concert erupts into a riot. Conditions were already volatile; they merely escalated into something even more dangerous.

What is Beef Brisket?
Brisket is one of the toughest cuts of meat, which makes it perfect for barbecuing. On a cow, the brisket lies over the sternum, ribs, and the connecting cartilage. When cows lie down, theyâre resting most of their body weight on this cut, which makes it extremely tough and full of connective tissues (rather than fat, which is more flavorful).


Hero = Protagonist = Main Character?
If there are differences between the main character and the protagonist, maybe thinking that way can lead you to some unusual ideas. In a movie production, working with unclear definitions can even lead to some practical issues. Imagine you decide with a rigger to put some extra features into the âmain charactersâ.


What Is the Difference between a Protagonist and Antagonist?
The main character often fills the role of either a protagonist or antagonist, but that is not always the case. In general, the main character is the one through which the audience views the story and feels an emotional connection. The obstacle character opposes the main character.


Hero = Protagonist = Main Character?
Is there a difference between the hero, the main character, and the protagonist? Does a sidekick sharing 90% of screen time with the hero count as one of the main characters? There is a lot of confusion about these terms. Letâs see if we can sort this outâ¦.


Difference Between Protagonist and Antagonist
There is a central character in the story who is the good guy and there is also a bad guy placing obstacles in his path. The terms protagonist and antagonist are used to refer to these characters though many people remain confused between these terms. This is because a protagonist can also be a bad guy at times. This article attempts to take a closer look at these terms to come up with their differences.


What Is the Difference between a Protagonist and Antagonist?
In literature, a protagonist and antagonist are archetypal characters that serve as focal points to portray two sides of a conflict. Archetypes are a symbol or motif of a typical example of a thing or person. Differences between the two characters are defined by the roles the two play within a story. Though these roles are often played by two human characters, they can also be represented by elements of nature or two sides of the same character.


The Difference Between Villains and Antagonists
Antagonists are: 1  Not necessarily evil. 2  Opposed to the protagonist.  3 Antagonist is a plot role and doesn't say anything about the character's personality or motivations.


-
So to recap, villains are: 1  Evil. 2  Aren't necessarily opposed to the protagonist.  3 Villain is a character type, not a plot role.


What is the difference between main characters and protagonists?
A protagonist is the single character whom a given story is about. The protagonist is, therefore, not just a main character, but the main character. Whereas the term main character could refer to any character to whom the author has devoted some significant amount of wordage. Some novels have thirty main characters.


Difference Between Protagonist and Antagonist
Difference Between Protagonist and Antagonist. â¢ Protagonist and antagonist are the archetypal characters always present in a narrative, play, or a movie. â¢ Protagonist is mostly a good guy who is forced to get involved in a struggle with the antagonist, the villain who opposes him.


The Difference Between Villains and Antagonists
So to recap, villains are: 1  Evil. They have evil motivation and evil actions to match. 2  Aren't necessarily opposed to the protagonist. In fact, they can be a protagonist.  3 Villain is a character type, not a plot role.

Predestination
Explanations of predestination often seek to address the  paradox of free will , whereby God's omniscience seems incompatible with human free will. In this usage, predestination can be regarded as a form of religious determinism; and usually predeterminism.


free will
a. the apparent human ability to make choices that are not externally determined. b. the doctrine that such human freedom of choice is not illusory. Compare determinism 1. c. (as modifier): a free-will decision. 2. the ability to make a choice without coercion: he left of his own free will: I did not influence him.


Definitions &Translations
John Calvin interpreted biblical predestination to mean that God willed eternal damnation for some people and salvation for others. Explanations of predestination often seek to address the so-called paradox of free will, whereby God's omniscience seems incompatible with human free will.


Predestination
Predestination, in theology, is the doctrine that all events have been willed by God, usually with reference to the eventual fate of the individual soul. Explanations of predestination often seek to address the  paradox of free will , whereby God's omniscience seems incompatible with human free will.

-
With no significant exception, when predestinarians deny that man has freedom of will, it is to deny that man's will is free in the same sense as the Creator's will, or to affirm that man's choices are entirely subject to divine causation.


Libertarian free will
The Libertarian view-According to libertarianism, the idea that God causes men to act in a certain way, but that man has free will in acting that way is logically false. Free means uncaused. Man has free will, and his decisions are influenced, but not caused. God limits the actions of men, but not their mind or will.

Re: The definition of free will. I agree with this definition. A person who is born with muscular dystrophy, and is in a wheelchair has zero free will to run the Boston Marathon. An infant has zero free will to write a book.


Carl Linnaeus
Swedish author August Strindberg wrote: Linnaeus was in reality a poet who happened to become a naturalist. Among other compliments, Linnaeus has been called Princeps botanicorum (Prince of Botanists), The Pliny of the North, and The Second Adam. He is also considered as one of the founders of modern ecology.


Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (/lÉªËniËÉs, lÉªËneÉªÉs/; 23 May 1707 â 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement as Carl von LinnÃ© (Swedish pronunciation: [ËkÉËÉ ËfÉnË lÉªËneË] ( listen)), was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who formalised the modern system of naming organisms called binomial nomenclature.


Who is the father of taxonomy?
Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carl von LinnÃ© or Carolus Linnaeus, is often called the Father of Taxonomy. He was born on May 23, 1707, at Stenbrohult, in the province of SmÃ¥lâ¦and in southern Sweden.


Carl Linnaeus
He is known by the epithet father of modern taxonomy. Many of his writings were in Latin, and his name is rendered in Latin as Carolus LinnÃ¦us (after 1761 Carolus a LinnÃ©). Linnaeus was born in the countryside of SmÃ¥land, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University, and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730.


Why is Carl Linnaeus called the father of taxonomy?
Juha Kurki, University greenhouse architect. Views. I think it is because Carl Linnaeus was better in marketing himself than Pierre Magnol who is the real father of taxonomy. Linnaeus was like secretary for Magnols work, he just made taxonomy divided in two. You can see the difference in scientific magnitude between those men just by looking at the size of the plants that are named after them. I think that who ever selected the plants knew what she/he was doing.

Carl Linnaeus is the father of modern biological classification systems. Linnaeus was born on May 23, 1707, at Stenbrohult, in SmÃ¥land in southern Sweden. His father, Nils Inâ¦gemarsson Linnaeus, was a gardener and a Protestant pastor. Linnaeus began his studies at the University of Lund in 1727 to study medicine. One year later, he transferred to the acclaimed University of Uppsala, in Sweden.


Taxonomy (general)
Taxonomy vs. classification. Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. It is usually organized by supertype-subtype relationships. (generalization-specialization relationships orparent-child. relationships) A hierarchical taxonomy is a tree structure of classifications. for a given set of objects. At the top of this structure is a. single classification, the root node, that applies to all objects.


Discovery of Radioactivity
Discovery of Radioactivity. The discovery of radioactivity took place over several years beginning with the discovery of x-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen and continuing with such people as Henri Becquerel and the Curie family. The application of x-rays and radioactive materials is far reaching in medicine and industry.


Cosmic microwave background
Discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation. The accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964 is a major development in modern physical cosmology. Although predicted by earlier theoretical work around 1950, it was first discovered accidentally by American radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson as they experimented with the Holmdel Horn Antenna.

Some of this new evidence showed that certain types of atoms disintegrate by themselves. In the following three sub-units you will learn about the discovery of X-ray, the discovery of radioactive elements, and you will find out who the Curies were and what contribution to science they made.


Direct Arthrography
No, radiation and electromagnetic radiation are not the same. Electromagnetic radiation is one form or type of radiation, and there are different types of radiation. Electromaâ¦gnetic radiation speaks to the propagation of electromagnetic energy, like light or radio waves, for example.


The Discovery of Radioactivity
The Discovery of Radioactivity. In 1896 Henri Becquerel was using naturally fluorescent minerals to study the properties of x-rays, which had been discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen.


-
Simply put, radiation biophysics is the intersection of biology and radiation physics. And it's a big intersection - with lots of traffic. Radiation physics is all about what â¦happens to living things that are zapped with radiation.


-
The discovery of radioactivity, in general, actually came about on a few different fronts. First was the discovery of X-ray radiation that was artificially generated in a laboratory, followed by the discovery of several elements that naturally emit radiation when the nucleus of the atoms disintegrate or decay.


-
And it's a huge field because of the different types of radiation and the many, many ways it occurs naturally or is artificially generated and applied for a purpose. Let's look at a few areas of investigation and application to get a handle on radiation biophysics.


The Discovery of Radioactivity
Becquerel used an apparatus similar to that displayed below to show that the radiation he discovered could not be x-rays. X-rays are neutral and cannot be bent in a magnetic field. The new radiation was bent by the magnetic field so that the radiation must be charged and different than x-rays.

How exactly does dissolved oxygen affect water quality?
The amount of oxygen that can be held by the water depends on the water temperature, salinity, and pressure. Gas solubility increases with decreasing temperature (colder water holds more oxygen). Gas solubility increases with decreasing salinity (freshwater holds more oxygen than does saltwater).Both the partial pressure and the degree of saturation of oxygen will change with altitude.Finally, gas solubility decreases as pressure decreases. Thus, the amount of oxygen absorbed in water decreases as altitude increases because of the decrease in relative pressure.oth the partial pressure and the degree of saturation of oxygen will change with altitude.
