When collagen in the wall of a blood vessel is exposed as a result of injury, platelets adhere and develop long, spiny pseudopods which draw the vessel walls back together.

  • The blood vessel wall's structural component, collagen, is typically hidden beneath the cells that line the blood vessels' inner walls.
  • Collagen that is exposed when a blood vessel is damaged draws platelets from the circulation, resulting in blood clotting.
  • Additionally, collagen is essential for regulating blood vessel wall cell function.
  • They examine which pieces adhere to various blood vessel wall proteins. This enables them to pinpoint the collagen's essential components, such as those that regulate platelets and blood vessel wall cells.
  • Small blood cells called platelets assist your body in forming clots to halt bleeding. Your blood vessels communicate with the platelets when they sustain injury.
  • When there is damage, the platelets immediately create a plug (clot) to repair it.

Which waste management process involves the burning of solid waste?
damaskus [11]

Solid waste Incineration management process involves the burning of solid waste

<u>Explanation:</u>

Incineration is the process of burning of solid wastes. It is one of the processes of solid waste management. In this process, combustion of organic and inorganic wastes takes place that leads to the formation of ash, heat and flue gases. Ash is composed of inorganic constituents.

The heat generated during this process can be used to generate electricity. The process is carried out by Incinerators. Incinerators does not completely replace landfilling but it reduces the volume of disposal of the wastes.

When they were first sold, aerosol insecticides were highly effective in killing flies and mosquitoes. Now, several decades late
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a. The original spraying has caused a permanent mutation, giving the insects genetic resistance to the spray.

Explanation:

This is a practical   evidences   of mutation and  variation,  as   mechanisms of evolution.

The insecticide is the selective pressure. As a results of continuous spray,  the parents of the present mosquitoes  must have acquired certain characteristics or traits by  gene mutation which makes them resistant to the selective pressure (insecticides), and therefore survive the spray  in the past.

Therefore when these resistant parents mated, with high reproductive success (leading to large gene pool of these traits,); variation in the genetic composition increases as the resistant gene is passed from generations to generations in the population. Therefore, the population of  present day mosquito with   genetic resistance to insecticides  increases.They  are therefore  naturally selected, and  able to  survive as  the  present day mosquitoes with high resistance to insecticides.
