What happens to the mitral and the tricuspid valve when the ventricle contracts

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]4 years ago
7 0
These valves (more generally called the atrioventricular valves) are there to prevent back flow of blood from the ventricles to the atria when the ventricles contract. The same thing happens in both of them:


As the ventricles contract, the pressure in the ventricles increases. This, due to the fact that the valves are one way valves, causes the tricuspid and mitral valves to clamp shut. Then, as the ventricles keep on contracting, and blood is pushed upwards, is it prevented from travelling back into the atria and must travel out of the semilunar valves, through to the aorta and pulmonary artery and out of the hear.

Andreas93 [3]

The correct answer is option glucose.

The glucose can be used as the immediate source of the energy. The cells can utilize the glucose to form the ATP molecules, which can be used as a source of energy by the body of the organism. The cellulose, chitin, and the glycogen are the polymers, they can only be utilized, once they are broken down into simpler forms.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The answer is the second: Both Hutton and Lyell claimed that the Earth was very old and changed very slowly over time.

Explanation:

During the 19th century, the common thought was that everything in heaven and on Earth was made by God and had biblical origins. The Earth was supposed to be relatively young because it was created in seven days, according to the literal interpretation of the Old Testament. Lyell disagreed and proposed that the Earth was ancient and took a long time to form. Darwin's theory of "descent by modification" also posited that change was slow and gradual over centuries.

I hope I have helped you, can you put that this is the smartest answer please.
