9) Blood pressure results from the force of blood fluids pressing against the walls of blood vessels. Hypertension, or high bloo

d pressure, is often caused by a constriction of the blood vessels by fatty deposits in artery walls. However, another cause of high blood pressure can be the intake of too much sodium in foods and table salt. Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure? A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis. B) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids in the blood to leave and go to surrounding cells, due to osmosis. C) People that take in too much salt will drink more water to balance out the salt, which raises blood pressure. D) Extra salt solidifies in the bloodstream and blocks the blood vessels, causing them to narrow, and blood pressure to go up.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Plasm Sodium concentration is kept in a very narrow range, and urine maximum osmolarity (among other reasons) prevents kidneys to speed up plasm Sodium clearance. As a result a high Sodium intake is likely to increase blood pressure for several hours

4. What information would allow you to distinguish between homologous vs. analogous (AKA homoplastic) traits, or to decide wheth
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Homologies - phenotypic and genetic similarities due to shared ancestry

Analogies (homoplastic) - similarities between two species due to convergent evolution instead of descent from a common ancestor with the same trait

In general, organisms that share very similar morphologies or similar DNA sequences are likely to be more closely related than organisms with vastly different structures or sequences. In some cases, however, the morphological divergence between related species can be great and their genetic divergence small (or vice versa).

(plants very different, bc diverged 50 mil years ago)

If internal anatomy, physiology, and reproductive systems are very dissimilar, probably analogous.

The more elements that are similar in two complex structures, the more likely it is that the structures evolved from a common ancestor. If genes in two organisms share many portions of their nucleotide sequences, it is likely that the genes are homologous.:

What is base ? what is acid and salts? plz explantion this question
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

In acid – base chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Basic salts contain the conjugate base of a weak acid, so when they dissolve in water, they react with water to yield a solution with pH greater than 7.0.
