body cells?
Biology

Elis [28]3 years ago

Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."

"if left untreated, hypertension can lead to ____."
katrin2010 [14]

If left untreated, the probable lead for hypertension to an individual is kidney failure. It is because the blood pressure is associated with the kidneys because the nephrons of the kidneys are being supplied with the blood vessels dense network and also because of the blood that flows through it, when there is a presence of hypertension and left untreated, it could cause the kidney to weaken or harden—causing kidney failure.

Evidence suggests that first, ____________ were acquired when an aerobic bacterium was engulfed by larger cells and became mutua
leonid [27]

Answer:

1. Mitochondria

2. Chloroplast

3. the formation of eukaryotic cells

4. DNA

Explanation:

The theory of endosymbiosis was proposed by the Lynn Margulis in 1967 which suggested that the eukaryotic organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplast evolved when another prokaryotic cell engulfed the prokaryotic bacteria.

The mitochondria were formed when the chemosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by the bacteria and the engulfed bacteria formed a symbiotic relationship. Similarly, the chloroplast was originated in the same way when the photosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by another prokaryote.

The evidence which supports their ar:

1. The same size of the organelles to the bacteria

2. The presence of the circular DNA of the organelles like bacteria  

3. The similarity in the 30s and 70s ribosomal subunits.
