The correct answer is<span> C. Capillaries deliver blood to individual cells; veins generally deliver oxygen-depleted blood to the heart; arteries generally bring oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.

That is why the color of the veins is blue, because oxygen depleted blood is much darker than regular blood, so the veins are darker than arteries who have oxygen rich blood.</span>

The death cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides, contains several dangerous substances, including -amanitin. This toxin is a potent
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Poisoning caused by the mushrooms like by eating Amanita phalloides can lead to the death of the organism after a few days.  The chemical α- amanitin causes serious problems to humans as it shows its effect by inhibiting the RNA polymerase II enzyme which acts during the formation of mRNA.  

If mRNA will not be formed, therefore the process of protein synthesis will not take place as a result, all the cellular processes will be halted and the organism will die.

The organisms do not die frequently after consumption of the mushroom instead dies few days only when the α- amanitin starts showing its effect on the liver and kidney and the liver and the kidney fails to perform their work.

Since the liver and kidney fails after a few days by the chemical α- amanitin, therefore, the organism dies after a few days.

Two new species of plants were introduced into an area that was low in available nitrogen compounds in the soil. One formed nodu
natka813 [3]

Lets say the plant that formed nodules is Species A, and the one who didn't is Species B.

If the nitrogen is concentrated in one area but at a low concentration, then Species A may have formed nodules because it is closer to the concentrated nitrogen. Species B didn't because the nitrogen that is active is being taken by Species A.
