Cells need oxygen to make energy. Oxygen-rich blood is transported to tissues. When the oxygen is dropped off, it needs to move

through structures that are small and thin.

The answer is capillaries

Answer: <u>Capillaries </u>

Explanation: There are two kinds of vessels which carry the blood throughout the body. These are veins and arteries. Now apart from these two, there is a third type which is called as capillaries, which are the connecting vessels between arteries and veins. These are relatively thinner and allow exchange of gases between tissues and the blood. Therefore, arteries and veins are incorrect options.

Heart is the pumping organ, and its function is to pump the blood to every cell of the body, so this can't be correct option.

In humans, without considering the variation provided by crossing over, how much will two siblings from one set of parents vary
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the two siblings differ from each other for 0-23 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction adds genetic variations in the progeny by crossing over, independent segregation of homologous chromosomes and random fusion of gametes. Without crossing over, independent segregation of homologous chromosomes towards opposite poles during anaphase I of meiosis may result in two siblings to vary from each other for 0-23 chromosomes.

There is an equal probability of each of the two siblings to get a chromosome from mother or father. Hence, irrespective of the variations provided by crossing over, random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the two siblings differ from each other for 0-23 chromosomes.

Abe knew from his anatomy class that there are three different kinds of muscle tissue in the body. He knew lifting weights would
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Three different kinds of muscles are -:

  1. <u>SKELETAL MUSCELES </u>
  2. <u>CARDIAC MUSCLES </u>
  3. <u>SMOOTH MUSCLES</u>

Explanation:

  1. <u>SKELETAL MUSCLES -: </u>There are long, cylindrical, and striated skeletal muscle cells. They are multi-nucleated, which means they have more than one nucleus. This is because from the fusion of embryonic myoblasts, they are created. Each nucleus controls the sarcoplasm's metabolic demands around it. There are high energy requirements for skeletal muscle cells, because they contain several mitochondria in order to generate adequate ATP. <u>Examples of skeletal muscles: arms and legs- </u>T<u>he muscles that belong to the arms and legs feature in pairs. Abdomen and Back- These muscles are connected to the various sets of skeletal muscles that run across the torso.</u>
  2. <u>CARDIAC MUSCLES -</u>: Cardiomyocytes have a short and narrow outline and are fairly rectangular. They are about 0.02 mm wide and 0.1 mm (millimetres) long, respectively. There are many sarcosomes in cardiomyocytes, which provide the required energy for contraction. Cardiomyocytes usually contain a single nucleus, unlike skeletal muscle cells. Cardiomyocytes, although they contain more sarcosomes, normally contain the same cell organelles as skeletal muscle cells.<u> example - cardiac muscle is present in heart. </u>
  3. <u>SMOOTH MUSCLES -:</u> Smooth muscle cells have a single central nucleus and are spindle-shaped. They range in length from 10 to 600 μm (micrometers), and are the tiniest type of muscle cell. In the expansion of organs like the kidneys , lungs, and vagina, they are elastic and therefore essential. As in cardiac and skeletal muscle, the myofibrils of smooth muscle cells are not aligned, meaning they are not striated, hence the term smooth. <u>example of smooth muscles -: Walls of blood vessels ,  Walls of stomach , Ureters ,  Intestines ,  In the aorta (tunica media layer),  Iris of the eye. ,Prostate  and  Gastrointestinal Tract.</u>

Which process is NOT fueled by ATP produced in cellular respiration. First exclude the four processes that are fueled by ATP pro
tangare [24]

Answer:

transport of protons (H+) from low concentration in the mitochondrial matrix to high concentration in the mitochondrial intermembrane space

Explanation:

atpase pump can also be called atp synthase. this enzyme catalyses atp formation from adenosine diphosphate and phosphate. it has f1, stalk and f0 components. 3 positive hydrogen ions go through to make 1 adenosine triphosphate molecule. oxidative phosphorylation has to do with the loss of electrons. there would be electrons loss from NADH to FADH2. Cytochromes carries them through different series of transferases from I to IV and while on this positive hydrogen ions are released into mitochondrial matrix

positive hydrogen ions are moved back to lumen through adenosine triphosphate channels. a process called chemiosmosis. the pro
