Answer:

C)  Release of von Willebrand factor (vWF) from the endothelium, not the epithelium.

Explanation:

Hemostasis is the physiological process of reparation and maintenance of a blood vessel to stop excess loss of blood in case of vascular injury. This process occurs in four stages:

  1. Vascular Injury i.e. a breach in the endothelial barrier. This results in the dislodge of endothelial cells, exposing the collagen fibers underneath.
  2. Vascular constriction or vasoconstriction is the constriction of the blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss.
  3. Platelet plug formation involves the aggregation and adhesion of platelets to the endothelium.
  4. Coagulation

Platelet plug formation occurs by the adhesion of circulating platelets to the collagen fibers that have been exposed by dislodging of the endothelial cells. The endothelium, as well as the platelets release a ligand known as the von Willebrand factor (vWF). This molecule acts as a relay or bridge between the integrin receptors on the platelets and the exposed collagen fibers.

Platelets also release chemicals to attract more platelets to the wound site, resulting in more vWF release. This results in more and more platelets adhering to the endothelium, leading to platelet plug formation.

Describe the view if you were to stand in the penumbra of a lunar eclipse.
madreJ [45]

From within the Moon's penumbra, a partial solar eclipse can be seen. Like any other opaque objects illuminated by a light source, the Moon and the Earth cast shadows into space as they block the sunlight that hits them. Each shadow has 3 different areas: the umbra, the penumbra, and the antumbra.

1. Most familiar life forms live in regions of biomes that humans inhabit. (1 point)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1. The first statement is true. A biome is defined as a large set of naturally occurring plants and animals occupying a major habitat. For e.g. forest, dessert, grasslands etc.

2. The given statement is True. Biodiversity is defined as the variety of plants and animals exists or existed in the world or in any specific habitat. The high level of biodiversity is important and beneficial for the environment.

3. This statement is False. Outside force such as earthquake, zone hole etc can certainly cause changes in the organism. For example, UV rays can cause cancer in an organism, dark colorization of peppered moth during industrial revolution.

4. It is True as species is defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreed and share common characteristics. It is the basic unit of biological classification. For example, <em>sapiens </em>is the species of human being.

5. Yes, the given statement is true. Charles Robert Darwin famous naturalist, biologist, and geologist. He was best known for his work in the field of evolution and gave the theory of natural selection. He is also known as the father of evolution.

6. No, all scientists were not agreed with Charles Darwin, for example, Lamarck, Weismann etc. However, Neo-Darwinism was much more accepted that Darwin original theory. Hence, the given statement is false.

7. Natural selection is one of the process of evolution. It sates that organisms better suited and adapted to their environment have better chances of survival. Organisms acquire new characteristics over the generations in order to adapt in a environment. Hence, the given statement is false.

8. The statement is true. However, recently it has been found that there are some bacteria which can inhabit the extreme conditions. They are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles, thermophiles etc.

9. Yes the statement is true. These organisms are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles (which live in high saline conditions), thermophiles (can live in high temperatures) etc.

10. This statement is false as there are many species which have not been discovered yet.
