An alternative method for examining the effects of fatty acids on blood flow would be to measure changes in blood pressure. If b

lood pressure were measured, one would predict that it would be lowest in which of the following?
Capillaries

Answer:

As the blood pressure in each of the blood vessels is measured, it can be predicted to be lowest in the capillaries.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Artery.</em>
  • <em>Arteriole.</em>
  • <em>Capillaries.</em>
  • <em>Venule.</em>
  • <em>Vein.</em>

Once the blood leaves the heart, it is distributed in a network of arterial vessels -arteries and arterioles- that bridge the venules and veins through the capillaries. Blood pressure depends on the pumping strength of the heart and the force that blood produces on the vessel walls. There is a marked difference between arterial and venous pressure. Some conclusions can be drawn from this:  

  • <em>Blood pressure is higher the closer the vessel is to the heart. </em>
  • <em>The larger the vessel, the more blood is contained and the more blood pressure is recorded. </em>

Based on this, it can be deduced that the blood vessels with the lowest pressure are the capillaries, with very thin walls and where gas and nutrients or metabolites enter and leave the vessel.

The question gives an answer, but does not explain why.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The derived unit of pressure is newton per metre square (Pa). It is a derived unit because it's obtained by adding two or base quantities.

The symbol is Pa and the expression in terms of SI base units is m-¹kgs-²

Complementary DNA? please help​
topjm [15]

Answer: From top to bottom- T, C, G, A, T, A, T

Explanation:

These are the nitrogenous bases that make up a part of nucleotides in DNA.

There are 4 bases in DNA:

- Adenine

- Guanine

- Thymine

- Cytosine

The bases pair together from A to T and G to C, the way I remember is just reading it as AT GC and it works for me, but you make want to make an acronym if it helps you remember better.

As a result, all you have to do is type in the corresponding base to form the correct base pairs.
