Describe the flow of blood in the human body, including through each of the four chambers of the heart.

Well , the humans have a closed double circulatory system as the blood passes by the heart twice per one cycle and doesn't leave the blood vessels like in insects.
》Pulmonary circulation : Blood is circulated to the lungs where it is oxygenated.
》Systemic circulation : Blood is circulated through all the other parts of the body where it unloads oxygen.

Oxygenated blood coming from the lungs enters the heart through the pulmonary vein which takes blood to the first chamber it meets ; the Left atrium. Left atrium pumps blood to the second chamber , which is left ventricle and during this time , the semi lunar valves are closed to prevent back flow of blood and the bicuspid valve will be open . Now , the left ventricle is filled with oxygenated blood so it will pump this blood to the whole body via the largest artery which is Aorta.
Oxygenated blood will unload oxygen to cells in need of it and will return back now to the heart as deoxygenated . This deoxygenated blood will enter the heart through superior and inferior vena cava which will take the blood to the third chamber , right atrium . Right atrium will pump blood to right ventricle so the semi lunar valves will be closed during this time and the tricuspid will remain open. Now that the fourth chamber is filled with deoxygenated blood , it will pump this blood through pulmonary artery when the semi lunar valves opens , to the lungs again to be oxygenated once more.

Notice that you have to know exactly the position of the valves that I have mentioned in the heart so that you could understand the blood flow better. You can refer to any heart labelled diagrams in your textbook or the internet.

Amylose is a form of starch made up of α glucose monomers that are bound by 1-4 linkages. How would the molecule be affected if

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

It would become the same as another of starch component similar glycogen. Amylose as you mentioned have 1-4 bonds but glycogen have 1-6 bonds. Glycogen is more branched and this makes it less soluble in water. also it is used as a storage medium only and it is not easily digested. Just the level of complexity would have increased. solubility would have lessened

In a praticular breed of cattle, a black coat is dominant over a red coat. If a cow with a red coat is crossed with a black bull

steposvetlana [31]

You are correct :) Red coat's genotype would be tt and the black bull's genotype would be Tt. You put those in a punnett square, and you'd get 2 tt's and 2 Tt's. Hope this helps! :D

Why did the five-kingdom system of classification fall out of favor?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Answer is B. It did not reflect the actual evolutionary relationships among organisms very well.

Explanation:

The five-kingdom system of classification was initiated or formed by Robert H. Whittaker in 1969. And it involved the Kingdoms monera, fungi, protista, animalia and plantae.

This classification system was regarded as not so good because of placement of some certain organisms. For example, in the classification system, unicellular algae were put under the kingdom protista, when other multicellular organisms like algae were being classified under the kingdom Plantae.

What is biotechnology explain?

Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product).

All materials within ecosystems can be recycled.

netineya [11]

Answer:

All the things expect enegry are recycled.

Explanation:

When the decomposer decomposes the organic substances than they are taken by plants in the form of nutrition and minerals. Likewise, the food prepared by the plants are taken by animals and the nutrition is recycled.
The oxygen and carbon dioxide cycle is also recycled. When the animals releases carbon then the plants take it and gives out the oxygen. In this way oxygen and carbon dioxide cycle is also maintained in nature.

But incase of enegry it cannot be recycled but frequently transfered from one form to another form.

hope it helps..
