The circulation time of a mammal (that is, the average time it takes for all the blood in the body to circulate once and return

to the heart) is proportional to the fourth root of the body mass of the mammal. (a) Write a formula for the circulation time, T, in terms of the body mass B. Use k as the constant of proportionality. T= k(B) (b) If an elephant of body mass 5230 kilograms has a circulation time of 148 seconds, find the constant of proportionality, k. Round your answer to one decimal place. k= Number (c) What is the circulation time of a human with body mass 60 kilograms? Round your answer to the nearest integer. The human circulation time is about Number seconds.

Answer:

(a) T = k(B)^1/4

(b) k is 17.4

(c) The human circulation time is about 49 seconds

Explanation:

(a) The circulation time T is directly proportional to the fourth root of the body mass B

Mathematically, T = k(B)^1/4

(b) When T = 148 s, B = 5230 kg

K = T/(B)^1/4 = 148/(5230)^1/4 = 148/8.5 = 17.4

(c) T = k(B)^1/4

k = 17.4, B = 60 kg

T = 17.4(60)^1/4 = 17.4×2.8 = 48.72 = 49 s (to the nearest integer)

Most cells are small. when they reach a certain size, cells typically divide. this has to do with the
Allisa [31]
This has to do with SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. For a typical small cell, its surface area to the volume ratio get smaller as the cell grows. This implies that, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, then the amount of nutrients that entered the cell will be limited, that is , nutrients will not be able to migrate into the cell as needed. To avoid this, the cell has to divide to reduce its surface to volume ratio.<span />

In which main regions of the kidney are the glomerulus and the bowman’s capsule located?
docker41 [41]

Answer: The correct answer is cortex

Explanation:

The glomerulus and the bowman’s capsule are both located in the Cortex, one of the two main regions of the kidney, alongside the Medulla.

The glomerulus is a mass of blood capillaries linked to urinary tubule, while the Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure. The glomerulus filters materials such water, urea, glucose ET into the bowman's capsule in a process called ultrafiltration, a necessary step in urine formation.
