Now that you have reviewed normal blood flow, why does a patient with left-sided heart failure have a low systolic blood pressur

Mnenie [13.5K]

The Left-sided Problem of the heart involves the lack of enough supply of oxygen induced blood and the blood which is unable to reach the heart goes to lungs causing breath issues. Another issue with this problem is that left side of the heart pumps blood into the body, so when it fails, less blood will be pumped into the arteries.

In order for evolution to occur, what must happen in a population?

kozerog [31]

For evolution to occur: There must be genetic variation in a population. This provides variation on which natural selection can act. Then natural selection can act by selecting those species which are better adapted to the environmental conditions. Over time those animals that are best suited to the environment only will survive and reproduce. Those organisms successful genes will be preserved and eventually the gene frequency in the population will change, changing the overall characteristics of a population. This is how evolution occurs.

1. List 2 interactions between the earth spheres and the water cycle.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The carbon cycle, as the nitrogen cycle, occurs in all the spheres: Biosphere, Atmosphere, Geosphere and Hydrosphere.

Explanation:

Most Earth events involve interaction between multiple spheres. For example, rain is the movement of water (the hydrosphere) from the atmosphere to the lithosphere where it collects in lakes, rivers, or streams. Water is an important resource for inhabitants of the biosphere.

The Atmosphere-contains all the air in Earth's system. The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. It also absorbs and emits heat. This sphere is also where weather occurs.

The nitrogen cycle occurs in all the spheres and ecosystems. It passes through rocks, water, atmosphere, plants, etc.

In atmosphere and biosphere: Nitrogen is about 78% of the gases in the atmosphere an it’s a essential component of the living organisms. It enters plants through the microorganisms that convert this nitrogen into ammonia. After this conversion, the plants absorb this substance. It can pass to animals when they eat these plants. Then, when they urinate, bacteria convert ammonia to nitrogen again and it returns to the atmosphere.
