Hypertension is another term for high blood pressure. This occurs when there is too much pressure put on the blood vessels. The heart gets affected because it is pumping against the pressure, which causes strain on the heart. This can cause thickening of the heart walls, which can lead to other heart problems.

Stroke occurs when there blood supply to the brain is reduced or obstructed. This deprives the brain of oxygen and other nutrients. The occurrence of stroke increases with blood pressure because there is persistent pressure on the vessels which can ultimately lead to stroke.

Hypertension, heart disease, and stoke are related because they all have to do with the heart. Hypertension is when you have high blood levels, heart disease is when your heart doesn't work properly, and stoke is when the heart beats hyperactively or the opposite.

Marine ecosystems like lakes and oceans have aphotic zones. Aphotic zones refer to the zones in the water where there is little or no sunlight. It is found in bodies of water were depths only receive less than 1% of sunlight penetrations.

Choose all of the ways that cellular respiration is different from photosynthesis. Select the 4 correct answers. *

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

It uses glucose as a reactant.

It uses oxygen as a reactant.

It makes ATP.

It happens in the mitochondria.

Explanation:

It occurs in cells. - this is false. Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis occur in cells.

It uses glucose as a reactant. - this is true. Cellular respiration uses glucose as a reactant, it is broken down to release energy. Photosynthesis produces glucose.

It uses oxygen as a reactant. - this is true. Cellular respiration uses oxygen as a reactant. In contrast, photosynthesis releases oxygen as a byproduct

It makes ATP. - this is true. Cellular respiration makes ATP. Photosynthesis uses energy to produce the sugar which is used in cellular respiration to synthesise ATP.

It happens in the chloroplasts. - this is false. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, not cellular respiration

It happens in the mitochondria. - this is true. Respiration occurs in the mitochondria, whereas photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.

It involves oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, and water. - this is false, Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration involve oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, and water. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose using carbon dioxide and water. Respiration produces glucose and carbon dioxide using water and carbon dioxide.
