Answer:

For erythropoesis/ RBC production, anaemia

Explanation:

Our body needs a constant supply of blood. The blood contains haemoglobin which is a respiratory pigment and a conjugated protein. It contains iron and globin protein. This iron-containing pigment supplies more oxygen to the tissues and gives red colour to the blood. The deficiency of iron or this haemoglobin pigment in the blood leads to anaemia. The iron pigment or haem pigment of haemoglobin increases the carrying capacity of oxygen. Our body tissue needs oxygen for metabolism.We get iron from foods and these irons play an important role in RBC production in the bone marrow.

The respiratory system always needs iron. The red blood cells are in charge of the transport of O2. They need iron to do this.

Hope this helps! :)

Ivanshal [37]

Asexual: Offspring arise from single organism
Sexual: Genetic information from two organisms (male and female), where one produces a motile gamete (male) that travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by other (female).
Internal Fertilization: Union of an egg cell with a sperm during sexual reproduction inside the body of a parent.
External Fertilization: The sperm cell reunites with the egg cell in the open, rather than inside the body of a parent.

:) I'm sure you can figure it out from the information I stated above

The fossil record of birds is incomplete because bird skeletons are

Bogdan [553]

Bird skeletons are very delicate, and therefore, difficult to be preserved. The bones of the birds are soft. The small animals are very prone to physicochemical as well as biological decay. This is why the fossil record of bird is incomplete and well-preserved fossils of birds are rare to find, except at a few unusual sites.

Define the following words:

Svet_ta [14]

Answer: cellular membrane: The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Explanation:

passive transport Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes.
