A male body contains 5 to 6 liters of blood, whereas a female body contains 4 to 5 liters. why do you think there is a differenc

e between the two? assuming the above is true for your gender (5.5l in males and 4.5l in females), how long would it take for the entire volume to be pumped through your body one time. refer to your calculations for cardiac output and show all of your work.

Answer:

There are several reasons for the difference in the blood volume present in males and females.

Few of them are:

Hormones: presence of testosterone in males promotes erythropoiesis. In addition, presence of estrogen in females inhibits erythropoiesis.

Menstrual loss: Females loss few amount of blood every month through menstrual cycle.

Cardiac output can be calculated by multiplying heart rate with stroke volume.

In healthy male at rest, the heart rate is approximately equal to 70beats per minute and stroke volume is approximately equal to 70-80 ml per minute.

Thus, approximately 5000ml or 5 litre of blood is pumped through the heart per minute.

Though we say that women have lost a lot of blood during menstruation might the cause of low blood volume, but this is not the case.

Testosterone being the male hormone causes an increase in red blood cells production which is responsible for the difference. Testosterone derivatives can also be used to treat anaemia.

<h2>Favorable forward reaction </h2>

Explanation:

  • The very favorable forward reaction means that the reverse reaction is very unfavorable
  • This strong forward reaction driving energy effectively inhibits the depolymerization reaction DNAn + pyrophosphate → dNTP + DNAn-1
  • A response that both absorb heat and decreases entropy will be non-unconstrained (positive ∆G) at all temperatures. A few responses, in any case, have a blend of ideal and horrible properties (discharging heat yet diminishing entropy, or retaining heat yet expanding entropy). The ∆G and suddenness of these responses will rely upon the temperature

Why must sexually reproducing organisms produce sex cells that have half the genetic information (DNA) as they have in all their
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Because offspring with two parents will share half of each parent's DNA.

Explanation:

Sex cells contain half of the genetic information of an organism's regular cells. This is because a sexually-produced organism will be unique; it will share genetic information with both of its parents, rather than be identical to its bearer (like an asexual organism would be). When a sex cell meets another sex cell, their DNA will meet as well and change/adapt to suit the organism. If a sex cell had all the information needed to create an embyro, instead of half, which requires another cell's information to fill the DNA void.... well, it would just do it.

How is erythrocytes an advantage in exchanging and carrying ​
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Shape of Red Blood Cells Erythrocytes are biconcave discs with very shallow centers. This shape optimizes the ratio of surface area to volume, facilitating gas exchange. It also enables them to fold up as they move through narrow blood vessels.
