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.

Penicillin is Choose one: A. produced by a mold and was discovered accidentally. B. a human-designed antibiotic, synthesized to
NeX [460]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that is derived from the fungal species of Penicillium molds especially the<em> Penicillium notatum</em>.  The penicillin acts by disrupting the formation of the cell wall and thus prevents the growth of the bacteria.

The discovery of penicillin was accidental when he was studying the petridish of staphylococcus and he found that due to avoidance while the experiment, molds grew in the petridish.  The area around the mold was clear and clear rings without the bacteria were easily observed. This lead to the discovery of the penicillin compound.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits the nucleus in a<br> clear, defined path.
Alex777 [14]

FALSE

In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits around the nucleus is NOT in a clear, defined path.

Explanation:

According to modern atomic models, like the Bohr theory, it is difficult to know the exact location and path of an electron around the nucleus. This is partly because the mere act of observing the electrons changes its position. This is because the electrons have negligible mass and therefore ‘hitting’ them with any form of radiation for ‘illumination’ changes its position, behavior, and properties. In addition, the movement of electrons is very rapid such that by the time one observes the instantaneous location of an electron, if it was possible, it will have changed its position.

Therefore modern theories, such as VSPER, model atoms based on properties of where an electron will highly likely be found. This is how the shells and subshells of electrons (s, p, d, f) are modeled.
