<h2>Answer:</h2>

c. In order to get required amount of oxygen, the <u>organs require constant supply of blood</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The major components of the organ system is nothing but the organs. If they perform well, then only the entire organ system functions properly in turn this facilitates normal functioning of the body.

For proper functioning of the organs, oxygen act as key supplements. This oxygen is carried out throughout the body the blood. Without the blood the organ cannot get sufficient oxygen required for their metabolic activity.

Thus, constant supply of blood to the organ is required for the proper functioning of the body.

A person who sprints for 45 seconds obtains most of his or her energy from _______. multiple choice

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

A person who sprints for 45 seconds will obtain most of his or her energy from muscle glycogen.

<h3>Energy metabolism during sprints</h3>

During sprinting or highly intense exercise activities, blood glucose is rapidly consumed. Rapid consumption of blood glucose may breach the blood glucose set point.

In order to maintain blood glucose homeostasis, glucose stored as glycogen in the muscles is converted back to glucose. The glucose is then utilized to produce ATP for the sprint or exercise.

Thus, a person who sprints for 45 seconds will have to obtain most of their energy from the glycogen stored in the muscles.

Answer: Colon cancer

Explanation:

All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.

Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.

Explanation:

Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.

CO2 is not combustible.
creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)
