<span>Mangrove forests cannot withstand freezing temperature that is why they can only grow at tropical and subtropical latitudes whereas salt marshes grow in middle to high latitudes. Mangrove forests can be recognized by their tangle of roots that allow them to stand still on stilts above water. The roots of the mangrove trees slow the movement of tidal waters causing the sediments to settle out of water and build up the muddy bottom. For salt marshes, they are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by salt water brought by tidal waves. The difference between the two is that mangrove forests are woodlands and salt marshes are coastal wetlands. </span>

Explain the different levels of cellular organization.
JulijaS [17]

There are 5 different levels of cellular organization.

Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems and whole organisms. Cells hold genetic material and absorb outside energy.

Tissues make up the bones, nerves and connective fibers of the body. Organs work to perform specific bodily tasks, such as filtering blood. Organ systems are groups of organs that perform a specific kind of function together, such as digesting food.

Together, these smaller systems make up an entire living organism which can grow and then go onto reproduce.

From which of the following does the right atrium receive blood?
olga2289 [7]

The right atrium receives blood returning from others parts of the body through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava.  

Explanation:

The pathway of circulation begins in the right atrium which receives the carbon dioxide-rich deoxygenated blood returning through the systemic circulation.  

The deoxygenated blood from regions superior to the heart, i.e., the head, neck, shoulder areas are collected through the superior vena cava and that from the parts inferior or lower to the heart like visceral organs, extremities, trunk, hip etc are brought through the inferior vena cava.

Both these venous systems (superior and inferior) fill the right atrium.

The right atrium then pumps the deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve.

The right atrium is filled with blood during diastole.
