Answer:

The correct answer would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The main function of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body. In addition, it transports carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs from where it is exhaled out.

RBCs contain iron containing biomolecule termed as hemoglobin. It can bind to oxygen as well as carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gases in a cell.

For example, at the alveolar site, the partial pressure of oxygen is high which increases the efficiency of hemoglobin towards oxygen. Oxygen then binds with hemoglobin in a reversible manner to form oxyhemoglobin.

At the cellular site, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher as compared to that of oxygen. Consequently, oxygen is released and hemoglobin binds with carbon dioxide to form carbamino-hemoglobin.

Megan observes four cells under a microscope and makes sketches of them as shown. Identify whether the cells are prokaryotic or
posledela
I cannot found the images of the microscopy anywhere. But I can explain how you can differentiate a procaryote from a eucaryote under a microscope.

The first difference between them is the size of the cell. eucaryotes are generally much bigger than procaryotes. Procaryotes are visible only at x100 objective, but eucaryotes are visible starting from the x10 zoom.

The second difference is the presence of a nucleus in eukaryotes and the absence of it in procaryotes.

The third difference is the presence of organelles in eukaryotes and the presence of a cell wall in procaryotes (only visible at electronic microscopy).

Answer:

The lining of the uterus thickens

Explanation:

Only the healthiest egg will eventually mature. (On rare occasions, a woman may have two eggs mature.) The rest of the follicles will be reabsorbed into your body.

The maturing follicle sets off a surge in estrogen that thickens the lining of your uterus. This creates a nutrient-rich environment for an embryo to grow.
