OPTIONS:
a) Blood delivers calcium and phosphate ions that are needed for building bone extracellular matrix.
b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.
c) Blood carries newly absorbed nutrients and water to the liver.
d) Blood circulates cells and chemicals that carry out immune functions.
e) Blood delivers clotting factors and WBCs that aid in hemostasis when skin is damaged
Answer:
b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.
Explanation:
Options a, c, d, e are all true statements about the contributions of the cardiovascular system to other body systems except option b which states that “Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs”.
Actually, the cardiovascular system works together with the respiratory system to supply oxygen to body tissues as blood is circulated in the body, while carbon dioxide is removed from the body at the lungs. <em>In order words, carbon dioxide is removed, while oxygen is picked up as blood is transported through the capillaries of the lungs.
</em>
The major organ of the circulatory system that causes blood to flow through the body by its pumping action is the heart.
The answer is lower because having to return to a pre disturbance size will likely affect its genetic variation to be lower compared to the original population where in its genetic variation will be greater compared to those in pre disturbance size.
Secretion helps in moistening the food, making it easier to swallow and preventing oral infections.
Answer:
Biologists measure the number of trophic levels in an ecosystem so as to check its stability and health.
Explanation:
Trophic levels are the feeding position in a food chain such as primary producers, consumers, etc. They are positions that an organisms occupies in a food chain (series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating or being eaten);- what it eats and what eats it.
Theoretically there is no any limit to the number of trophic levels in a food chain or number of organisms that live on each level.
