What makes platelet?

Biology

Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago
3 0
From previous knowledge, I believe platelets are NOT true cells. However, they bite off pieces of larger cells in the bone marrow. 

Platelets are inside blood, along with other substances such as hormones, glucose, dissolved proteins, minerals, salts, red blood cells, and white blood cells.

Evgesh-ka [11]
Correct answer: D

A pollen is where male gametes are produced and so the number of chromosomes, as we are talking about gametes, is n. This means that the grain of pollen will only have a copy of each gene, and therefore only one allele for each gene - one S, and one T or t. So, the possible combinations are ST and St.

Two people are exercising at a gym. Person X notices a burning sensation in several muscles, while person Y does not feel any di
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Person X is feeling a burning sensation in several muscles<u> because of the accumulation of lactic acid due to inadequate oxygen in their system.</u> When oxygen becomes inadequate during exercises, anaerobic respiration takes place to augment the oxygen shortage and this leads to the production of lactic acid which accumulates up in the muscles and gives a burning sensation.

  C_6H_1_2O_6 --> 2C_3H_6O_3

Person Y does not feel any burning sensation in their muscles <u>because oxygen is adequate in their system and they do not need to respire anaerobically.</u> <em>Person X exercise regime must have been more rigorous than that of person Y.</em>

Elan Coil [88]

The true statement about the relationship between true moss sporophytes and gametophytes is: (d) Sporophytes are parasites of gametophytes.

Sporophyte is the part of the life cycle in plants where the plants are asexual and in diploid phase of their life. The plants produce spores during this stage. In vascular plants sporophyte is the dominant stage of life.

Parasites are the organisms that live inside or outside an organism and depend upon that organism for their food as well. Apart from extracting food, the parasites also provide some kind of harm to the host they live in. Sporophytes are called parasites because they directly developed from the fertilized egg in archegonia.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Considering that the mature sporophytes of true mosses get their nutrition from the gametophytes on which they grow, and considering these generations as individual plants, what is true of the relationship between true moss sporophytes and gametophytes?

a. Sporophytes are endosymbionts of gametophytes.

b. Sporophytes are mutualists of gametophytes.

c. Sporophytes are commensalist of gametophytes.

d. Sporophytes are parasites of gametophytes.

Which of the following cause the ventricles to contract?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

D. All of the above

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;

1. Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.

2. Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.

Cardiac output can be defined as the volume of blood that is being pumped by the mammalian heart through the left and right ventricle per unit time (minute).

The following conducting systems of the heart cause the ventricles to contract;

I. Atrioventricular (AV) node: it's a component of the electrical conduction system of the mammalian heart located in the Koch triangle which connect the ventricles and atria electrically.

II. Atrioventricular (AV) bundle: it's a specialized tissue that transmits electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node to the Purkinje fibres of the ventricles.

III. Purkinje fibers: it's a network of specialized cells that comprises of glycogen and they transmit cardiac action potentials in a rapid manner from the atrioventricular (AV) bundle to the myocardium of the ventricles.

Furthermore, the right atrioventricular valve (AV) also referred to as the tricuspid valve is located on the right dorsal side of the human heart. The right atrioventricular valve (AV) comprises of three (3) leaflets (flaps) which opens and closes in order to allow for the flow of blood from the right atrium of the human heart to the right ventricle. Also, the right atrioventricular valve is saddled with the responsibility of preventing blood from flowing backward in the mammalian heart.
