Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

No. The bee may travel to a different species of plant, so the pollen may not fertilize another flower. The wind can blow the dandelion seeds into an area where they can’t sprout. The squirrel might come back for the seeds it buried in the ground.

If the length of the absolute refractory period in cardiac muscle cells was the same as it is for skeletal muscle cells, _______
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. tetanic contractions might occur, which would stop the heart's pumping action.

Explanation:

The absolute refractory period of the cardiac muscle action potential refers to the time interval when the voltage gated sodium channels are inactivated. The absolute refractory period lasts ~180 msec. The action potential lasts 200-220 msec.

The refractory period of cardiac muscle is dramatically longer than that of skeletal muscle. This prevents tetanus from occurring and ensures that each contraction is followed by enough time to allow the heart chamber to refill with blood before the next contraction.

In order words, It is important for the cardiac muscle cells to have a longer refractory period, because if they were short like the skeletal muscles, the heart could enter tetanic contraction/summation which is when muscle is stimulated so rapidly that it does not have a chance to relax at all between stimuli.

If a person develops chronic lymphocytic leukemia, what leukocytes may be involved and how mature are they in the bloodstream? C
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

anemia- erythrocytes

easy bleeding- platelets

Repeated infections - leucocytes

enlarged lymph nodes- leucocytes

shortness of breath- erythrocytes

excessive bruising- Platelets

Explanation:

Cancer of the lymphocytes is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune system.

Platelets are tiny blood cell fragments that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.

Erythrocytes are red blood cells that travel in the blood. They carry oxygen from the lungs to the body and bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be expelled.

Leucocytes- White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.
