Which one of the following statements about the cell cycle is correct?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "Most cells in the human body are in G0".

Explanation:

G0 is the phase of the cell cycle at which the cells are in a quiescent state. Basically, this is considered as a "normal" state for the cells, because at this point the cells are neither dividing nor preparing to divide. Most cells in the human body are in G0, because most cells in the body are fully differentiated, particularly adult neuronal cells.

Blood flow is regulated in all three types of blood vessels through ____________ and dilation.
IrinaK [193]

*Blood flow is regulated in all three types of blood vessels through constriction and dilation.

*Contraction of blood vessels slows blood flow, while relaxation of blood vessels, or dilation, allows free flow of blood.

*Muscle fibers control the constriction and dilation of vessels. In the capillaries, rings of muscle called capillary sphincters control blood flow.

*The directional flow of blood in the veins is controlled with valves , which prevent backward blood flow when closed, and allow blood to flow only toward the heart when open.

Vasoconstriction and vasodilatation allow blood vessels (arteries and veins) to control blood flow and thus control the blood pressure. This is possible because of the smooth muscle cells that surround the vessels. The contraction and dilatation of those muscles is controlled by chemical signals (e.g. norepinephrine constricts the vessels, while NO dilates them).

The level of oxygen in the air is measured in a garden and on a city road. Which location has a higher level of oxygen and why?
motikmotik
A garden has a higher level of oxygen compared to a city road. A garden has plants and trees. Plants produce oxygen and sugars from carbon dioxide. A city road is composed of industrial buildings, vehicles, humans, and animals. They consume oxygen that is why the oxygen content is lesser on a city road.
