Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, acids are the species that donate protons or (H^{+}).

For example, HCl is a Bronsted-Lowry acid as it releases protons upon dissociation.

                   HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

On the other hand, species that take up or accept a protons or (H^{+}) are known as Bronsted-Lowry base.

For example, NH_{3} + H^{+} \rightarrow NH^{+}_{4}

Therefore, NH_{3} is a Bronsted-Lowry base as it accepts a proton.

What is the correct order of levels of organization in an organism, from the least complex to the most complex?
In-s [12.5K]
The answer is letter D. 

<span>The levels of organization of life from the least complex to most complex are enumerated below:<span>
a. Organelles - the basic part of a living organism. It refers to the different structures of the cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic. (Ex. Mitochondria, nucleus)
b. Cells - building blocks of life that are composed of different molecules responsible for the function of an organism. (Example: prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells)
c. Tissues - combinations of cells that carry out a specific function in an organism. (Example: Human skin)
d. Organs - collections of tissues that perform specific functions. (Ex. heart, lungs)
e. Organ Systems - composed of interconnected organs that function as a whole. Many organisms, particularly mamamals, are composed of organ systems. (Ex. respiratory, circulatory systems)
f. Organisms – individual entities that specifically make-up a population. (Ex. Each tree in the forest is an organism, each animal in sea is an organism)</span></span>
g. Population – species living within a specific location. It could be the same or different species that inhabit a place. (Ex. Birds are species in the forest as well as bears)
h. Community – refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a specific location. (Ex. All of the trees, insects, birds that inhabit the forest are a community)
i. Ecosystem – consists of all living things that function together as a group which also includes the non-living parts of the environment. (Ex. Rain water, nitrogen in the soil)
<span>j. Biosphere – the highest organization of life that consist of all the collection of ecosystems in the planet. It includes the land, air, water, even the atmosphere of the planet. </span>

Lesson Transcript

Instructor: Rebecca Gillaspy
Dr. Gillaspy has taught health science at University of Phoenix and Ashford University and has a degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic.

The amount of blood being pumped through your body changes constantly due to the demands of daily life. In this lesson, you will learn how your body adjusts the heart rate and stroke volume to increase or decrease blood flow.

Cardiac Output

The volume of blood your heart pumps per minute, known as your cardiac output, varies with the demands you put on your body. We previously learned that the cardiac output (CO) is calculated by multiplying the number of heartbeats per minute (which is your heart rate, or HR) times the volume of blood pumped out of the heart with each heartbeat (which is your stroke volume, or SV). So:
cardiac output (CO) = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV)
The cardiac output of your heart is a constantly changing amount that adjusts to any physical or emotional demands you put on your body. In this lesson, we will look at some of the factors that influence your heart rate and stroke volume.

After the egg is fertilized what does the ovary grow into
vfiekz [6]
<span>As the pollen tube penetrates the ovule, it releases two sperm cells. As in gymnosperms, the ovule becomes a seed, encasing the embryo and endosperm in a seed coat. But unlike gymnosperms, in angiosperms the ovary containing the ovules develops into a fruit after fertilization.</span>

Choose the accurate statements about how communication by the nervous and endocrine systems differs. Check all that apply. Check
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The nervous system releases neurotransmitters at synapses at specific target cells & The endocrine system reacts more slowly to stimuli, often taking seconds to days.

Explanation:

The nervous system is very specific with where the neurotransmitters go so they will affect target cells. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because the hormones travel through the blood so it takes much longer to reach the designated area.
