Answer:

c. Ductus venosus, vena cava, heart, ductus arteriosus, arteries

Explanation:

The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels. In a fetus, the circulation of blood is different from circulation after delivery largely due to the fact that the lungs are not in use, rather, the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord.

Blood from the placenta is carried to the fetus by the umbilical vein. While some of this blood enters the fetal ductus venosus and is carried to the inferior vena cava, some others enter the liver. The blood from the inferior vena cava then moves into the right atrium of the heart. The foramen ovale, an opening between the right and left atrium in the fetus directs most of the blood flow from the right into the left atrium, thereby, bypassing pulmonary circulation. Most of the blood from the right atrium flows into the left ventricle and is pumped through the aorta to the rest of the body.  

Some of the blood from the right atrium however, enters into the right ventricle and is pumped into the pulmonary artery. The ductus arteriosus which is a special connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta in a fetus, directs most of this blood away from the lungs and into the arteries.

Explanation:

Starch:

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consist of various glucose units join together through glycosidic bonds.

Reason why it is not dissolve at room temperature:

When starch is added into water it form granules with cold water and can be soluble by heating.

At a room temperature the starch does not readily decompose to from the solution by decomposing into simple sugar because the activation energy barrier for this reaction can not easily be surmounted at a room temperature.

astra-53 [7]

Answer: Chloroplast

Explanation:

The presence of chloroplast would have been the last organelle which appeared in the eukaryotic cell. Chloroplast helps in photosynthesis which means prepare food from the inorganic compounds.

But here the cell obtains energy from the organic compounds which states that there is no need of chloroplast in the cell as they obtain energy by hetero tropic mode of nutrition.

Hence, chloroplast is the correct answer.
