Which two factors below make rapid and substantial blood loss life-threatening?

Biology
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. loss of blood pressure and loss of oxygen-carrying capacity.

Explanation:

  • Blood is a liquid connective tissue which is the major component responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen to all the cells in the body and for removing carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from all the cells of the body.
  • When there is excessive blood loss, the total volume of blood in the body decreases far below normal. As a result of this the blood pressure (pressure applied by the blood on the walls of the arteries) decreases.
  • This is because the rate at which blood is lost is far more than the rate at which it is produced.
  • The decrease in blood pressure prevents the blood from travelling easily against the gravity, hence it is unable to reach all the regions of the body, thereby depriving many cells of nutrients and oxygen. The waste products are also not efficiently collected from these cells. This causes the cells in the deprived regions to die.
  • Blood carries the most important component required for respiration and metabolism, that is oxygen, in association with haemoglobin molecules. Excessive blood loss causes loss of haemoglobin as well. This can cause reduction in the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Hence the cells of the body are unable to carry out metabolic activities properly due to the dearth of oxygen. This causes the death of cells.
  • Excessive death of cells causes tissues to become non-functional and that can cause organ failure. Multiple organ failure can pose severe threat to life.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

1. Height

2. Girth

Explanation:

The woody plants grow in two manners: the primary growth and secondary growth.

The primary growth is considered the type of growth which increases the height of the plant which involves the apical meristem present at the tip of the shoot.

When the height increases up to its maximum length, then secondary growth begins which add tissues to the side that is it increases the girth by adding bark, secondary xylem and phloem.

Thus, Height and Girth is correct.

How do multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes for a trait
saul85 [17]
There are dominant and recessive alleles. when one allele from each parent combine, there are a couple different possibilities for traits. for example, whenever a parent gives off a dominant allele, you will automatically have that trait because it would have combined with another dominant allele, or it would have overpowered the other recessive alelle. you cam find these different combos by using a punnet square. but also, some traits, such as eyecolor, are determined by incomplete dominance, when the colors of your parents in their greenness combine in to a new color. or, you can have codominance when you have one of each eyecolor of your parents.
