The answer is sympathetic. It is one of two components of the autonomic nervous system; the other being parasympathetic. The other function of the sympathetic system is to maintain body homeostasis. Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter in the preganglionic sympathetic neurons while noradrenaline (norepinephrine) is the main neurotransmitter in the postganglionic sympathetic neurons.

How do the respiratory and circulatory depend on each other for gas exchange?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Haemoglobin in the red blood cells which is one of the components of the circulatory medium, the blood, has a great affinity for oxygen hence transports it around the body during circulation. It is the circulatory system that carries both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body, between the lungs and the heart. The circulatory system takes blood with carbon dioxide to the lungs where oxygen that entered into the body through the nostrils will be exchanged with carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Consequently carbon dioxide will go out of the body through the nostrils via the trachea and haemoglobin in the red blood cells in the blood( blood capillaries) will

carry oxygen which is transported around the body.

Select the correct answer. Which statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule? A. The hydrogen end of the mol
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

option B) The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge.

Justification:

The electronegativity of an element accounts for its relative ability to attract electrons.

Being oxygen more electronegative than hdyrogen (the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 while the electronegativity of the hydrogen is 2.20), the electron density will be displaced toward the oxygen, letting it with a partial negative charge and the hydrogen with a partial positive charge.

Finally, since the charge is not symmetrical distributed around a center of the molecule, the molecule ends being polar.

A red-tailed hawk swoops down and captures a young rabbit feeding on dandelions growing in a park. the relationship between the
Rudiy27
The hawk, a carnivore (animal meat-eater), is predating on the rabbit, an herbivore (plant-eater). So the hawk can be seen as the predator and the rabbit as the prey.
But another type of relationship important in Ecology is consumers. So producers are the plants that feed a food web. That makes the rabbits the primary consumers (herbivores) of these plants. Then the hawks become the secondary consumers (carnivores) of the primary consumers, by eating the herbivores.
Hope that this makes sense!

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are
labwork [276]

Answer:

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are more organized and condensed.

Explanation:

Chromatin is genetic material packaged into a complex by special proteins (histones). That complex is in the form of uncoiled structures, so chromatin fibers are long and thin. Chromatin structure is permissive to DNA replication, transcription and recombination events.

On the other hand, chromosomes are highly condensed structures of genetic material that are formed just before the cell division.
