Metabolism- This chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to sustain life.
Answer:
- Bird wings and dragonfly wings are both used for flight: Analogous structure
- Clams and snails both have similar muscle structure even though the muscles do different jobs: Homologous structure
- Human and giraffe necks both have 7 vertebrae because we are related: Homologous structure
- The flaps of a Venus flytrap have a similar makeup to oak leaves: Homologous structure
Explanation:
Analogous structures are similar structures that have the same or similar functions in unrelated organisms. Analogous structures aren't the result of evolutionary relationships among organisms (i.e., they were not inherited from a common ancestor). On the other hand, homologous structures are structures inherited from a common ancestor. Homologous structures may or may not have an identical function, but they are the result of evolutionary relationships among organisms and, therefore, they are genetically related.
Answer:
Yes volcanoes erupt different types of magmas
Acidity in human sweat is an example of<u> </u><u>innate immunity</u>
Explanation:
Sweat arising from human skin is acidic in nature with a pH ranging between 4.5 to 7.
As part of innate immunity, the skin acts both as a physical barrier and chemical shield.
As part of chemical shield, the skin’s sebaceous glands present on the skin produces an oily substance called sebum which contains free fatty acids. Further, hair follicles on skin releases lactic acid which bind with the amino acids of the proteins present on the keratinized layers of skin. The acidity of the sweat is due to the combined action of free fatty acids, lactic acid and the amino acids present on the skin.
This natural acidic nature of skin creates a hostile acidic environment to pathogens which prevents their entry into the body.
Answer:
1. The pathway of a red blood cell from the right ventricle to the brain is:
<em>Right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle → artery aorta → arterial vessels → brain
.</em>
2. The substance that forms hemoglobin in red blood cells when it passes through the lungs is oxyhemoglobin.
Explanation:
Red blood cells are structures present in the blood, whose function is to transport oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This process requires travel throughout the body, through the blood vessels, and gas exchange at the pulmonary and tissue level.
1. A red blood cell in the right ventricle contains carbon dioxide and must pass to the lungs to be oxygenated. The route it takes from there includes Right ventricle (minor circulation) → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle → (joining the major circulation) artery aorta → arterial vessels → brain
.
2. The red blood cell or erythrocyte contains a molecule, called hemoglobin, which has an iron core that allows it to bind to O₂ and CO₂ in order to transport them. The affinity for one molecule or another depends on the presence of a certain gas in a certain place.
When the red blood cell passes through the lungs, the concentration of O₂ is higher than CO₂, so the latter is released and O₂ binds to hemoglobin, a conjugation that is called oxyhemoglobin.
