<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Our body contains miles of arteries and arterioles, yet these structures are nothing more than the vascular highways that provide a pathway for the blood. It's only when our blood reaches the tiny capillaries that nutrients and wastes can be exchanged. Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that connect the arterioles with the venules. We'll discuss venules later in the lesson.
  • Capillaries are grouped together in capillary beds, which are simply a network of capillaries. Capillary beds are too small to see, but if you could see them, they would look like endless alleyways leading to virtually every tissue in our body. The rate of blood flow within a capillary bed is slow because there are so many different alleyways through which blood can travel. This slow speed limit, along with the very thin walls of the capillaries, means that capillary beds are an ideal place for the exchange of gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes between the blood and tissue cells.
  • Hence, the right answer is option b "two capillary beds".

uhm i have 5 questions due in an hour so please help. It's 45 points and they're all abt biology btw~
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

the point of science is to disprove hypothesis so having a hypothesis that doesn't allow that to happen is not good science

2. they don't fit in our mouths so are a trait from when we had larger jaws

3. bones of your lower jaw, middle ear and voice box (they aren't actually gills fyi, they just look like them)

4. likely yes as their bones were hollow but likely only able to fly short distances, the thought was that they couldn't do their size and weight but with hollow bones they were able to like a quail would

5. no because they could be sister taxa, you would have a hard time proving exactly that this new fossil is the common ancestor that birds came from to replace the old hypothesis (guess) of which one did.

What causes the patterns of convection cycles in the lithosphere?<br> DETAIL ( 2 SENTENCES )
Dahasolnce [82]
Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. In fact, oceanic lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer for the convection[9] in the mantle. The thickness of the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere can be approximated as a thermal boundary layer that thickens as the square root of time.
