8 0

Answer:

1. erythrocyte becomes trapped in the sinusoids of spleen.

2. Spleen macrophages digest the erythrocytes.

3. Hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron and bilirubin.

4. Iron ions and amino acids are recycled to make new hemoglobin in red bone marrow. Bilirubin is sent to liver for excretion.

Explanation

Aging erythrocytes are trapped in the sinusoids of the spleen, where they are digested by macrophages. Within the macrophage, hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron ions, and bilirubin.

Iron ions or heme ion and amino acids then move through the blood to the bone marrow, where they are recycled and used to create new hemoglobin. Bilirubin travels with the help of the blood to the liver, where it is modified and then excreted.

thus, the correct order is :

1. erythrocyte becomesrapped in the sinusoids of spleen.

2. Spleen macrophages digest the erythrocytes.

3. Hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron and bilirubin.

4. Iron ions and amino acids are recycled to make new hemoglobin in red bone marrow. Bilirubin is sent to liver for excretion.

How does a coronal mass ejection (CME) affect the solar wind?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Corona is defined by the strong magnetic fields. When these strong magnetic fields confine solar atmosphere and produces violent bubble of gases then it is said to cause coronal mass ejection (CME).  

When a CME passes through the solar wind, it causes production of high velocity solar energetic particles that follow magnetic field lines and passes through the space between the Sun and the Earth. The charged particle added by CME intensifies the solar wind.  

Hence, option A is correct

AnnyKZ [126]
Competition allows science to advance at a faster pace.

Think of it as an arms race: when a country builds one battleship, their enemy builds two. This continues as both countries try to outdo each other. Competitive science works the same way.

dezoksy [38]

Answer: population, community, ecosystem and biosphere

Explanation:

In ecological organization, the smallest level is Organism level (a unit representative).

Population level comes next after the Organism level. Population refers to the total number of organisms of the same species inhabiting a geographical area.

Then, Community level comes next after population level. A refers to group of plants, animals and other living components functioning in their non-living environment.

Ecosystem level is the next after community level. An ecosystem refers to the aggregate of living organisms interacting with the non-living components in an environment.

Lastly, Biosphere is the highest level in ecological organization. Biosphere refers to the part of the earth where living organisms occupies.
