Answer:
C) Release of von Willebrand factor (vWF) from the endothelium, not the epithelium.
Explanation:
Hemostasis is the physiological process of reparation and maintenance of a blood vessel to stop excess loss of blood in case of vascular injury. This process occurs in four stages:
- Vascular Injury i.e. a breach in the endothelial barrier. This results in the dislodge of endothelial cells, exposing the collagen fibers underneath.
- Vascular constriction or vasoconstriction is the constriction of the blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss.
- Platelet plug formation involves the aggregation and adhesion of platelets to the endothelium.
- Coagulation
Platelet plug formation occurs by the adhesion of circulating platelets to the collagen fibers that have been exposed by dislodging of the endothelial cells. The endothelium, as well as the platelets release a ligand known as the von Willebrand factor (vWF). This molecule acts as a relay or bridge between the integrin receptors on the platelets and the exposed collagen fibers.
Platelets also release chemicals to attract more platelets to the wound site, resulting in more vWF release. This results in more and more platelets adhering to the endothelium, leading to platelet plug formation.
Answer:
muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner
Explanation:
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells and serve as a site for the aerobic stage of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is complete oxidation of nutrients in the presence of oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules. Therefore, the cells that require more ATP molecules as an energy source would most likely have a greater number of mitochondria.
Muscle cells are responsible for body movement. Muscle cells in the legs of a runner would require a constant supply of ATP during running since muscle contraction requires ATP. To sustain the continuous muscle contraction during the marathon, the muscle cells in the legs of the runner would have most number of mitochondria.

Mainly to make life easier.
if one layer changes than scientists don't need to change all of their data.
it also helps keep organized.

Answer:
(D) Block RNA and DNA synthesis.
Explanation:
Antibiotics conquer foreign bodies and germs through the process of Phagocytosis, nicknamed cell eating. this basically a process involving the surrounding of the invading cell and pentrating through the Cell wall and thus weakening the cell's overall structure.
