Biology
1 answer:
kirill115 [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The statement that is false is C 'it protects the cell in a hypertonic environment'.

Explanation:

The cell wall has no role in protecting a cell in any of the hypertonic or hypotonic environments. In an hypertonic environment, water will flow out of the cell due to the concentration gradient developed and this phenomenon cannot be stopped by any kind of cell wall.

The gram positive cell wall is involved in maintaining the shape of the cell. Studies have also shown the gram- positive cell wall to be sensitive towards lysozyme. Techoic acids are actively present in a gram-positive cell wall. Also, many researches have explained that gram- positive cell wall is sensitive to the antibiotic penicillin. Hence, the statement that is not correct is C "it protects the cell in a hypertonic environment."

Vinvika [58]

OPTIONS:

a) Blood delivers calcium and phosphate ions that are needed for building bone extracellular matrix.

b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.

c) Blood carries newly absorbed nutrients and water to the liver.

d) Blood circulates cells and chemicals that carry out immune functions.

e) Blood delivers clotting factors and WBCs that aid in hemostasis when skin is damaged

Answer:

b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.

Explanation:

Options a, c, d, e are all true statements about the contributions of the cardiovascular system to other body systems except option b which states that “Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs”.  

Actually, the cardiovascular system works together with the respiratory system to supply oxygen to body tissues as blood is circulated in the body, while carbon dioxide is removed from the body at the lungs. <em>In order words, carbon dioxide is removed, while oxygen is picked up as blood is transported through the capillaries of the lungs. </em>
