Why are the ventricles of the heart so much larger than the atria of the heart?

Biology
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
7 0
<span>The ventricles are the part of the heart that are responsible for the pumping action to move blood throughout the body. Therefore, the muscles in the ventricles are much larger and thicker to do their job properly. The atrium only has to pump blood through an open valve (the tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. There is much less resistance to this flow of blood so much less muscle is needed. </span>

What's the main function of the Krebs cycle
kati45 [8]
The main function of the Krebs cycle is to generate energy for the cell. The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle and is part of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that cells use to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use. Cell respiration requires oxygen to take place. Cellular respiration consists of four stages:1. the breaking down of glucose into molecules (glycolysis)2. the link reaction - this process forms a link between glycolysis and the Krebbs reaction3. Krebbs reaction 4. The electron transport chain

6) The Honeydough Bread factory produces 2,000 loaves of bread per day. During bread making, ____________ by yeast produces ____
diamong [38]
During bread making, metabolism of simple sugars by yeast produces carbon dioxide which makes the bread rise. The essential ingredients of bread dough are flour, water and yeast. As soon as these ingredients are stirred together, enzymes in the yeast and the flour cause large starch molecules to break down into simple sugars. The yeast metabolizes these simple sugars and exudes a liquid that releases carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol into existing air bubbles in the dough. If the dough has a strong and elastic gluten network, the carbon dioxide is held within the bubble and begins to inflate it, just like someone blowing up bubble gum. As more and more tiny air cells fill with carbon dioxide, the dough rises, and so we see bread rising.
