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

Biology

konstantin123 [22]3 years ago

<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>

The FedEx of the cell are the vesicles. Vesicles are the structures in which many cell materials are packed and transported. Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer and they function as cellular envelopes to transport cell materials from one place to another inside the cell. An example of one material is protein. After a particular protein has been synthesized in the ribosomes of the cell, it is packaged in a vesicle called a transport vesicle. The vesicle carries this package to the Golgi apparatus for final tweaking after which it is again repacked in a new vesicle which transports it to its required destination in the cell.

The PCR technique requires a DNA polymerase from an organism that can endure high heat, such as Thermus aquaticus. What step of
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Extension

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction is given by Kary Mullis and it contains three steps denaturation, annealing, and extension. In denaturation, the temperature is raised to 96° c so that the DNA can denature.

In annealing, the temperature gets reduced to 55°c so that the primer can bind to the complementary sequence. In extension, Taq polymerase is used to extend the new strand.  

This enzyme is isolated from thermophilic bacteria and the temperature here is raised to 72°c so that the enzyme can extend the primer and make the complementary strand. So the right answer is extension.
