What is the significance of the difference in thickness of the ventricular walls?

Health

brilliants [131]3 years ago

The significance in thickness between the two is due to the different amount of pressure exerted on the walls of the heart. The left ventricle has a thicker wall because the blood must be pumped throughout the entire body (oxygenated blood), unlike the right ventricle, where blood is pumped simply to the lungs to be oxygenated (pulmonary system).

Neko [114]

Answer:

The body utilizes excess amino acids as fuel or stores them as fat

Explanation:

An athlete eats huge quantities of meat in an attempt to develop extra muscle tissue, Amino acid residues are converted to fuel by the body or retained as fat. The addition of extra protein or amino acid supplements to a healthy diet will promote muscle building for the majority of exercisers.

The body's protein needs do increase when actively building muscle. Athletes, and people who want to build muscle, need to increase their protein intake, If you have too much protein it may lead to increased levels of body fat, It is best to distribute the protein you are eating to support the muscle building process.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: The correct answer is (D) Both A and B

Explanation:

When an axon is depolarized at halfway to the threshold level,the action potential will be generated that would travel 'downstream' i.e towards the synapse and 'upstream' i.e back towards the cell body. This is because both channels on either sides are not under refractory period,i.e they are open.

By which process do plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere
Sliva [168]

Answer: A) Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis:<em> </em><em><u>The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water</u></em><em>. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.</em>

Cellular Respiration:<em> </em><u><em>Is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate</em></u><em> (ATP), and then release waste products.</em>

Decomposition:<em> Is the process by which organic substances are</em><u><em> broken down into simpler organic matter</em></u><em>. The process is a part of the nutrient cycle and is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the biosphere. Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death.</em>

Burning Fossil Fuels:<em> </em><u><em>is a fuel formed by natural processes,</em></u><em> such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis. Such organisms and their resulting fossil fuels typically have an age of millions of years, and sometimes more than 650 million years.</em>

(<em>Extra</em>)>Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of <em>photosynthesis</em>, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. Carbon moves from plants to animals.
