The order of blood pressure in blood vessels would be letter "D. veins < capillaries < arteries". The arteries carry the blood towards the veins and has relatively thicker walls because of high pressure. The vein carry blood from capillaries back to the heart.

The order of blood pressure in major types of blood vessels from least pressure to greatest is d) veins < capillaries < arteries.

Arteries receive blood directly from the heart and the pressure of blood in arteries is very high. This is the reason why their walls are thick and elastic so that they could withstand this high blood pressure without being punctured. Arteries carry blood away from the heart towards various tissues. Arteries further distribute blood to various capillaries which have comparatively low blood pressure. Veins on the other hand are the type of blood vessels which carry blood from various tissues towards the heart. The blood pressure in the veins is lowest among all these blood vessels.

Answer:

B. oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, organisms uses oxygen for breakdown of food molecules such glucose and carbondioxide gas is released in the atmosphere. Respiration is a process in which energy is produced in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP) and releases carbondioxide by the chemical combination of glucose and oxygen molecules. The type of respiration in which oxygen is used is known as aerobic respiration.

Discuss the implications of each of the following three suggestions that were put forward to overcome the high sulphur dioxide e
Pachacha [2.7K]
1. shut down the factory
This is a suggestion that will not be implemented simply due to the fact that the factory is likely to be bringing profits and meeting the requirements of a specific product or products. Shutting the factory down will mean great losses, which makes this suggestion non-feasible.

2. Move the factory out of the city
First, "moving" a factory is not as easy as it sounds. For a factory to be set up, many factors are considered such as the availability of raw materials and transport cost. Moreover, the emissions will still not be lessened if the factory is simply moved.

3. Increase the height of the factory's chimney
If these emissions are harming the nearby environment, this suggestion will help to reduce those effects. However, the negative effects will inevitably occur if there is a high level of emission of sulfur dioxide occurring, such as acid rain. Therefore, this does not solve the problem, only changes its nature.

What are the functions of micronucleus and macronucleus in paramecium?
Ostrovityanka [42]
The macronucleus is the larger elipse-shaped nucleus and takes care of functions like respiration and digestion. In contrast to this, the smaller micronucleus is only involved in cell division or reproduction.

A 12 pound shot put and a small metal BB are dropped from a tall tower, inside a vacuum chamber,
hichkok12 [17]

Given what we know, we should observe the objects falling at the same speed in both the tower and vacuum scenarios, but not in the water.

<h3>What affects the speeds at which these objects fall?</h3>
  • The falling speeds in both air and a vacuum will be the same for both objects.
  • This is because falling speed is determined by gravity and is independent of the mass of the objects falling.
  • The same will occur in water if and only if the densities of the two objects are equal.

Therefore, given that we can safely assume that the densities of the two objects are different from one another, we can confirm that while the objects will fall at the same speed in air and in a vacuum, this will not be the case in the deep pool.
