Identify the structure of the human heart which is a valve that closes during each heartbeat to prevent blood from flowing back

into the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk.

Scilla [17]4 years ago

The answer is pulmonary

valve. The pulmonary valve is found between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The valve is a semi-lunar valve that opens when the pressure in the right ventricle is higher than that in the pulmonary artery (because the ventricle is filled with blood). When the ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery, the pressure in the artery rises while that in the ventricle lowers. This closes the pulmonary valve preventing the backflow of blood into the right ventricle. Pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

Damm [24]

Answer:

This exercise is incomplete. The response options are as follows:

a) e+ ca+

b) e ca

c) e ca+

d) e+ ca

The answer is c) e ca+ and d) e+ ca

Explanation:

The Punnett square is a diagram used by biologists to calculate the probability that an individual has a particular genotype. In the Punnett square, each of the possible combinations for the expression of the dominant and recessive alleles can be observed. In the case of exercise, since a crossing is not possible in men, these will only help later during the combination of the alleles.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plasmodesmata are the plasma membrane lined pores present in the cells of the plants. Inside these pores runs a closed tubelike structure which is an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The plasmodesmata allows cell to cell communication which involves symplast mode of transport that is through its cytoplasm.

The small water soluble molecules like amino acid and sugars can easily pass through these plasmodesmata via diffusion. The large molecules can be transported through these plamodesmata through selective diffusion.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
