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]3 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.

How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond is the organism was placed in seawater
morpeh [17]

The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.

In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.
