Hello! I figured your question was lacking its options so I went online to find them and here they are:

A. Activated platelets release chemicals that  inhibit blood clot formation.

B. Activated platelets release signaling  molecules that inhibit cell division in  damaged tissue.

C. Activated platelets constrict the blood  vessels, stopping blood flow.

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that  activate more platelets.

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) Activated platelets release chemicals that  activate more platelets.

Explanation:

<u>Positive feedback</u><u> is a mechanism in which a stimulus triggers an intensification of this same stimulus.</u>

When a tissue is damaged, the platelets participate in a process called platelet adhesion that consists of contacting and sticking to the collagen fibers of the connective tissue under the damaged endothelial cells. This platelet adhesion <u>activates</u> the platelets and makes them grow projections to contact and interact with one another, while releasing substances to activate other nearby platelets. The accumulation and the attachment of large numbers of platelets ultimately form a <u>platelet plug</u>.

The answer to question 18 is B - astronomy is a science that studies celestial bodies, and applies work from astrophysics and planetary science. Question 13's answer is D. Weight is the measure of gravitational force on an object and is measured in Newtons. The answer to question 12 is D. The independent variable is the variable the investigator changes to ascertain how this impacts on the dependant variable. The answer to question 11 is B. The classification of magma as basaltic, andesitic or rhyolitic depends on the percentage of silica it contains. The answer to question 10 is B. The particles in metal are held together by metallic bonds which involve closely packed ions and electrons that are free to move about and conduct electricity. The answer to question 3 is D. There are currently more than 24 GPS satellites in orbit, but this is the number that are operational most of the time. The answer to question 2 is B. The dependent variable is affected by the independent variable - it depends on the independent variable.</span>

Answer:

tundra, taiga, temperate grassland, rainforest

Explanation:

Tundra is known to be the coldest of all the biomes due to the high latitudes in which these areas are found. In this biome, the growth of the trees is limited by the low temperatures and the growing season is restricted to the summer season. The taiga is a type of biome composed of forest found in the subarctic areas, it is for that reason that taiga regions are also called boreal forests. Temperate grasslands are areas where grasses are dominant with very variable temperatures depending on the season (i.e. summer to winter seasons). In this biome, trees are relatively uncommon. Finally, the rainforest is the most diverse tree-rich biome where the high temperature and humidity conditions are optimal for life.
