Answer:
Glycerol and fatty acids are the basic building blocks of fats (lipids).
Explanation:
Answer:
A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.
Explanation:
<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.
One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.
The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase
<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>
The correct option is A.
Skeletal and cardiac muscles are known as striated muscles, because the filaments of actin and myosin that power their contraction are organized into repeating arrays, called sarcomeres, that have a striated microscopic appearance.
Answer:
CO2 is supplied by mammals and other living animals exhaling, producing CO2 this is absorbed through their leaves, and stems
H2O is supplied by the water cycle, nearby rivers, oceans, creeks etc. This is soaked up through their roots. Excess sugars are also stored in the roots as food.
Sunlight is provided in the atmosphere and the chlorophyll absorbs this.
Explanation:
Answer:
They are sympatric species.
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is the presence of two species with same surviving ancestral species in the same geographic area. Sympatric species have numerous characteristics that are common in the same geographical area. They have same evolutionary path therefore they are anatomically similar too.
