What are the smallest blood cells in the frog?

Biology
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Unlike typical mammalian red blood cells, those from amphibians, such as frogs, contain a DNA-bearing nucleus that is visible in the center of the cell. The circulatory system of amphibians is rather unusual, their hearts having three chambers, two atria, and a single ventricle.

NegativePositive

Positive

The design of the amphibian circulatory system is curious because blood accumulates oxygen in the lungs and is then returned to the heart before being pumped into the rest of the circulatory system. Therefore, a mixing between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood occurs as blood returning to the heart from the lungs is mixed with incoming blood from the body. Frogs handle this situation by having a very slow metabolism and by absorbing some oxygen through their skin. In addition, the ventricle does have some directional control over the distribution of the blood.

Negative

The presence of a nucleus in amphibian red blood cells allows researchers easy access to large quantities of amphibian DNA. Frog blood has both a solid and a liquid portion. The liquid plasma carries solid elements such as red and white blood cells. Blood can be collected from frogs and the red blood cells isolated by centrifugation. After removal of the residual plasma, purified cells can be treated with specific enzymes and detergents to digest the cellular envelope and release DNA from its protein complex. The DNA is then useful for scientific studies and experiments.

What problem is solved by the linnaean system of classification
MissTica

Due to the linneaus system of classification scientist were able to identify  organism name , group via standardized system . They have found similarities  in the organism  like DNA / RNA ( genetic composition), embryonic development  etc . so that they can study a organism completely . With the help of this system of classification  scientist were able to give a particular name to a organism which is standardrized in the whole universe. It makes easier to all to identify an organism , otherwise different places have different name for a particular species.

The revolution of earth around the sun and the tilt of earth’s  axis cause the changing of seasons. TRUE

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is slightly tilted at its axis. This causes a change in the amount of sunlight reaching each hemisphere. Due to the tilt one hemisphere will be closer to the sun while the other will be at a greater distance.  When the earth revolves around the sun , the hemisphere that is closer to the sun changes.

The hemisphere closer to the sun will experience summer and the hemisphere away from the sun will experience winter.
