Answer:

Approximately 25 arteries would branch off

Explanation:

Aorta has a diameter of 2 cm, so area is pi x 1^2 = 3.142

In case of the artery, pi x 0.2^2 = 0.126

So dividing total area of aorta by total area of one artery, we get 3.142/0.126 = 25.021

Hence, about 25 arteries will be needed to carry the amount of blood that flows in the aorta vessel.

Option B is false because the cell cannot be a bacterial cell. This is because a bacterial cell does not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed inside the cytoplasm.

Option C is correct because all the organelles, a cytoskeleton, mitochondrion, nucleus, cell wall, and ribosomes, are present inside the plant cells.

What were three impacts on modern animals that came from the Cambrian Explosion?
lidiya [134]
The Cambrian explosion was a period at the Pre-Cambrian boundary of the geologic time scale at 542 Ma. At this boundary, the fossil record shows that animals suddenly appeared in a dramatic radiation of life. A radiation is the relatively rapid development of new types of organisms that derive from a common ancestor. The Cambrian explosion is important because it marks the origination of all major animal groups called phyla.
