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.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct is B Hormones are chemical signals between cells transported in blood or hemolymph.

Explanation:

Hormones are called chemical messenger of the cell because they transmit chemical information from one cell to the target  cell and regulating the functioning of that target cell by activating specific proteins related to the functioning of that target cell.

          Hormone is secreted from its source gland such as Pituitarygland, thyroid gland,adrenal gland.After being secreted hormones are transported via the blood stream to the target cell and binds to receptor of that target cell thus allowing the target cell to exert its biological function.

A cross was made between a white male dog and two different black females. the first female gave birth to eight black pups, and
Svetradugi [14.3K]

In this case, the black body colour is the dominant one. The white dog is  homozygous recessive.

As the cross between the black female 2 and the white male results in all black pups. This means that the all the offsprings are heterozygotes and the Female 1 is homozygous recessive having a BB phenotype (where B codes for dominant allele).

As the cross between the black female and the white male results in four white and three black pups. This means that the all the black offsprings are heterozygotes, and the white ones are homozygous recessive and the Female 2 have a dominant and 1 recessive gene, and is a hetrozygotezygous recessive having a Bb phenotype (where B codes for dominant allele and b codes for recessive allele).

Primary consumers depend on energy from plants for survival. Higher consumers depend on energy from primary consumers for surviv
Anni [7]

The correct answer is - B. The number and type of plants in an ecosystem determines the number and type of consumers that can live there.

The plants are producers. They are the basis of the ecosystems on Earth. By consuming the plants, the consumers are able to survive and thrive, thus the food chain develops further up to the predators that are consuming other consumers.

The number of plants and the type of plants determines what type and how many species of consumers can live somewhere. The more plants there are, the more food for the consumers, thus there will be more consumers. The higher the diversification of the plants, the higher the diversification of the consumers will be too, as every plant is unique and specialization for consuming it is needed, thus the consumers will evolve into new species in accordance to the food source.
