Answer:

Cells vary greatly in shape These shapes are often related to the function they perform. like the disk shape of erythrocytes can absorb and transport oxygen due to increased surface area., the amoeboid shape of leukocytes allow them to squeeze through capillaries. etc.

Explanation:

Cells can be disc-like , polygonal, rectangular, cubopid thread like branched or even irregular. these are related to the functions that each cell performs.

Some examples showing relation between cell shape and function are as follows.:

Human blood cells are circular and biconcave to transport oxygen.
White blood cell are amoeboid to squeeze through thin capillaries.
Nerve cells are long so that they can carry nerve impulse to a long distance very quickly.
Guard cells of stomata are bean or dumbell shaped to open and close the stomata.

We breathe more quickly and deeply when we exercise. Why does this make sense? Select all that apply. a) Because when we exercis

storchak [24]

Answer:

a) Because when we exercise, we hydrolyze more ATP to ADP and Pi, and O2 is necessary for the hydrolysis, so we increase our intake of oxygen.

c) Because when we exercise, we produce more CO2 and increased ventilation is necessary to rid ourselves of CO2.

d) Because when we exercise, we use more ATP, and additional O2 is necessary to generate sufficient ATP.

Explanation:

During exercise , our body needs more energy in the form of ATP. This ATP comes from break down of food materials in the mitochondria of the cell during cellular respiration. With the addition of oxygen, more ATP is produced during respiration and this ATP is used by the body. With ATP, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste material which can be removed by exhaled out during breathing.

Which two kinds of information can scientists gather using radar?

makkiz [27]

The correct answers are C. Amount of rainfall, and D. Wind speed.

Explanation

Radars are instruments that were created by humans to detect objects, people, places, among others, through signals. Radars are devices used in different fields such as war, aviation, climatology, geography, among others. One of the best known is the Doppler radar, which is a climatological tool that is used to detect the intensity, size, quantity, and direction of rainfall. Likewise, rainfall is influenced by the direction and speed of the wind, data that can also be obtained using this tool. One of the purposes for which this object was created was the early detection of natural phenomena related to rains, and winds such as hurricanes, electric storms, hail, among others. Therefore, the two objects that scientists can obtain with a radar are C. Amount of rainfall, and D. Wind speed.
