Answer:

The animals present body structure is due to evolution. It is seen in each part including the structure of the heart. The vertebrate heart becomes complex from a simpler form.  

Invertebrates, the heart of fishes is two-chambered having one auricle and one ventricle. The deoxygenated blood gets purified in the gills. They are aquatic and no lungs for breathing. The hearts pump a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the body.  

The amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambered heart as they lead terrestrial mode of life. The gills modified into the lungs.  The left auricle receives pure blood and the right auricle receives deoxygenated blood. The blood purified in the lungs and in the ventricle, both types of blood get a mix. The ventricle pumps the mixed-blood throughout the body.

In the case of birds and mammal, the heart is 4 chambered and the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separated. These two are higher vertebrates. No mix of pure and impure blood, the body receives only the oxygenated blood.

This shows to construct the phylogenetic tree of vertebrates - the fishes should be in the bottom, and above it amphibians, reptiles, then, mammals and birds on the top branch of the tree. As the chambers and structure of the hearts modified one after another.

Go to biology.arizona.edu They have a ton of stuff on blood types. I don’t know if this will help because I’m not in biology yet but I’ve been there and it helped a lot with some stuff. Hopefully that didn’t sound to vague. Have a wonderful day.

Is the correct order in a homeostatic feedback system stimulus, receoptor, control centre, effector?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Homeostatic is nothing but ability of a system or living organism to manipulate its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium, for example the ability of warm-blooded animals to ascertain a constant body temperature.

The Homoeostatic feedback mechanism has three basis components and they are independent to one another.

These components are receptor, effector and integrating center. The function of receptor is to sense external stimuli and send information to integrating center. The integrating center generally hypothalmus in brain sends this signal to effector for example an organ to react to the stimuli.

So, the order  in a homeostatic feedback system stimulus, receoptor, control centre, effector is correct.

Explain how critical thinking helps scientists analyze information for accuracy and bias.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Critical thinking requires scientists to ask questions about information they come across and assess its validity. This facet of critical thinking helps them avoid bias that originates from personal opinion and helps them distinguish information and fact from common belief.
