Before Baby A was born, she was not sending much blood to her lungs. Instead, the blood passed through the septal defect into th

e left atrium, which sent it to the left ventricle and to her body. But why didn't the baby die if no blood was going through her lungs?
(A) She was so small that the small amount of blood that did go through her lungs was enough
(B) She was getting her oxygen from placenta, not from breathing
(C) Before the last trimester, babies use anaerobic respiration, so she did not need oxygen
(D) She sent her blood out into her mother's body and through her mothers lungs instead

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B) "She was getting her oxygen from placenta, not from breathing".

Explanation:

In order to get the oxygen we need to live is necessary that the blood gets through our lungs. If an unborn baby has a problem that does not allow her to get blood to her lungs, she is still able to survive because she could get her oxygen from placenta, not from breathing. Placenta has a respiratory function that allows the baby for fetal oxygen supply and fetal carbon dioxide removal.

The right answer is B.

The purpose of breathing is to do homeostasis, which means, to take CO2 out and get oxygen to our blood.

Babies live into the wound surrounded by liquid, so they don't need to breathe with their lungs.

All the things they needed to survive are taken from the mother thought the placenta.

15 points plez help. Explain why an area that goes through secondary succession will likely reach its climax community before an
stira [4]

Answer:

Primary succession can be described as the development of a community in an area where there was no form of life before. For example, an area where volcanic eruption might have occurred.

Secondary succession can be described as an ecological succession which occurs in areas where the previous community had been destroyed by some kind of environmental disaster or human activity like fire etc.

As secondary succession occurs in areas where there was life before that means that the soil of this area will still have essential minerals and nutrients which will support life better as compared to areas of primary succession. In primary succession, the area might not even have soil. The rocks will be converted to soil in these area which will take a lot of time. Hence, an area that goes through secondary succession will likely reach its climax community before an area that goes through primary succession.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The two populations might become separate species

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation is one of the mechanisms that can lead to the establishment of a new species of organisms as a result of geographical separation of different population of organisms of the same species.

<em>When organisms of the same species are geographically separated, this prevents gene flow between the two populations and each population develops various adaptive features in order to cope with their environments. Thus, each population might end up becoming a new species.</em>
