Answer:

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.

Explanation:

When a stimulus or a change in some condition triggers a response that intensifies the changing condition, the mechanism is called a positive feedback mechanism.

Any damage to tissues makes the platelets to contact and stick to parts such as collagen fibers of the connective tissue present under the damaged endothelial cells. This process of platelet adhesion activates the platelets and brings about changes in them. The activated platelets grow many projections to contact and interact with one another. They also release ADP and thromboxane A2 which in turn activates the nearby platelets. The ADP makes other platelets in the area sticky. The stickiness of the newly recruited and activated platelets causes them to join the originally activated platelets. Eventually, the accumulation and attachment of large numbers of platelets form a platelet plug.

Here, release of chemicals from the activated platlets to activate more platlets represents the positive feedback mechanism.

Explain the energy connection between the glucose and the formation of ATP in this process
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water. During this process, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. Energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups (PO4-) of the ATP molecule. ... When ADP and inorganic phosphate are joined to form ATP, energy is stored.

At which type of plate boundary do tectonic plates slide past each other?
melamori03 [73]
The answer would be conservative plate boundaries.

They occur where plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds. Friction is eventually overcome and the plates slip past in a sudden movement. The shockwaves created produce an earthquake.

I hope this helped and is correct! :)

Which two body systems, when working together, give your body shape and allows you to move around?
Iteru [2.4K]

The answer is; the skeletal system and the nervous system

The skeletal system (muscle and bone) give you rigidity and enable your legs to support your weight. The muscles also act on the bone as a fulcrum allowing it possible for them to contract and make motion possible.

The nervous system   is important in the coordination of movement. The brain is the center for locomotor action. This ensures you are able to place one foot in front of the other in sequence and moving your arm in concert.
