Blood is transported throughout the body through both arteries and veins, but a significant difference between the two is the pr

esence of valves in veins. Some people develop chronic venous disease (CVD), which initially causes higher venous blood pressure and vein dilation, resulting in weakened vein valves. What do you predict would happen as the valve damage progresses?
A) Blood would leak backwards through the damaged valves due to gravity, causing lower leg swelling.

B) Veins would thicken and constrict, causing a restriction in blood flow, and leading to arterial leakage.

C) Veins would carry a both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood away from the legs, causing oxygen deficiency.

D) Blood flow would increase through the veins since the blood would not be impeded by valves.

Answer:

A. Blood would leak backwards through the damaged valves due to gravity, causing lower leg swelling.

Explanation:

The passage of blood is always in a single direction in the vein due to the presence of valves in the veins.

Any kind of vein injury or vein rupture, causes the valves in the veins to not function in an appropriate manner. The injury might result in inappropriate opening and closing of these valves. The inappropriate functioning of the valves causes the blood to flow backwards. This will eventually lead to blood pooling and putting more pressure on the lower leg veins. hence, there would be swelling in the lower legs.

Write two differences between the unicellular and multicellular organisms.
UNO [17]

Answer:

The cell membrane is the semipermeable membrane of a cell that surrounds and encloses its contents of cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. The cell membrane separates the cell from the surrounding interstitial fluid, the main component of the extracellular fluid.

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms are made up of only one cell that carries out all of the functions needed by the organism, while multicellular organisms use many different cells to function. ... Multicellular organisms are composed of more than one cell, with groups of cells differentiating to take on specialized functions

_____ provides a mechanism by which the chromosome number may be kept the same from one generation to another. Mitosis Meiosis N
Setler [38]
Answer: mitosis.

During DNA replication a pair of chromosomes of from one cell genders two duplicated chromosomes (so the number of chromosomes is duplicated), then in the mitosis process the cell split into two identical cells each with half of the duplicated chromosomes, so at the end one cell with two chromosomes form two cells each with two chromosomes. So, the new generation of cells has the same number of chromosomes.

a man with pku marries a woman without any alleles for pku. what is the probability that their child will inherit pku?​
zvonat [6]

Answer:A man with pku marries a woman without any alleles for pku.There is little possibility that a child will inherit PKU

<u>Explanation: </u>

PKU Is Phenylketonuria results in less metabolism of amino acid. It might lead to a mental disorder or behavior problems. It is mostly Genetic.

If only one parent is suffering from it then there is little possibility that it will pass on to a child but if both the parents are having the problem of PKU then there are more chances that the child will also develop such a problem. It can be treated if we catch it at an early stage.

Using the 10 percent rule, explain why there is typically smaller populations of quaternary consumers compared to primary consum
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

any time a source of energy is obtain using natural means, the 10 % rule will apply. 10 % rule means when energy is passed in an ecosystem from one trophic level to next, only 10% of the  energy  will be passed on. A trophic level is the position of organism in the food chain.

So Quaternary consumers are at the top position in the food chain, they will receive less energy from the food as compared to the primary consumers which are at the bottom of the food chain. so when getting less food and less energy, Because of this, the populations of Quaternary consumers are usually the smallest out of the populations in the food chain.
