In marine environment, many animals confuse the plastic littering the oceans for food including sea turtles. Once in these animal bodies the plastic accumulates, and the chemicals can cause excess estrogen to be produced, which has led to discoveries of male fish with female sex organs. For sea turtles, the plastic blocks their digestive tract and the food that is trapped releases gases that render them buoyant, and unable to dive for food. The turtle was slowly starving because a single use plastic bag, which she had eaten, was blocking her digestive tract.

The plastic contains destructible and harmful agents that is not good for human and animals health.

Summarize the connection between the heart and the lungs. How are these organs working together to deliver oxygen to the body? B

Answer:

The blood goes through an oxygenation process that is carried out by the blood vessels, the heart and the lungs, so if any of these structures is affected the entire circulation system will be altered. The circulatory system is made up of two circulatory systems: the pulmonary that provides oxygen to the blood and the systemic that carries it to all the tissues of the body

Explanation:

The veins transport the deoxygenated blood to the heart pumps this blood back to the lungs, where it absorbs more oxygen. This oxygenated blood returns to the left side of the heart, which pumps it to the rest of the body through the arteries. Pulmonary circulation is a process in which the lungs, heart, veins and pulmonary arteries intervene, with the aim of oxygenate the blood.This system begins in the left ventricle of the heart, since this is the chamber through which it exits deoxygenated blood that has already fulfilled its function in all tissues of the body, to later reach the lungs through the blood vessels in the region.Systemic circulation is a long process that involves the chambers of the heart and blood vessels throughout the body, with the aim of carrying oxygenated blood to the tissues that are further away and thus allow all to function in the best way

Question- What would happen if earthquake waves were to interact with layers of the Earth?

Answer- Ok this is what really happens. As you may know there are seven tectonic plates on earth. Deep in the layers of earth energy is being build up to create a movement for thease plates. When the plates move it causes earthquakes but the thing is it depends were you are. If youre far from the movement you will get a small earthquake a small earthquake meaning you wouldnt even feel it, but on the other hand if your right by the movement you will get effected. Take calafornia as an example do you wonder why there are so many earthquakes happenening it because calafornia is right on the action! Calafornia is located right at the rigget place of the tectonic plate were the movement is big!

If my answer helped you please mark it as brainliest thank you and have the best day ever!
