Question

An organism's heart cells stopped working properly. As a result, what would happen to the organism? A. The organism would develop new cells to take their place. B. The circulatory system would fail, and the entire organism would suffer. C. The organism would slow down its breathing, so that the heart could recover. D. Tissue from another part of the body would take over to keep the heart beating.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.)

This is because cells don't magically transfer over. If all the cells in a heart were to stop working properly, then the blood wouldn't pump very well, if at all. This would cause a lack of oxygen in the body, causing all bodily functions to halt. This would also cause a stroke, the lack of blood in the brain.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

C. The organism would slow down its breathing, so that the heart could recover.
