Answer:

The muscular wall of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right ventricle because the left ventricle requires higher forces to carry out its function- pumping blood through the systemic circuit.

Explanation:

The ventricles are located at the bottom of the heart. Their main function is to collect and pump blood to the rest of the body.

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the lungs via the pulmonary artery. It requires a low pressure to carry this function out.

The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to all the tissues in the body. As a result, it requires higher forces than the right ventricle. Therefore, the muscle wall of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right ventricle (it is the thickest of all the heart chambers).

The left ventricle is the one in charge of impulsing the blood to the aorta, and then this moves through the body.

The right ventricle is the one in charge of move the blood to the pulmonary vein, and then to the lung to be oxygenated.

The left ventricle is thicker because the blood that moves to the aorta has to be with more pressure, and this requires more contraction power.

Which of the following properties does NOT play a role in trees growing to towering heights by moving water from roots to leaves
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Water absorbing energy in large amounts to increase energy by a degree of temperature

Explanation:

The growth of trees to towering heights has to do with the formation of plant cell walls which are built by the aggregation Glucose molecules to form Cellulose molecules. The cellulose molecules further combines to form microfibrils by forming hydrogen bonding. The microfibrils that combine to make cell walls

Therefore, the growth of a tree is dependent on the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules to enable uptake of water into the plants which enable photosynthetic reaction that result in the formation of glucose

The transpiration, which is the conversion of water into vapor or gas at the leaves facilitates the uptake of more water for the formation of more glucose molecules and creation of hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bonds between chlorophyll molecules is facilitated by forming hydrogen bond with water molecules.

Which of the following tags should be used to retrieve information from a
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A. Nucleotide sequence, human, hemoglobin</em>

Explanation:

If the segment of the DNA for the human gene is known then it will be very easy to find the gene on a database. The tags which should be used will be the nucleotide sequence, where the known sequence shall be mentioned.

Then we will choose the tag for the organism which is humans in this case. Then we will select the tag for the protein which is made by the nucleotide sequence, which is protein in this case. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Chloramphenicol binds in the active site of the large ribosomal subunit and inhibits peptidyl transferase activity in the 23s rr
valentina_108 [34]
This inhibition is restricted to bacterial translation because; the peptidyl transferase is an enzyme aminoacyltransferase as well as the primary enzymatic function of the ribosome, which forms peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids using tRNAs during the process of translation. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme means that the process oof translation wont take place, hence proteins will not be formed and thus the bacteria will die.
