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.

Name a body system that helps people to move?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Un sistema corporal es un grupo de órganos que trabajan juntos para realizar una función específica. El cuerpo humano tiene 11 sistemas corporales. Los sistemas que se estudian en la escuela primaria suelen ser el sistema circulatorio, el sistema respiratorio, el sistema muscular, el sistema digestivo y el sistema nervioso. Los otros sistemas son igual de importantes pero más complejos, por lo que se estudian en los grados superiores. Son el sistema endocrino, el sistema inmunológico, el sistema linfático, el sistema reproductivo, el sistema esquelético y el sistema urinario

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome. Match the w
schepotkina [342]

The answers;

1. Termination. Out of the 64 codons, UAG, UAA, and UGA are the stop codons that terminate translation when encountered by the ribosome. These three do not code for any amino acid but rather cause the translation complex to dislocate.


2. Translation. In this process, the ribosome ‘reads’ the codon and brings in a t-RNA with an anticodon to the codon. This tRNA carries a specific amino acid (for that codon) and engages in the P-site of the ribosome. The amino acid is taken from the t-RNA and used to elongate the polypeptide chain being formed. Thereafter the empty t-RNA dislocates.


3. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. When a tRNA brings in an amino acid to the initiation complex, it is dislocated when ‘empty’. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase then catalyzes the reattachment of another amino acid through a chemical reaction called esterification. The cognate tRNA then become an aminoacyl-tRNA.


4. tRNA . Every tRNA has an amino acid attached to it. The type of amino acid (out of the 22 amino acids) is determined by the anticodon on the tRNA. There are many codons that are amino acids meaning that there are redundant codons that specify for the same amino acid.


5. Initiation. Initiation begins by the formation of an initiation complex. This complex is comprosed by the two subunits of the ribosome, and the mRNA. The complex becomes compelete when a Met-tRNA (a tRNA with a methionine amino acid) engages the P-site and then translation begins.

A--When someone hike, how will the altitude affect your body?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The maintenance of the body's physiology is important for the living organisms.The metabolism of the human body affects with the temperature, altitude and with the other external and internal conditions of the body.

In case of higher altitudes, the partial pressure of the oxygen is low. This causes the increase in the breathing rates so the oxygen amount in the body can be increased. The dehydration of the body may also occur for the few hours as the individual reaches the altitude. The body's metabolism also increased with the increase in the altitude.
