I believe it would be A. because that is the muscle that regulates the heart pumping. This would happen because the pacemaker is taking over and it now has no purpose.

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Pacemakers are artificial device used generates electrical signals in the heart. It is used when the heart is not able to contract and relax( pumping of blood) naturally. This is known as natural pacing of the heart.

This mechanism is controlled naturally by the sinoatrial node of the heart. When the muscles present in the heart relax and contract the pumping of blood takes place.

When this mechanism is not properly working, artificial devices called as pacemakers are used.

Answer & Explanation:

Aquatic plants don't have to deal with drying stress, so, for example, the number of stomas will be lower or even absent. Also, the pressure and temperature conditions underwater are way different than on earth. Therefore, the movement of fluids and metabolic products will be quite different.

A plate glass window (n = 1.5) has a thickness of 4.5 mm. how long does it take light to pass perpendicularly through the plate?
nirvana33 [79]

The solution to this is to use the n = c / v equation

Where:

c is the speed of light: 3x10^8; and

The idea that v = m/s

So plug in the m/s for v in the n = c v equation and you will get:

1.5 = (3 x 10 ^ 8)/ ((4.5m)/s))

Therefore, the time should be 2.25 x 10 ^ -10 seconds.
