The countercurrent heat exchanger that prevents arterial blood from overheating the testes is the ________

Biology
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
8 0
The countercurrent heat exchanger that prevents arterial blood from overheating the testes is the pampiniform plexus of veins. The pampiniform plexus helps to regulate testicular temperature, allowing sperm maturation. It surrounds the testicular arteries and works as a countercurrent heat-exchanger system to cool the arterial blood before entering the testes. This is because the sperms can not develop if the testis is at body temperature.

The reaction-center chlorophyll of photosystem I is known as P700 because
jonny [76]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Photosystem of a plant is complex pigment-protein molecules which absorbs the light energy required for the formation of a glucose molecule.

Two types of Photosystem are present in the plants which are: P₆₈₀ and P₇₀₀. The 680 and 700 denote the wavelength of the light energy absorbed by the pigment of the chloroplast. The electrons get excited only at their absorbing wavelength.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

PLEASE HELP!
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Although elephants and hyraxes at first don't seem to have many similarities, a closer look has led many scientists to believe that these animals are evolutionarily closely related.

Elephants and Hyraxes share many reproductive characteristics that indicate a common ancestor: The location of the testicules in these animals diverges from most mammalian species, remaining inside the retroperitoneal abdomen. Females have similar placental origins and long gestation periods and the location of the mammary glands in both orders (above the front legs) is a unique feature among non-primate mammals. Hyraxes' tusks develop from incisor teeth, similar to elephants, and in both cases nails develop into flattened, hoof-like structures.

Molecular evidence has also been used to confirm the hypothesis of evolutionary relatedness between the two orders, as similarities in some gene sequences in mitochondrial DNA and other molecular components. Both animals have some physiological similarities and cognitive characteristics (such as the presence of a powerful long-term memory) that support the possibility of evolutionary proximity.

The fossil record indicates that in the Eocene period hyraxes were dominant herbivores in Africa, with several species, reaching much larger sizes than today and occupying different ecological niches, indicating that elephants and hyraxes may have been very similar millions of years ago.

What is the purpose of using control groups in an experiment
Brums [2.3K]
Typically you use experimental and control groups in an experiment. a control group is like the default, and the experimental is the one you actually experiment with.

for example if i run an experiment on the effects of food dye on a leaf stem, i’ll have my control group (the ones without food dye) to compare to the experimental group (the ones with food dye)

the control group is a way for scientists to see how an experiment truly affected or altered the subject
