<span>The major structure that supplies the cells with nutrients and removes their waste is the circulatory system. The circulatory system is composed of the heart, the blood vessels going from and back to the heart, and the blood that travels inside them. The blood vessels that carry nutrient and oxygen-rich blood to the cells are arteries. They become the thinner arterioles, and then the thinnest capillaries. With the exception of the pulmonary arteries, which carry non-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, all arteries carry oxygenated blood. The capillaries disburse the nutrients and oxygen to the cells and pick up wastes and carbon dioxide, form into the thicker venules, then to form veins, which lead back to the heart (with the exception of the pulmonary veins, which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart). Veins also differ from arteries in that veins have valves to prevent blood from flowing backward.</span>

Which of the following is a step that occurs within an inflammatory response?
Citrus2011 [14]

The right answer is C.

During inflammation, under the influence of chemical mediators, endothelial cells (forming the blood vessels) become activated. This leads to local arteriolar vasodilation then capillary2 which causes:

** an increase in blood supply

** a decrease in the speed of blood flow

This local swelling of the blood vessels causes redness and the sensation of heat. It aims to increase the flow of blood to evacuate dead cells and toxins (detox) and provide the elements necessary for healing, including white blood cells to fight against foreign bodies.

The shells of clams and other mollusks _____. dissolve when the pH becomes more basic dissolve when the pH becomes more acidic m
Juliette [100K]

The correct answer is that the shells of clams and other mollusks dissolve when the pH becomes more acidic.

This is because the shells of clams and other mollusks are made of calcium carbonate that is dissolved in acidic conditions. The pH  needs to be low to dissolve calcium carbonate into it. It takes few days to dissolve the shell completely.

Flagella may best be described as:
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The correct answer is number one: <em>Filamentous rotating structures that provide motility may be singular, paired or scattered.</em>

Explanation:

Flagella are organelles defined by function rather than structure.

The primary function is that of locomotion but also being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell.

Helicobacter pylori is a good example of flagella: It uses multiple flagella to propel itself through the mucus lining to reach the stomach epithelium.

Sperm cell is a good example, which uses its flagellum to propel itself through the reproductive tract of females.

I hope it helps!
