A. systolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart B. diastolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart C. systolic pressure, ventricles are relaxing D. diastolic pressure, ventricles are relaxing E. diastolic pressure, atria are contracting, ventricles are relaxing

Answer:

A. systolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart

Explanation:

Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure of the blood in the arteries. It is attained during the phase of ventricular systole. During this phase, the ventricles contract (systole) resulting in a build-up of the blood pressure. This makes the tricuspid and mitral valves close. As the blood pressure in the ventricles exceeds that in the arteries, semilunar valves are opened and blood flows into the aorta and pulmonary artery. The flow of the blood increases the pressure in the arteries.

2. Traditionally, protists were classified in kingdom Protista. How has the classification of protists changed? 3. Relate Cause
pantera1 [17]

Protists are the eukaryotes which are neither plants, animals nor fungi. But they are plant-like, fungi-like and animal-like organisms.  It is difficult to classify all the protists in one kingdom Protista because of their numerous diversified traits. There are a few parasites, predators and also producers among the protists. Some have a cell wall, while others have a cell membrane. Mode of locomotion can be flagella, cilia or the pseudopodia. The best example is the <em>Euglena</em> exhibiting both plant and animal like characteristics in having a chloroplast performing photosynthesis and exhibiting locomotion by flagella. These diversified traits made the scientists to reclassify the protists. The kingdoms which arose from protist ancestors include the kingdom animalia, plantae and mycota sharing common characteristic features with their ancestor. Scientists say that we should not look for the earliest ancestors of animals among modern-day protists because, the modern day protists have gone through a process of evolution which makes them different from their early ancestors. The gradual changes during the course of evolution has made them different from their ancestors with respect to their structure, adaptations and also the genetic composition.
