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.

The main function of this macromolecule include muscle development, catalyst activity and defense against disease
Liula [17]

The correct answer is protein.

Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids with the wide range of structures. Protein functions are diverse:  

• structural proteins-maintaining the cell shape, (for example, proteins are structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates),  

• Enzymes - catalyze the biochemical reactions in cells-.

•  Monitors- changing their activity in response to metabolic signals

• Part of the extracellular matrix or involved in intercellular communication…

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. Studies have linked a common form of glaucoma to three genes and more than 20 genetic
NeX [460]

Answer: The correct answer is -

d) a dominant trait that depends on the presence of only one of many dominant alleles.

Glaucoma is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning that presence of single copy of the defective gene is enough to cause the disease.

It corresponds to a group of diseases, which cause damage in the optic nerve, leading to loss of vision and if not treated, it ultimately leads to blindness.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
