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.

Nat2105 [25]

The tip of the pyramid ends in a cuplike structure called the papilla.

Papilla projects into a calyx. Its surface has a sievelike appearance since it is where urine droplets pass through its small openings. Each opening represents a tubule known as the Bellini duct through which collecting tubules within the pyramid converge or meet. The muscle fibers lead from the calyx to the papilla. As the muscle fibers originating from calyx contract, urine flows through the Bellini ducts into the calyx. The urine flows through the renal pelvis and the ureter and it eventually drains down into the bladder.

Rudiy27
The hawk, a carnivore (animal meat-eater), is predating on the rabbit, an herbivore (plant-eater). So the hawk can be seen as the predator and the rabbit as the prey.
But another type of relationship important in Ecology is consumers. So producers are the plants that feed a food web. That makes the rabbits the primary consumers (herbivores) of these plants. Then the hawks become the secondary consumers (carnivores) of the primary consumers, by eating the herbivores.
Hope that this makes sense!
