Answer:

The Mitral/Bicuspid Valve

Explanation:

The heart is composed of 4 chambers: left and right atria, and left and right ventricles. The “right heart” (right atrium and ventricle) receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation through the Vena Cava, and impels this blood towards the lungs through the Pulmonary Arteries where it will be oxygenated. The “left heart” (left atrium and left ventricle) receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circulation through the Pulmonary veins and impels this blood towards the systemic circulation through the Aorta artery.

The systemic and pulmonary circuits work in series, and maintaining the unidirectional course of the blood flow is very important. This can be done by the presence of fibrous valves that are present between the atrium and the ventricles, and in between the ventricles and the Pulmonary/Aorta artery.

The location of these structures are as follows:

Systemic circulation ⇒ Right Atrium → [Tricuspid Valve] → Right Ventricle → [Pulmonary Valve] → Pulmonary Artery ⇒ Pulmonary circulation

Pulmonary circulation ⇒ Left Atrium → [Mitral/Bicuspid Valve] → Left Ventricle → [Aortic Valve] → Aorta ⇒ Systemic circulation

Which statement describes an important role of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:Plants use carbon dioxide to make food

Explanation: Carbon-dioxide plays a very important role in sustaining life on Earth.

Plants use carbon-dioxide and water for photosynthesis in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce food and oxygen.

CO₂ + H₂O →  O₂ + glucose (food)

This food is consumed by the animals and oxygen is used for respiration. Animals use energy from the food to do work and exhale back carbon-dioxide.

Answers:

D) According to the graph, obesity and diabetes are intertwined, which could be why obesity and diabetes are linked.

E) Diabetes had the greatest rise in prevalence in 1997 until 2000, with prevalence percentages between about 76% to 78%.

Explanation: Explanation for these answers are below:

D) Looking at the graph, obesity and diabetes had similar prevalences in 1997 and 1998, and started to part ways a little in 1999.  In fact, even without the graph, scientists have known for a long time that people who have obesity also have diabetes.  This graph supports that claim because of how closely linked diabetes and obesity are and how similar the prevalence percentages are.

E) Diabetes had the greatest rise in 1997 to 2000, which had a 78% prevalence by 2000.  Obesity had very similar prevalence percentages from 75.5% to 77% in 1997 to 2000.

Being dipole allows water molecules to do some pretty spectacular things. Describe at least one property the occurs because of t
Roman55 [17]

The polarity of water enables it to serve as a solvent for polar substances.

A polar substance is a substance that has a positive end and a negative end. Water itself is a polar substance and this polarity enables it to dissolve polar substances.

For instance, HCl dissolves in water because it is polar. The positive end of the dipole in HCl attaches to the negative end of the dipole in water and the negative end of the dipole in HCl attaches to the positive end of the dipole in water.

This dipole - dipole interaction accounts for the dissolution of HCl in water.

Also, ion - dipole interaction accounts for the dissolution of ionic substances such as NaCl in water.
