The proper function of the cardiovascular system relies on blood following the correct pathway through the heart. Valves within

the heart separate the organ's chambers and prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction. What valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle?

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

How do organisms reproduce and transfer genes to their offspring
skad [1K]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Some Organisms Transmit Genetic Material to Offspring without Cell Division.In other words, a bacterial cell reproduces by simply replicating its chromosome and dividing into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell.

lukranit [14]
1) Both involve electron transport chains. 
<span>2) Chemiomosis allows ATP synthase to produce ATP. </span>
<span>3) Both take place at some point within an organelle (mit. = CR, chloroplast= photo.) </span>
<span>4) Both utilize ATP for energy at some points. </span>
<span>5) Both provide power for cellular activities. </span>
<span>5 Differences </span>
<span>1)Cellular respiration depends on oxygen as a substrate. </span>
<span>2)Photosythesis utilizes 2 electron transport chains (not just 1). </span>
<span>3)In Photo. , energy is provided by photons and not catabolic processes as in cell. resp. </span>
<span>4)Photosynthesis involves the production of NADPH (CR involves NADH and FADH2) </span>
<span>5)Photosynthesis involves CO2 and H20 as substrates (splitting h20 provides the electrons for the process).</span>

When meiosis is complete, what has been produced?
seropon [69]

Answer:

D. four haploid cells

Explanation:

When meiosis is complete,four haploid cells are formed from a single diploid cell. The four daughter cells produced that contains half the number of chromosome than that of their parent cell. Due to meiosis the number of chromosomes remain fixed in a species from generation to generation.

The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.
