a) It never needs batteries.

b) It's designed for extremely active patients.

c) It's specifically designed for long-term use.

d) An LVAD only supports a failing left ventricle.

Answer:

d) An LVAD only supports a failing left ventricle.

Explanation:

When both halves (R.&L Ventricles) of the heart  failed to pump blood, together with the failure of the valves  to regulate blood flow as  in biventricular failure, <em>a device can planted  in the patient to replace the failed right or let ventricles and to control the  directional flow of blood to the vascular system. This device is called TAH.</em>

However when the left ventricle is faulty so that blood pump into the systemic circulation is affected in case of a patient who is <u>waiting for heart transplants not old enough for transplants;</u> <u>who needs to sustain heart function after surgery</u>; or <u>patients  who could not find a  heart donor and therefore need to survive</u>, <em>a mechanical pump is implanted below the diaphragm and power by battery cell in a wearable outside. This miniature mechanical  pump is called Left venticular  assist device(LVAD).It only correct left ventricle anomaly</em> .

Thus the major difference between the two is that LVAD, is only for the  faulty left Ventricle correction.

What is the fundamental reproductive unit that the cones of gymnosperms, flowers of angiosperms, and the reproductive fronds of
jasenka [17]

Answer:

In gymnosperms the female reproductive part is the cone and the pollen is the male reproductive part. Pine trees and other gymnosperms produce two types of cones. Other gymnosperms and pine trees produce two kinds of cones. The larger female cone, which is the seed cone and the male cone called the pollen cone.

The cones of gymnosperms, flowers of angiosperms, and the reproductive fronds of ferns all have a fundamental reproductive unit that is a leaflike organ bearing sporangia.

Andru [333]

Answer:

1. An organism is a individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.

2. Habitat, place where an organism or a community of organisms lives, including all living and nonliving factors or conditions of the surrounding environment. Like a forest, lake, coral reef, desert, towns or cities.

3. An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. Biotic factors are animals, trees, plants, and abiotic factors are things that have never been alive. So rock rivers, ponds, man made objects.

4. When a organism depends on another is called symbiotic relationships. There are three different types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism involves goby fish and shrimp. The shrimp maintains a burrow in the sand in which both the fish and shrimp live. When a predator comes near, the fish touches the shrimp with its tail as a warning. Then, both fish and shrimp retreat to the burrow until the predator is gone.

5. Pollution(water&air), deforestation, UV Radiation, invasive species.

If an organism went extinct the next generation won't ever be able to see those organisms. If an organism we eat went extinct we would have one less food source which is something that really does not need to happen in today world.
