Consider three blood vessel segments of equivalent length and diameter: vessels A, B, and C. Pressure at the beginning of each s

egment is as follows:
A) P = 100 mmHg;
B) P = 80 mmHg;
C) P = 60 mmHg.
Pressure at the end of each segment is as follows:
A) P = 70 mmHg;
B) P = 50 mmHg;
C) P = 30 mmHg. Which vessel has the greatest blood flow through the described segment?

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>A, B and C. All have same blood flow.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The hemodynamic relation between blood flow (F), resistance (R)  and pressure difference (ΔP) can be expressed as

F = ΔP/R

<u>RESISTANCE:</u>

Since the three blood vessel segments are of equal length and diameter, it implies that all three blood vessel segments possess equal resistance.

Since the resistance is same in all vessels therefore, in this case blood flow depends on pressure differences.

<u>PRESSURE DIFFERENCES:</u>

ΔP in vessel segment (A):

100-70= 30 mmHg

ΔP in vessel segment (B):

80-50= 30 mmHg

ΔP in vessel segment (C):

60 -30 = 30 mmHg

<u>CONCLUSION:</u>

Since the pressure differences is same i.e. 30 mmHg in all vessel segments and resistance is also same, therefore blood flow will be same in all vessel segments.

Chris is studying oxidation and reduction reactions. Which of the following could she use as an example of an oxidation reaction
vivado [14]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are as follows:

A. formation of ATP from glucose during respiration

B. formation of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

C. formation of oxygen from water molecules during photosynthesis

The answer is A. formation of ATP from glucose during respiration

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is a type of reaction that involves the loss of electrons (e-) by a compound or molecule. The compound/molecule that loses the electron is said to be OXIDIZED.

According to this question, Chris is studying oxidation and reduction reactions (redox). An example of oxidation reaction she could use is FORMATION OF ATP FROM GLUCOSE DURING RESPIRATION. Glucose (C6H12O6) undergoes series of oxidation reactions in glycolysis, Krebs cycle and ETC, as it loses electrons to eventually produce energy (ATP).

In studying the origin of the universe, one of the primary unanswered questions is _____. what type of elements formed first app
Virty [35]

Answer:

In studying the origin of the universe, one of the primary unanswered questions is <u>what came before the big bang.</u>

Explanation:

The big bang theory can be described as a theory which scientists have proposed to explain how the universe came into existence. This theory predicts how the extremely hot temperatures and dense atmosphere might have given rise to the stars and the galaxies.

Scientists have no idea what happened before the big bang theory. Some scientists predict that there might be another universe which collapsed before the big bang theory. While other scientists claim that there was nothing before the big bang.

What are the 3 types of RNA?
Tatiana [17]

mRNA or Messenger RNA
mRNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins. mRNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of a cell.<span>rRNA or Ribosomal RNA
rRNA is located in the cytoplasm of a cell, where ribosomes are found. rRNA directs the translation of mRNA into proteins.</span><span>tRNA or Transfer RNA
Like rRNA, tRNA is located in the cellular cytoplasm and is involved in protein synthesis. Transfer RNA brings or transfers amino acids to the ribosome that correspond to each three-nucleotide codon of rRNA. The amino acids then can be joined together and processed to make polypeptides and proteins</span>

Can someone please help me
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

1A - Respiratory = trachea, lungs... however both arteries and veins move oxygen around the body, and are therefore valid answers

1B - Skeletal = bones

1C - Muscular = muscles

1D - Digestive = stomach, large/small intestine

1E - Circulatory = heart, veins and arteries

2. Cellular respiration is the conversion of sugar into energy the cell uses to function via various chemical reactions. Digestion is an example of this. Stomach acid breaks down food into sugars that cells break down further into energy to keep you alive

3. Bones contain bone marrow deep inside of them which is responsible for the creation of red blood cells. Your lungs can move air all they want but would be useless without red blood cells to take the oxygen to cells and take the CO2 away from them.
