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.

Which sequence shows the correct order of living things in a food chain?
kkurt [141]

The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.

In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.

“How fast do hummingbirds fly?” Why is the question a scientific question?
sleet_krkn [62]
Hummingbirds can fly as fast as 60 miles per hour. One reason why its a scientific question is because of their speed. Their speed is very different compared to many other animals. I hope this helps :)
