Answer:

A), C) and D)

Explanation:

It is important for the cell to maintain a high surface area: volume ratio so that the gaseous exchange and movement of nutrients and waste material occurs efficiently across the cell membrane. Should the cell expand, then the volume would increase, decreasing the surface area: volume ratio. This would decrease the rate of movement of nutrients and waste material across the cell membrane, also the energy demand of the cell would be higher compared to a smaller cell.

Thus, cell division occurs to circumvent this.

(06.05 MC) What is the correct order of blood flow from the heart to the lungs in the fetal circulatory system? a. Ductus venosu
marishachu [46]

Answer:

c. Ductus venosus, vena cava, heart, ductus arteriosus, arteries

Explanation:

The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels. In a fetus, the circulation of blood is different from circulation after delivery largely due to the fact that the lungs are not in use, rather, the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord.

Blood from the placenta is carried to the fetus by the umbilical vein. While some of this blood enters the fetal ductus venosus and is carried to the inferior vena cava, some others enter the liver. The blood from the inferior vena cava then moves into the right atrium of the heart. The foramen ovale, an opening between the right and left atrium in the fetus directs most of the blood flow from the right into the left atrium, thereby, bypassing pulmonary circulation. Most of the blood from the right atrium flows into the left ventricle and is pumped through the aorta to the rest of the body.  

Some of the blood from the right atrium however, enters into the right ventricle and is pumped into the pulmonary artery. The ductus arteriosus which is a special connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta in a fetus, directs most of this blood away from the lungs and into the arteries.

You have a 12 sided cube that is numbered from 1 to 12. What is the probability of rolling a five?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

Formula for calculating probability:

            Probability of an outcome A =

     Number of favorable outcomes of A / Number of possible outcomes

       P ( A )  = number of favorable outcomes to A / total number of outcomes

⇒ The number of times 5 can appear when you roll the 12 sided cube once is one time   =  1

⇒ The total number of possible outcomes is 12 - meaning you can roll any number between 1 - 12 when you roll the dice once.   = 12

Therefore the probability of rolling 5  = 1 /12

 Probability = 1 / 12

Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds. Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
