Solution:
People that born with hemophilia lack or have a low amount of a clotting factor.
Coagulation factors are proteins necessary for normal blood clotting.
Coagulation factors are found in blood plasma. These factors act with Thrombocytes to clot blood.
However, hemophilia is not a decrease in Thrombocytes but a decrease in coagulation factors due to genetic causes.
Diagnosis includes screening tests and clotting factor analysis. Screening tests are blood tests that show whether the blood is clotting properly. Clotting factor tests can reveal a deficiency of clotting factors in the blood plasma and determine the level of severity of hemophilia.
As the coagulation factors are in Blood plasma, we can conclude that the correct answer is:
BLOOD PLASMA
Answer: Ectotherm
Definition: An animal that is dependent on <u>external sources of body heat</u>.
Answer:
An example of an abiotic factor within an ecosystem is the air temperatures in the mountains.
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, abiotic factors refer to all those non-living elements, which depend on chemical and physical elements. Water, soil, wind, temperature, climate, minerals and soil pH are abiotic elements.
In comparison to the other statements, the one that corresponds to an environmental abiotic factor is the air temperature in the mountains, describing even two factors, <u>air and temperature</u>.
<em> The other alternatives, lion hunting the gazelle, flower growing on the vine or fish swimming in the lake represent </em><em>biotic</em><em> or living elements of an ecosystem.</em>
