Longitude is used to measure distances in degrees from the Prime Meridian. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. The main purpose of longitude is to determine the east and west position of a point based on its geographical coordinate. I hope the answer helps you.<em />
answer gradualism Explanation: gradualism refers to the type of evolution that takes a long time
The answer is B). Genetic screening basically testing for the genetic traits of an individual. Therefore the answer would be B).
Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
1. Compliance is the capacity of a container to increase in size to allow it hold more content. Blood vessel, arteries and veins expand (increase in volume) to be able to accommodate a surge in blood flow, which is as a result of an increase in pressure of the blood from the heart pumping of the blood
Therefore, compliance in the tendency for blood vessel volume to increase as the blood pressure <em>increases</em> not decrease
The statement is false
2. A large compliance is indicative of being highly sensitive to changes in pressure
Compliance, C = ΔV/ΔP
From the above equation, a blood vessel with a large compliance, exhibit a large increase in volume when the increase in pressure is small
Therefore, the statement 'Blood vessels with a large compliance exhibit a small increase in volume when pressure increases a small amount; is false
3. The compliance of the vein ranges from 10 to 20 times (30 times in some literature) greater than arteries. A factor which can be affected by the vascular smooth muscle contraction or relaxation
Therefore, the statement, 'venous compliance is approximately 24 times larger than arterial compliance, so as venous pressure increases the volume of veins greatly increases' is true
Rain water gets polluted because of the water cycle bringing water into the atmosphere
