Answer:
of the low pH of the vagina.
Explanation:
The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.
Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.
Answer:
F. The genes for black hair were activated by specific temperatures
Explanation:
The white hair only grows in cold temperatures. Just because they put an ice pack on the rabbit does not mean that its cold.
StMary's a good day for me and you are the kids going ❤️❤️ a good time☺️☺️
Answer: True
Explanation: I took the test :)
Answer:
A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.
Explanation:
<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.
One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.
The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase
<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>
The correct option is A.
