nignag [31]

Answer:

When you sit on a plane for 6 hours without moving, blood accumulates in your veins, and the moment you get up, gravitational forces affect venous return, cardiac output, blood pressure, and venous pressure. That way, when you're sitting on a plane, the gravitational force is the same at the upper and lower extremities, such as the chest, abdomen, and legs, causing venous blood pressure and volume to be evenly distributed throughout the body. However, when one gets up, one becomes dizzy because of abnormal regulation of blood pressure. This is because gravity causes blood to accumulate in the lower extremities (veins of the legs and trunk). This lowers the blood pressure and the blood that the heart pumps. By causing blood to accumulate in the lower extremities, and as venous compliance increases, the veins expand with blood that causes the volume of blood to shift in the veins. This increases the volume and venous pressure in the lower extremities when standing. And the volume of thoracic venous blood is less and less central venous pressure. This leads to a decline in stroke volume. Cardiac output and mean arterial pressure also decrease as left ventricular stroke volume decreases, reducing pulmonary venous return. Decreased standing blood pressure, referred to as orthostatic or postural hypotension. Thus, lowering blood pressure decreases cerebral blood flow, which means less range of blood in the brain causing dizziness.

What happened to the Continental Army at the Valley Forge encampment?

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The particularly severe winter of 1777-1778 proved to be a great trial for the American army, and of the 11,000 soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, hundreds died from disease. However, the suffering troops were held together by loyalty to the Patriot cause and to General Washington, who stayed with his men.

What would be the independent variable in the following hypothesis?

Tamiku [17]

The independent variable in the hypothesis of an observed increased in sea turtle sickness once an increase in red tide can be seen would be the increase of red tide.

The reason for this is that red tide increases or decreases will happen independently of the amount of sea turtle sickness - therefore increasing sea turtle sickness will be dependent on the first variable. (independent one).

List four "beliefs" in which evolutionary scientists place their faith when supporting the theory of evolution. Use complete sen

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Answers below.

Explanation: One aspect in which evolutionists place their faith in is the geological column. If you examine a chart of it, you will notice a trend. As you go deeper into the geological column, the fossils found there get more and more "simple". On the surface of the geological column, scientists have found more complex life forms. This trend suggests that organisms evolved over time, and the geological column represents this trend in chronological order. However, this data could be used against evolution as well. Therefore, it is inconclusive. If you believe the sedimentary rock formed so rapidly due to the biblical flood, this is evidence against evolution. If you believe rocks formed according to the observations of Charles Lyell, then this could be evidence for evolution. It all depends on how one interprets the data.

Another aspect in which evolutionists place their faith is something they call "intermediate links" Intermediate links are supposed to indicate a transitional form between two different creatures to show that they evolved. For example, evolutionists state that the creature Archaeopterynx is the transitional form between reptiles and birds. Another example of a transitional form found is the Australopithecus afarensis, which is supposed to be the transitional form between apes and humans due to similar bone structures and that this creature was bipedal like us humans.

Another belief evolutionists have to support the theory of evolution is the science of structural homology. Structural Homology is a science that studies similar structures in different organisms. For example, if you examined the forearms of a bat, bird, porpoise, and human, you would find that they have similar forearm structures, They all have a radius, humerus, ulna, carpals, metacarpals and phalanges. This indicates that all these creatures evolved from a common ancestor due to their strikingly similar structures.

Another aspect in which evolutionists place their faith is in the science of molecular biology. You see, all organisms contain a common protein called cytochrome C. Cytochrome c performs the same basic function in every organism. It is possible to calculate the percentage difference between the cytochrome c in each organism. Evolutionists have created a table that shows the percentage difference between a few different species of organisms. What they found appeared to indicate an evolutionary trend. However, more research shows that this data is highly flawed. If you calculate the percentage difference of this protein between a horse, pigeon, tuna, silkworm moth, wheat, the yeast and compared it to a bacterium ( the "simplest" life form) you would find that all these organisms are almost the same percent different from each other, indicating individual species rather than evolving from a common ancestor. All of these assumptions stated above can be evidence for or against evolution. It all is determined by how someone interprets these facts. I hope this helped you! Good luck :)
