f these factors and the effect it has on blood flow?
A. The narrowing of blood vessels increases pressure and leads to faster blood flow

B. High blood viscosity increases the resistance in the blood vessels and leads to faster blood flow.

C. Low blood pH decreases the rate of diffusion through the blood vessels and leads to slower blood flow.

19. Which species gymnosperm has brightly colored, fleshy female cones that people often
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Ginkgo

Explanation:

There are 4 types of gymnosperms that produce fleshy fruits around their seeds which are usually considered as cones. These are Ginkgo, conifers, gnetophytes, and cycads. These plants have been evolved for fruit production as gymnosperms are known for their naked ovules and their seeds are stored in rough woody structure that is called as cone. There are separate males and female cones are present in gymnosperms.

Among the options given Ginkgo is the correct option it produces cones that look like berries. This advantageous evolution and helps in transfer of seeds through animals as they consume fruits or berries and disperse seeds in their feces.

<u><em>-Why does the lysosome have a different pH than the cytoplasm?  </em></u>

The pH within lyosomes is more acidic than the pH of the cytoplasm because Enzymes within the lysosomes aid the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, etc. These enzymes are active at a much lower pH than that of the cytoplasm. Thus the different pH from the cytoplasm.

<u><em>-What is the advantage of having several smaller chloroplasts and not just 1 huge one?</em></u>

The advantage of having several smaller chloroplasts and not just 1 huge one increases the surface area for the light to be absorbed. As a result, more light energy can be utilized.

givi [52]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

Athletes such as runners may prefer to train at higher altitudes than the altitude they perform at. This is because the higher altitude increases the number of red blood cells in the athletes body thus providing the muscles with more oxygen which increases performance.

If the runner moves from Nebraska to Colorado which is at a higher altitude, she will see an increase to her aerobic performance in the first three months.

I hope this answer helps.
