The rate at which blood flows through the human body can change in response to multiple factors. Which statement describes one o

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.

D. The changing of the shape of red blood cells to a crescent shape decreases resistance and leads to faster blood flow.

Explain why this is the correct answer and why the other ones are wrong:

Answer:

B

viscosity of blood causes an increased resistance in the blood vessels and

leads to slow blood flow

Explanation:

Viscosity refers to the thickness of blood. This thickness is caused by the number of red

blood cells. Thick blood travels through blood vessels at a slower rate than thin blood

3. What molecule is responsible for inheritance?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The Hershey–Chase experiment in 1952 confirmed that DNA (rather than protein) is the genetic material of the viruses that infect bacteria, providing further evidence that DNA is the molecule responsible for inheritance.

A. Compare and contrast the development of the dorsal and
lianna [129]

Answer:

The principal difference in development of Dorsoventral axis in deuterostomes and protostomes is something called inversion

Explanation:

In protostomates the neural tube is below the gut and the dorsal vessel is above the gut while in deuterostomates is the oppossite, there is an inversion and now, the neural tube is above the gut and the heart tube is below. In both cases the development is related to the gradient of expression of some genes, where the expresion of one gene supress the formation of one structure in one side of the axis.

In protostomates the TGT-B factor is expressed dorsally and supress neural tube formation and ventrally a sog gene is expressed and supress TGT-F factor allowing neural tube to develop. In deuterostomates, an homolog of TGT-B family gene BMP-4 is expressed ventrally while dorsally BMP inhibitors (sog gene like) are expressed.

Accordingly to some researchers, the first state of the common ancestor of deuterostomates and protostomates had an protostomate-like orientation in dorsoventral axis

Which of these is not used by the nervous system to instruct the endocrine system
Alex777 [14]
<span>The correct answer is B.exocrine glands.
It is because exocrine glands do not belong to the neuroendocrine system.</span> <span>The neuroendocrine system integrates the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system to regulate the physiological processes of the human body (homeostasis, reproduction, metabolism, osmolarity, energy regulation,  blood pressure). The major systems within neuroendocrinology systems are hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis,hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis.</span>

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Dodos were flightless birds that have been extinct for about 300 years. Imagine that biologists found two surviving dodos and mated this pair of birds. What would you expect of the resulting dodo population after three generations?

The maximum number of alleles present for any gene in the new population is two

Explanation:

As a result of this mating, in the third generation the maximum number of alleles present for any gene in the new population will be two.

Chromosomes are in pairs, what else comes in pairs​
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes--22 pairs of numbered chromosomes, called autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y. Each parent contributes one chromosome to each pair so that offspring get half of their chromosomes from their mother and half from their father.

Explanation:

(Sorry, I'm not sure)
