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

When a tapeworm steals nutrients from the gut of a mammalian host, that symbiosis is called?
Umnica [9.8K]
Tapeworms are known to feed off of their hosts to complete their life cycle. This type of symbiotic relationship is called parasitism. Parasitism is defined as the type of symbiotic relationship wherein only one of the two interacting organisms benefit, at the latter organism's expense. Parasites could either be found inside or outside the host's body. Tapeworms are internal parasites.

A human eats a meal and afterward their blood glucose levels rise. Explain how the human body responds to return their blood glu
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bloodstream carries glucose-a type of sugar produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and other foods-to provide energy to cells throughout the body. Unused glucose is stored mainly in the liver as glycogen.

Insulin , glucagon, and other hormone levels rise and fall to keep blood sugar in a normal range. Too little or too much of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia).

Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal

Glucose - C8H12O6
Salt - NaCl
Water - H2O

Ammonia, salt and water are alike because, first they are all compounds. They are composed of two different atoms: Ammonia - N and H, Salt - Na and Cl, Water - H and O
