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

Which of the following represents a type II survivorship curve?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The survivorship curves are the representation of the proportion of individuals of the given species which are alive at different ages in the population of species.  The curves are represented in the form of a graph with the number of individuals plotted on the y-axis to the age of survivorship on the x-axis.

The survivorship curves are of three types: Type I, II and III out of which type three represents the population with equal probability of dying at all age groups. This is represented by a straight line on the graph.

Thus, Option-c is the correct answer.

a cell is placed in a solution of 3% starch and 3% glucose. After several hours, glucose is detected outside of the cell, but st
Alex17521 [72]

Answer and Explanation:

The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.

Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.

The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.
