BMI<span> (body mass index), which is based on the height and weight of a person, is an </span>inaccurate<span> measure of body fat content and does </span>not take into account muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, and racial and sex differences. <span>BMI is a substitute measure of body fatness because it is a measure of excess </span>weight<span> rather than excess body </span>fat<span>. Factors such as age, sex, ethnicity, and muscle mass can influence the relationship between BMI and body </span>fat<span>.</span>
Answer:
All vascular plants have water-conducting tissue and are better adapted for life on land than the bryophytes; they are also characterized by a dominant sporophyte generation.
Answer:
-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.
-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.
Explanation:
-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.
-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.
-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.
-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.
-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.
<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>
At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.
<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>
The double membrane. It's theorized that chloroplasts used to be their own single-celled organism in the environment (and therefore with its own membrane). Then, the theory states, a larger cell took in the chloroplast by endocytosis, which involves surrounding the chloroplast in the large cell's own membrane. The chloroplast would then have two membranes surrounding it. This is similar to the thinking for mitochondria becoming an organelle as well. Hope this helps! :)
The correct answer is D: I and II only.
Viruses have protein capsids, which protect their genetic material. This capsid sometimes is covered by viral envelopes which have glycoproteins on their surface. Glycoproteins help in the process of binding to the host cell and infecting it. In this example, virus III has the structure of a bacteriophage and it does not seem to have glycoproteins. Bacteriophages use their tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host and inject their genetic material. On the contrary, viruses I and II have glycoproteins sticking out of their envelopes.
