Answer: Vestigial structures
Explanation: Vestigial structures are an anatomical feature or behavior that no longer seem to have any purpose in the present form of an organism in the given species. Usually, they are often parts of the body that used to preform important functions in earlier forms of the organism.
Answer:
(1) glycerophospholipids ⟶ (C) lipids with phosphate-containing head groups
(2) cerebrosides ⟶ (D) fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine
(3) gangliosides ⟶ (B) anionic sphingolipids containing one or more sialic acid residues
(4) sphingolipids ⟶ (A) built on sphingosine
Explanation:
1) Choline (Fig. 1) is a glycerophospholipid. It is a glycerol-based lipid with a phosphate-containing head group.
(2) Galactosylceramide (Fig. 2) is a cerebroside. It contains a fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine
(3) Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids that contain sialic acid. GQ1b (Fig. 3) is one of the most abundant gangliosides in the human brain. The carboxyl group of the sialic acid is in the ionic form.
(4) Sphingomyelin (Fig. 4) is a sphingolipid. It is based on sphingosine, with a phosphocholine head and a fatty acid chain.
Answer:
A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.
Explanation:
<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.
One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.
The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase
<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>
The correct option is A.
Answer:
Carbon dioxide has also increased over the last 100 years-- from about 300 ppm to 370 ppm.
