Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Ferns can grow taller than mosses because ferns are vascular plants and mosses are non-vascular. Most plants are vascular, which means they have a system of vessels that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. For this reason, vascular plants can grow very tall; their vascular tissue moves needed molecules, such as water, all the way to the top of the plant or tree. Mosses, by contrast, are lacking this internal transport system and therefore cannot grow to be tall. They must rely on absorbing moisture directly from their environment and so must remain low to the ground where water is accessible. Mosses must live in moist, damp environments for this reason. Ferns are also found in shady, damp areas because like mosses, they use spores as their method of reproduction. Spores travel through water to unite and reproduce

If end diastolic volume (EDV) is measured to be 120 ml/beat and the end systolic volume is measured to be 50 ml/beat, the stroke
laiz [17]

Answer:

70  ml/beat.

Explanation:

Stroke volume may be defined as the volume of the blood that are pumped by the left ventricle in one contraction. The blood output can also be determined by knowing the stroke volume.

The stroke volume can be calculated by the formula as follows:

Stroke volume =  End diastolic volume - End systolic volume

Here, end diastolic volume = 120 and end systolic volume = 50.

Stroke volume = 120 - 50

Stroke volume = 70 ml/ beat.

Thus, the answer is 70 ml/ beat.
