Answer: Option C.

Inefficient oxygen transportation.

Explanation:

Sickle cell anaemia is an inheritable condition in which the red blood cells cannot carry oxygen to the organs or whole body because the red blood cells shape has been distorted and is sickle in shape. In this condition there is not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen in the blood.

Red blood cells function to transport oxygen in the blood because of the haemoglobin molecule present in them.

Which of the following statements is true about the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?
ozzi
It is one of the beginning compounds.

This is the answer for many reasons. First off, it is not one of the ending compounds. It is only the end compound for photosynthesis. Second, it does not react to water as that is yet again photosynthesis. It does not react with carbon dioxide as carbon dioxide is what initially creates oxygen within cellular respiration.

Hope this helps!

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?
shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.

Why do living things share fundamental characteristics
Ghella [55]

Answer:

All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

Life processes are important to carry out daily life activities. They help to produce energy and maintain homeostasis in the body. The life processes help a body survive with the changes in the environment.
