Problem 10.23 in book: There are 3.4 billion base pairs lined up end to end in one human DNA molecule, which contains the entire

genetic code for the makeup of an individual person. Each base pair measures approximately 350 pm in length, and almost every cell in the body contains two complete DNA molecules. (a) If one DNA molecule was stretched end to end, how far would it stretch

Solution :

The total number of the base pairs in a human DNA molecule is given as

= 3.4 billion

= 3,400,000,000

The length of each of the pair of DNA  = 350 pm

                                                            $=350 \times 10^{-12} \ m$

a). Therefore the maximum length of the DNA when it is completely stretched end to end can be found out as  $=350 \times 10^{-12} \times 3,400,000,000 $

                                                                  = 1.19 m

                                                                  = 0.00119 km

Now 1 km = 0.6213711 miles

∴ 0.00119 km would be = 0.00119  x 0.6213711

                                     = 0.000739432 miles.

La circulación __________ lleva la sangre a los pulmones para purificarla y luego la regresa al corazón para que la circulación
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

pulmonar; sistemica; plasma

Explanation:

La circulación pulmonar es responsable de llevar sangre del corazón a los pulmones. En este caso, la sangre rica en dióxido de carbono sale del ventrículo derecho a través de la arteria pulmonar, llega a los pulmones, sufre intercambio de gases y regresa a la aurícula izquierda del corazón a través de las venas pulmonares.

La circulación sistémica es responsable de garantizar que la sangre oxigenada se transporte por todo el cuerpo y que la sangre rica en dióxido de carbono regrese al corazón.

El plasma sanguíneo es una solución acuosa amarillenta que consiste en agua, minerales y proteínas. Su función es transportar estas sustancias por todo el cuerpo. El plasma representa aproximadamente el 55% del volumen sanguíneo.
