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:
D two organisms depend on each other for survival.
Explanation:
Symbiotic relationship is a type of relationship between two organisms in which the both of them gain something positive from each other. A good example is the relationship between the cattle and egret. The egret helps in grooming the cattle and the cattle in return provides food for the egret.
In a symbiotic relationship, two organisms depend on each other for survival and is the right choice in the above question.
Well, it’s just because nucleotides do not contain an amino group. Nucleotides are composed of nitrogen base bonded to a sugar which is also bonded to a phosphate group. No amino groups in sight.
<u>Answer</u>: Weber's/Weber-Fechner's law of just noticeable difference
This phychologoical law is used to quantify the perception of change for a given stimulus. The perceived change is proportional/constant ratio to the initial stimulus. Thus, it is the minimum amount of a stimulus intensity change that will produce noticeable variation in sensory experience.
As in the example, it has been shown that this law is not function very well for extremes of stimulation.
