Answer:

D. Weight varies with location, but mass does not vary

Explanation:

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

$Weight = mg$

Where;

m is the mass of the object.
g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.

Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).

<em>Hence, the statement that correctly compares mass and weight is that, weight varies with location, but mass does not vary. This is simply because acceleration due to gravity changes with location i.e its value varies with the planets.</em>

Ventricular systole begins during the __________ phase of the cardiac cycle. Ventricular systole begins during the __________ ph

Zina [86]

Answer

Ventricular systole begins during the <u>isovolumetric contraction </u>phase of the cardiac cycle.

Explanation

1. Ventricular ejection

The forceful expulsion of blood from the ventricles into the aorta and the pulmonary arteries.

2. Isovolumetric contraction

The interval between the closing of the AV valves and the opening of the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary valves) is known as isovolumetric contraction. it is the beginig of systole. it is the first chamber systolic event. The myocardial muscle fibers have begun to shorten but have not developed enough pressure in the ventricles to overcome the aortic and pulmonary end-diastolic pressures and open the aortic and pulmonary valves. During this period of muscle fiber contraction, the ventricular volumes do not change.

3. Ventricular filling

In this stage AV valve is opened and the blood that has accumulated in atria flow rapidly into ventricles. The ventricular volume increase rapidly. A third heart sound known as S3 is heared during this stage.

4. Isovolumetric relaxation

It is the beginning of diastole. The AV valve are closed at beginig. The atrium in diastole has been filling with blood on top of the closed AV valve, causing atrial pressure to rise gradually. The pressure in the ventricles continues to drop. Ventricular volume is at a minimum and is ready to be filled again with blood.

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food. It has to eat/ consume other organisms to sustain its self. An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animals. It is a heterotroph because it must eat to live. Same with a carnivore, just that it only eats meat.

What do cells need to divide?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Haploid cells only have one set of chromosomes - half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Before meiosis I starts, the cell goes through interphase. Just like in mitosis, the parent cell uses this time to prepare for cell division by gathering nutrients and energy and making a copy of its DNA.
