Answer:
Medulla oblongata
Explanation:
Medulla oblongata is found at the lower half of the brainstem continuous with the spinal cord. The medulla oblongata controls the center of vomiting, vasomotor centers for regulating heart rate, cardiac, respiratory and blood pressure. Furthermore, Medulla oblongata connects the higher levels of the brain to the spinal cord and also controls autonomic functions.
Answer:
The function of a root hair is to increase the surface area available for absorption in plant roots
Explanation:
Root hairs are located mostly near a plant's root tips. Most water absorption occurs through the root hairs due to its large surface area for absorption of water. The root hairs acts as a protective mechanism to prevent harmful bacterial organisms from infecting the plant via the xylem vessels.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Producers are at the bottom of the energy pyramid because they prove the most energy, they make up most of the population, which is biomass. And the producers have the largest population, which is why they are at the bottom of the pyramid of numbers. Finally they are at the bottom of food chains and webs because they store the most energy inside of them.
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.
