After a quick check, I can confirm that all of the answers stated in the question are correct.

As per questions one and two, Oxygen is drawn from the air by the lungs, a part of the respiratory system. The pulmonary veins then carry the oxygenated blood to the heart (these are the only veins to carry oxygenated blood), which is then pumped throughout the body through arteries. The path followed by the oxygen is:

Oxygen is drawn into the lungs
The Pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs
Hematosis occurs, transferring the oxygen to the blood
The pulmonary veins take the oxygenated blood to the heart
The aorta artery and its ramifications distribute the oxygenated blood throughout the body

In order to increase the amount of oxygen in times of greater need such as when exercising, the heart rate (pulse) and breathing rate increase to provide more oxygen, when an artery is blocked such is the case with Atherosclerosis, blood flow is reduced. Questions 3 and 4 are correct.

Lastly, a person's small intestine is lined with highly specialized cells whose function is to absorb the nutrients from the food we ingest. Damage to this lining would cause this organ to not be able to obtain the vitamins and nutrients needed for the human body. All answers are correct.

If r-organisms reproduce at such a high rate, why don’t they usually reach their carrying capacity? If an r-population is moved

Ghella [55]

R-organisms are usually bellow carrying capacity (<span>the maximum size of some population that can survive in the given environment)</span>. Those organisms are small and produce a great number of offspring. However, their life expectancy is short and many individuals die within a short time. Because of the high rate of death, they do not live long enough to reach their carrying capacity. Their life span is short, so even if predators were removed from the population, it would not be expected they will reach their carrying capacity.

Cells are categorized as either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. classify the characteristics below as being unique to prokaryotic cel

dezoksy [38]

Prokaryotic cells: lack membrane-bound organelles, relatively small - typically less than 10 μm in size.

Both cell types: use ribosomes to synthesize proteins, contain DNA.

Eukaryotic cells: complete copy of DNA stored in multiple chromosomes.

In particular, prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles, therefore their ribosomes float freely intracellularly. On the other hand, eukaryotic cells have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Also, their DNA is bound to proteins and stored in the form of chromosomes in the nucleus.

What differences can be observed in the structure of an artery and a vein?

torisob [31]

Arteries are generally larger, undergo more blood flow, and exhibit more blood pressure.

Veins are smaller than arteries, and can have valves in certain parts of the body.
