The correct answer is E. A cell

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest unit of life that exists and that constitutes all living organisms and body tissues including unicellular and multicellular organisms. Due to this, cells are considered as the fundamental unit of life as even the smallest and simplest living organisms are made of cells or at least made of one cell.

Cells are commonly made up of three main parts: the cell membrane which surrounds the cell and controls the substances that enter and leave it; the nucleus which is the structure within the cell that contains the nucleolus and most of the cell's DNA; and the cytoplasm that is the fluid inside the cell that contains other tiny cell particles with specific functions, such as the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum. This applies to all cells except to prokaryotic cells because these do not contain a nucleus but a chromosome in the middle of the cell.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of blood that flows through our bodies: oxygenated and deoxygenated. Oxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the left side of the atrium in the heart. As its name tells us, is the one that is highly with oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. Normally a sample of an oxygenated blood will be very bright in red due to the amount of blood cells in it. Deoxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the right side of the atrium in the heart. This blood is the one that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It is also known as the venous blood. Normally a sample of a deoxygenated blood will be darker almost going on blue.
