In fetal life, the lungs are not expanded, so most of the blood from the right ventricle is shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta through the patent ductus arteriosus. With a few breaths the lungs expand, and blood flows from right ventricle to pulmonary artery into the lungs. Withdrawal of circulating prostaglandin from the mother plus bradykinins released from the expanding lung of the infant cause the ductus to close over a few minutes to hours. The closed ductus remains as the ligamentum arteriosum.
Answer:
carbon, hydrogen and oxygenation
Not to be too picky, but the question ought to say a positively charge ion rather than atom.
I will assume that is what you mean. An ion, using ordinary means, will be positive if it loses electrons (which are negative).
An ion can never gain protons. Left alone, the nucleus will remain unchanged for the rest of eternity. D is wrong.
C is wrong. If electrons are gained, the ion will go negative.
B is wrong for the same reason D is. An ion can't gain protons and it can't lose them.
A is the answer.
The plant goes into shock
