nignag [31]

Answer:

When you sit on a plane for 6 hours without moving, blood accumulates in your veins, and the moment you get up, gravitational forces affect venous return, cardiac output, blood pressure, and venous pressure. That way, when you're sitting on a plane, the gravitational force is the same at the upper and lower extremities, such as the chest, abdomen, and legs, causing venous blood pressure and volume to be evenly distributed throughout the body. However, when one gets up, one becomes dizzy because of abnormal regulation of blood pressure. This is because gravity causes blood to accumulate in the lower extremities (veins of the legs and trunk). This lowers the blood pressure and the blood that the heart pumps. By causing blood to accumulate in the lower extremities, and as venous compliance increases, the veins expand with blood that causes the volume of blood to shift in the veins. This increases the volume and venous pressure in the lower extremities when standing. And the volume of thoracic venous blood is less and less central venous pressure. This leads to a decline in stroke volume. Cardiac output and mean arterial pressure also decrease as left ventricular stroke volume decreases, reducing pulmonary venous return. Decreased standing blood pressure, referred to as orthostatic or postural hypotension. Thus, lowering blood pressure decreases cerebral blood flow, which means less range of blood in the brain causing dizziness.

slega [8]

Answer:

Option D, only II, III, and IV

Explanation:

Complete Question

Ecosystem services include processes that increase the quality of the abiotic environment. Which of the following processes would fall under this category?

I) Keystone predators have a marked effect on species diversity.

II) Green plants produce the oxygen we breathe.

III) The presence of land plants builds soil.

IV) The presence of diverse wetlands helps in flood control.

A) only II and IV

B) only I and III

C) only I, II, and IV

D) only II, III, and IV

Solution -

The services of ecosystem has been classified into four groups  

a)  Provisioning – Where essential abiotic and biotic substance are produces such as production of food and water, reproducing offspring etc.  

b) Regulating – the ecosystems is controlled through environmental factors such as control of climate and disease

c) Supporting – Ecosystem support the activities that are essential for survival. Primarily includes all nutrient cycles, oxygen generation etc.  

d) Cultural – Provide aesthetic view and  recreational benefits

Option II co mes under supporting service of ecosystem

Option III co mes under Provisioning service of ecosystem

Option IV co mes under Regulating service of ecosystem

Hence, option D is correct

The process shown here is called ____. The resulting offspring, Dolly, would be genetically identical to the ____. This is becau
Mama L [17]

Answer:

cloning, Finn-Dorset, DNA, nucleus

Explanation:

So basically what they're doing here is they're taking the cytoplasm of a cell of the Scottish Blackface sheep (maybe a lamb?, whatever)/removing the nucleus inside that cell and instead inserting the nucleus of the Finn-Dorset sheep. Then they insert that "integrated" cell (so to speak) into a surrogate ewe so that the blastocyst can evolve and develop into Dolly (the lamb/sheep).

The process is cloning. The resulting offspring would be genetically identical to the Finn-Dorset (sheep/lamb) b/c the nucleus is coming from that sheep & the nucleus has the genetic material (DNA).  Hope ya found this helpful :)

P.S. Oh yeah, and thanks for the fifty points (hopefully)

How is a line graph different from a bar graph?
mario62 [17]
Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time.
