I NEED ANSWERS ASAPPPPP!!!!!
1. The correct answer is C) Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to other organs.
To understand this, it is important to know the functions of both the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.
The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is responsible for transporting oxygenated blood and nutrients to the body's cells and removing waste products. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
The respiratory system, on the other hand, is responsible for the exchange of gases, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the body and the environment. It includes the nose, throat, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm.
During respiration, when we inhale, oxygen from the air enters the lungs and diffuses into tiny blood vessels called capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen binds to the hemoglobin in red blood cells and is transported throughout the body via the circulatory system. The cardiovascular system helps carry the oxygen-rich blood to various tissues and organs, where it is needed for energy production.
So, in summary, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system interact by the blood carrying oxygen from the lungs, facilitated by the respiratory system, to other organs and tissues in the body.
2. The correct answer is D) Humans select animals to breed that create offspring with desired traits.
Artificial selection, also known as selective breeding, is a process where humans intentionally breed animals or plants for specific traits. The goal is to produce offspring with desired characteristics that are beneficial to humans.
In artificial selection, humans choose specific individuals who showcase the desired trait(s). These selected individuals are then bred together, either through natural mating or through controlled artificial methods, to produce offspring that inherit and exhibit those desired traits. This process is repeated over many generations, resulting in a population with an increased frequency of the desired traits.
This method has been widely used in agriculture and animal breeding to produce crops and animals with desirable traits such as higher yield, improved resistance to diseases, or aesthetically pleasing features.
3. The correct answer is D) cell membrane.
The cell membrane acts as a gatekeeper or selectively permeable barrier for the cell. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, ensuring that only certain molecules can enter or exit.
In the context of this question, plant cells produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which occurs in the chloroplasts. The oxygen generated needs to be released into the environment. The cell membrane allows oxygen molecules to pass through from the chloroplasts within the cell to the surrounding environment, where it can be released.
Chloroplasts (option A) are responsible for photosynthesis, but they do not directly allow oxygen to pass into the environment. Vacuoles (option B) are storage structures in plant cells, not involved in oxygen transport. Endoplasmic reticulum (option C) is an internal cell structure involved in protein synthesis and transportation, but not specifically related to oxygen release.
4. The correct answer is B) an organ system.
The digestive system includes a collection of tissues and organs that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients. These organs include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, and pancreas.
An organ system refers to a group of organs that work together to carry out a specific bodily function. In this case, the organs of the digestive system collaborate to digest food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste.
An organelle (option A) is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, such as mitochondria or nucleus. An organ (option C) is a structure made up of multiple tissues that perform a specific function within an organism. An individual organism (option D) refers to a complete and independent living being.
5. The correct answer is B) His heart beats faster and his breathing rate increases.
When we encounter a potentially dangerous or stressful situation, our body goes into a fight-or-flight response, which involves the activation of various organ systems to respond to the threat.
In this case, Michael almost gets into an accident in his car, triggering his body's stress response. This leads to a set of physiological changes, including an increase in heart rate and breathing rate.
An increased heart rate helps to provide more oxygenated blood to the body's muscles and organs, preparing them for immediate action. Faster breathing allows for increased oxygen intake and helps deliver oxygen to the muscles more efficiently.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect because all of his organ systems do not stop working, respiration rate does not slow down, and neurons do not become paralyzed for ten seconds.
