Answer:

Answer:

There are several factors that can contribute to the effect an environmental toxin has on the human body. They are:

- Form and innate chemical activity

- Dosage, especially dose-time relationship

- Exposure route

- Species

- Life stage, such as infant, young adult, or elderly adult

- Gender

- Ability to be absorbed

- Metabolism

- Distribution within the body

- Excretion

- Health of the individual, including organ function and pregnancy, which involves physiological changes that could influence toxicity

- Nutritional status

- Presence of other chemicals

- Circadian rhythms (the time of day a drug or other substance is administered)

George is running a 5-km race and his cells need more oxygen. Which change will help his body meet the increased demand for oxygen? A. His heart beating more quickly. B. His pancreas releasing more insulin. C. His breathing becoming more shallow. D. His sweat glands becoming more active.

Answers

Answer: A. His heart beating more quickly.

Explanation:

The physical activity like running increase the rate of heart beat and blood circulation in the body due to muscular activity. During running the body experiences the depletion of oxygen. Oxygen becomes the main requirement for cellular respiration during running. To meet the requirement of oxygen the heart pumps the blood faster so that the requirement in each cell get fulfilled through rapid blood circulation.

On the basis of the above explanation, A. His heart beating more quickly. is the correct option.

A. because the heart will pump more blood filled with oxygen to the muscles that need it most

The study of animals' structures, behaviors, functions, and evolution is called _____. ethology zoology biology physiology

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, Zoology

Explanation:

Let’s look at the definition of each term one by one –

a) Ethology – Ethology deals with the study of animal behaviour and the evolutionary factor that led to the development of such behaviour in any organism.  

b) Zoology – It is the study of animals and their nature, physiology, genetic history, evolutionary pattern and behaviour.  

c) Biology – It deals with the study of all sorts of living organisms.  

d) Physiology – It deals with the physical functioning of the organism and their parts.  

It is the zoology that includes study of every thing about animals i.e anatomy, behavior, physiology, evolutionary pattern etc. Thus option B is correct.

the answer is zoology because zoology is the study of animals and thier behaviors, envrionments, and etc.

How many and what type of chromosomes would be expected in a karyotype of a human male? (1 point) 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and 2 Y chromosomes 23 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and 2 Y chromosomes 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, 1 X chromosome, and 1 Y chromosome 23 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, 1 X chromosome, and 1 Y chromosome

Answers

Remember there are 46 chromosomes in a (normal) human nucleus, which consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Of these, one pair are the sex chromosomes.

In females, the sex chromosomes are XX

In males, the sex chromosomes are XY

So the karyotype of a human male would consist of 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, an X chromosome, and a Y chromosome.


The correct answer is

C. 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, 1 X chromosomes, and 1 Y chromosomes
