Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Biomagnification refers to a phenomenon in which the harmful toxic chemical gest magnified or amplified or increases in the food chain trophic level.

The biomagnification is caused by the bio-accumulation of the toxic material in the organisms.

The harmful toxic chemical enters the food chain through eating like when the crops are sprayed with pesticides and insecticides runoff in the water. From there the toxic material enters the aquatic food chain like from the planktons to fish and then to vultures.

The organisms at higher trophic level die because of the accumulation of the infected lower trophic organisms.

Thus, Increases is the correct answer.

Why do the circulatory systems of land vertebrates have separate circuits to the lungs and to the rest of the body?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Because it prevents venous blood from mixing with arterial blood (which is rich in oxygen), in this way the circulation is more efficient.

Explanation:

In land vertebrates, the blood circulation is structured in two independent circuits: the pulmonary circulation, where oxygenation of the blood occurs and the elimination of the carbonic anhydride that it contains, returning back to the heart through its left atrium; and the systemic or major circulation, impelled from the left ventricle, transports the oxygenated blood and the nutrients that it assimilates as it passes through the digestive system, to the tissues of the animal, where it is charged again with anhydride carbonic and other waste substances, returning back to the heart, where it enters through the right atrium. These systems are independent and prevents venous blood (which is poor in oxygen) from mixing with arterial blood. These systems are independent and prevents venous blood (which is poor in oxygen) from mixing with arterial blood.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

B. Two functions of carbohydrates are structural support and transferring genetic information

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are synthesized in green plants, thanks to photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide (CO2) and water are converted into glycides, with energy provided by light. The energy stored in the glucose molecule during photosynthesis is released in the degradation (catabolism) of glucose, producing water and CO2.

From the point of view of metabolism, the main function of carbohydrates in plant organisms is to provide energy and provide structural support. This can be seen in the question above, because we can see that in spring, when stem growth is at its fastest pace, cellulose production rates increase in some plants, while in months with less sunlight, the level of starch decreases in some plants.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1- the purpose of blood flow-circulatory system- is to convey  Oxygenated blood, oxygen bonded with haemoglobin in the RBC with Nutrients - and distributed these through the arteries  and capillaries  away from the heart,  to reach the cells and tissues, and transported the wastes of theses cells and tissues , with C02 through the veins back to the heart and the kidney.

2. During diastole,deoxygented blood from the inferior and superior vena cavae entering the R.atrium, passes through the tricuspid valve into the Right Ventricle. Simultaneously, oxygenated blood returning through the pulmonary veins enters the left Atrium,emptied  through the bicuspid valve into the Left.Ventricle.

During systole, the two ventricles contracts. The Right ventricle contracts, the pressure of the blood forces  the tricuspid valve to close,and therefore de -oxygenated blood pushes the pulmonary  valves to open and blood passes through the pulmonary artery to reach the lungs where exchanges of oxygen with carbon dioxide occurs.The blood is now oxygenated and returns to the left atrium via pulmonary veins.

Simultaneously, the left ventricle contracts,the oxygenated blood it contains forced the bicuspid valve to close so that blood is  forced through the aortic valve  to empty into the aorta into  the systemic circulation,branches of the carotid artery supplies the heart from the aorta.

The Whole cycle continues.
