Answer:

The speed of blood flow in the capillary bed is \frac{1}{n} times the speed of blood flow in the blood vessel

Explanation:

Let the cross-sectional area of blood vessel be "A"

The speed of flow of blood into the capillaries is "v"

Now , it is given that capillary bed is made up of w "n" numbers of blood vessels with cross section area "A" and and speed "V"

Now as per continuity equation of flow, the flow remains constant when the density is unchanged

Thus ,

Flow in single blood vessel is equal to flow in "n" capillaries of capillary bed

Therefore,

Av= n*A*V\\v= nV\\or \\V= \frac{v}{n}

Hence, the speed of blood flow in the capillary bed is \frac{1}{n} times the speed of blood flow in the blood vessel

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is not taking place and carbon dioxide is not being processed.

Explanation:

The process by which plants make glucose (carbohydrates = energy stores) from carbon dioxide and water is called photosynthesis and uses sunlight energy. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen.So plants use water and sunlight to grow and they produce oxygen. Animals on the other hand eat plants, use oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.

Since the space station is in the shadow of the earth, the plants are unable to complete the process of photosynthesis and the carbon dioxide that is being produced by the humans cannot be utilized by the plants due to no sunlight. There for the carbon dioxide is going to continue to build up as the energy storage molecules are being depleted and not replenished.

Salamanders, ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers all live in aquatic habitats. Salamanders lay their eggs in small freshwater
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. Salamanders

Explanation:

Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in  environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.  

Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.

Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.

What could you do to determine whether the outliers in model 2 are authentic measurements?
Over [174]
<span>To determine if a measurement is authentic, you can check whether the measurement makes sense in the context of whatever is being measured. If a measurement is physically impossible, then it is not authentic. If a measurement is inconsistent or far off from multiple repeated measurements of the same kind, then it is not likely to be authentic, so you could test the authenticity by repeating the measurements.</span>

Why is milk used as a first-aid remedy for someone who has swallowed a heavy-metal poison?
klio [65]
Human trials have indicated an inverse relationship between blood lead level and calcium intake. While milk isn’t an antidote to let’s say, lead poisoning, the dietary calcium inhibits the lead absorption. This sort of poisoning is incredibly dangerous to the systems of the human body, and the ingredients within the milk help to defend against it. The purpose of the milk is to dilute the ingested poison.
