Write your answer in the space provided before each number. (30 mins. with provision for analysis and writing your answer.) 1. The synthesis of an enzyme that creates the blood clot matrix is part of the complex biochemical mechanism. of blood clotting. This has a self-catalytic, or self-accelerating impact, which means that once the clotting process starts, it accelerates until the bleeding stops. 2. When blood pressure is high, the walls of arteries stretch. These walls' baroreceptors likewise stretch, causing a signal to be transmitted to the brain, which causes the body's heart rate to slow. This reduces blood pressure by slowing the flow of blood through the arteries. 3. When blood pressure lowers, baroreceptors become flaccid, and a signal is given to speed up the heart rate. '4.

She decided to process her diagnosis at the local coffee shop. Curling up in an oversized chair with a warm cookie and peppermint hot cocoa with whipped cream always made her feel better. Sitting alone would give her time to think. How could something so important go so wrong in her cells? How did cells get or make the mitochondria anyway? Obviously, cells could survive without mitochondria if they had to, so why had mitochondria evolved in the first place? Just then, Ali, a fellow student in her biology class who made it a point to sit near her each class, walked over to strike up a conversation. "Hi Ivy! Whať's up?" Trying to avoid conversation, Ivy simply shrugged and mumbled, “Not much." Ali gave her a big smile and said "I've noticed that you take good notes in bio, would you want to study together...…arrow_forward
