Oxygen-rich blood is transported in arteries and oxygen-poor blood is transported in veins, which are distinct collections of blood vessels and never meet. The oxygen in oxygen-rich blood diffuses through cell walls and powers the metabolism of cells, leaving oxygen poor blood behind to be collected by veins and transported to the heart and lungs for reoxygenation.

7 Why is there no passage between the left and right Ventricle?

Because we have what is called a double-circulation system. The right and left side of the heart send blood to different areas of the body, and the blood must be kept separate. The right side sends deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs to be oxygenated. The left side sends oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body. If there were a passage between the left and right ventricles, then a couple of things could happen. Some deoxygenated blood from the body would be recirculated to the body, decreasing the oxygen supply for the body's cells. Also, some oxygenated blood from the lungs would be re-circulated back through the lungs. It would make for a much less efficient system for oxygenating the body and ridding the body of carbon dioxide. ANy such opening would likely be surgically closed if at all possible.


What did the chemist Arrhenius say mixing aqueous acids and bases produces?

Arrhenius proposed that mixing aqueous acids and bases produces salt and water through a neutralization reaction.


What is turbulence mixing?

Turbulence mixing refers to the process of mixing different substances or fluids at a molecular level through turbulent flow. Turbulence in fluids can cause chaotic movement that enhances the mixing of substances by breaking them into smaller scales and increasing their contact area. This phenomenon is important in various natural and industrial processes, such as in ocean currents, atmospheric dynamics, and chemical reactions.


Is iron sulphide made by mixing iron and sulphur together?

Yes, the reaction is possible when the mixture is heated.


What will happen if a plant DNA was mixed on human DNA?

Mixing plant DNA with human DNA is not possible through natural means. Even if it were possible, the outcome would likely be non-viable or result in severe genetic abnormalities due to the vast differences in genetic makeup and biological processes between plants and animals.

Why does the heart separate the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?

There are walls called septa between the two atria and the two ventricles that prevent this mixing. Unborn infants have an opening (foramen ovale) that does allow this and it should close right after birth.


What separates the right side of the heart?

The SEPTUM separates the right side of the heart from the left side. This is to prevent the mixing of oxygenated blood with deoxygenated blood.

Why do birds and mammals have four chambered heart?

Simple answer-The four chambered heart increases the efficiency of delivery of oxygenated blood to tissues by preventing mixing with deoxygenated blood


Is there any possible way to create a prime colour by mixing different colors?

no


Why does a reptile heart have a partial separation of its ventricle?

The partial separation of the ventricle in reptile hearts helps to direct oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to different parts of the body. This arrangement allows for some mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, making the heart less efficient compared to mammals. However, this adaptation is still effective in meeting the needs of reptiles' lower metabolic rates.


How is mixing the primary pigment colors together different from mixing the primary colors of light together?

Mixing primary pigment colors together subtracts certain wavelengths of light, creating new colors through absorption. Mixing primary colors of light together adds wavelengths of light together, resulting in the perception of new colors through additive color mixing.
