Which of these is a function of the blood? a) carry oxygen to the cells b) carry wastes to be removed c) both are functions of blood

c) Both are functions of blood, that is, to carry oxygen to  the cells and also remove wastes from the body.

Explanation:

Blood is a form  of connective  tissue and is made up of red blood cells,  white blood cells, platelets and blood plasma. The red blood cells contains a metallo-protein structure known as hemoglobin. This hemoglobin binds to the oxygen and carry them to the cells and the tissues for proper functioning of them. The waste products like carbon dioxide is carried by the blood from the body tissues to expel it out from the body.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

explanation:

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.
