Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a pursuing coyote?

Your

A. The skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for contraction.
B. The digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrients
C. The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.
D. The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuries

The vertebrates are highly organized organisms, which have developed circulatory, respiratory, neural, and excretory systems.

The rabbit can outrun a coyote due to an increase in the breathing rate and blood pressure by the circulatory system.

Functions of the respiratory and circulatory system are:

Thus, the correct answer is Option C.

C. The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.

Explanation:

Oxygen is a key component in respiration which supplies the body with energy. To be more precise, oxygen is needed for Aerobic Respiration which is the process by which the body turns fats and sugars into fuel using oxygen.

This fuel/energy is then used by cells to engage in activity.

When the Rabbit tries to outrun the coyote, the Respiratory System increases the breathing rate to allow more oxygen in. This oxygen is supplied to cells by blood so the Circulatory system uses the oxygen to increase blood pressure to get blood moving faster so that it can get more oxygen to the cells to enable them produce more energy needed to outrun the Coyote.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

colors do exist. the color of the sky is actually violet; humans percieve the color of the sky as blue.
