100 points According to the National
Institute of Health, ventricular tachycardia is a fast, regular beating of the ventricles that may last for only a few seconds or for much longer. A few beats of ventricular tachycardia often doesn't cause
problems. However, episodes that last for more than a few seconds can be dangerous. Ventricular tachycardia can turn into other, more serious arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation.
Based on the passage above, how will prolonged ventricular tachycardia affect blood pressure?
O It will increase blood pressure because the ventricles are contracting with more force.
O It will increase blood pressure because the ventricles are filling with more blood between beats.
O It will decrease blood pressure because there is a longer rest period beats of the ventricles.
O It will decrease blood pressure because the ventricles are filling with less blood between beats.

You decide that the introduction should also discuss the extremophiles that are referred to as the archaea. these single-cell organisms are considered "extremophiles" due to their ability to survive and reproduce in environmental conditions that would be hostile for most living organisms. archaea species have been isolated from highly acidic sulfur springs, ocean floor thermal vents with temperatures that exceed boiling, and subarctic ice well below freezing. while still considered to be prokaryotic, the archaea have numerous differences that place them apart from the bacteria. choose the characteristics that separate the archaea from other prokaryotic cells. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. archaea lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. the morphology of the cell is rigid and is geometric in shape, similar to a sphere or cylinder. the cytoplasmic membrane lipids of archaea have branched or ringform hydrocarbon chains. all currently identified and characterized archaea have been linked as the causative agent to an animal or human disease.

This class has taught you that the use of science and medicine in practical ways has become an international endeavor. one of the greatest examples of an international science accomplishment is which allows the profiling of human dna, useful not only to science but also medicine. a) forensic science b) the fbi c) the human genome project d) bioterrorism
