Chapter 15, Problem 11RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cardiac output in an individual represents the amount of blood that can be pumped by the heart in a minute. The cardiac output of a healthy individual ranges from 4500-8000 mL/min. It depends on both, the stroke volume (amount of blood pumped by the heart in each contraction) and the heart rate (number of times the heart beats in a minute). The cardiac output is altered by a change in the stroke volume caused by various physiological conditions and drug intake.

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
