The answer is the second one: The right side pumps blood to the lungs, while the left side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The right side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body, while the left side pumps blood to the lungs.

    • Incorrect. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, not oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

  2. The right side pumps blood to the lungs, while the left side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

    • Correct. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left side receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body.

  3. The left side is responsible for deoxygenating blood, while the right side is responsible for oxygenating blood.

    • Incorrect. The heart itself does not deoxygenate or oxygenate blood. The lungs are responsible for oxygenating the blood. The left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body, while the right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

  4. The left side pumps blood to the lungs, while the right side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

    • Incorrect. This is the reverse of the actual function. The left side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body, and the right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

  5. Both sides pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body equally.

    • Incorrect. Each side of the heart has a distinct function: the right side pumps blood to the lungs, and the left side pumps blood to the rest of the body.

Summary: The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation, while the left side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

Decide whether each molecule or polyatomic ion is polar or nonpolar. If the molecule or polyatomic ion is polar, write the chemical symbol of the atom closest to the negative side. For example, if the molecule were HCl and you decided the hydrogen atom was closest to the negative side of the molecule, you'd enter "H" in the last column of the table. - molecule or polyatomic ion polar or nonpolar? atom closest to negative side - CH2O polar / nonpolar □ - CH3Cl polar / nonpolar □ - I2 polar / nonpolar □

Risk taking is an important part of investing. In order to make suitable investment decisions on behalf of their customers, portfolio managers give questionnaires to new customers to measure their desire to take financial risks. The scores on the questionnaire are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 14. The lowest possible score from those who are not "risk averse" is 10, are described as "risk neutral." What is the questionnaire score that separates the bottom 10% are classified as "risk averse" from those who are not? Can you answer to the decimal place: Round your answer to one decimal place.

The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 195 cm and a standard deviation of 8 cm . a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 207.50 cm . b. Find the probability that the mean for 25 randomly selected distances is greater than 192.80 cm . c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30 ? a. The probability is 0.0591 . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The probability is 0.9154 . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. Choose the correct answer below. A. The normal distribution can be used because the original population has a normal distribution. B. The normal distribution can be used because the mean is large. C. The normal distribution can be used because the probability is less than 0.5 D. The normal distribution can be used because the finite population correction factor is small.
