Explanation

(c) Ventricular diastole is the relaxation of ventricles that occurs due to the tissue. The tissue of heart results in contraction and relation due to their electrical activity. ​The contraction of the tissue of atria increases blood pressure that results in the opening of bicuspid and tricusid valves and blood rushes insdie the ventricles causing their relaxation (diastole).

Explanation

(b) RBCs contain haemoglobin. It has four polypeptide chains and four haem groups attached to it or 4 atoms of iron in ferrous form (Fe2+), thus it can react with 4 molecules of oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin.

Explanation

(d) Matured mammalian RBCs do not have cell organelles including nucleus, Golgi bodies mitochondria, ribosomes, centrioles and endoplasmic reticulum. It increases the surface area of RBCs and enables them to contain more haemoglobin. In the absence of cell organelles, the consumption of oxygen is very low and thus anaerobic respiration occurs in RBCs. Mature RBCs cannot replicate and cannot synthesize RNA as they do not possess machinery required (e.g., various enzymes) for replication and RNA synthesis.

Explanation

(a) The chordae tendineae or heart strings are cords like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. The chordae tendinae prevents the flaps from being everted upto the right atrium, these cord-like tendons hold in position other flaps, such as bicuspid or mitral valve.
