Choose the correct answer by clicking the options below.

The diagram below shows a close-up of the air sacs in the human lungs.

The air tubes in the lungs branch into tiny tubes which end in air sacs which are surrounded by blood vessels.

Which of the following statements explains why the blood vessels surrounding the air sacs have very thin walls?

(1) It allows easier movement of air between the blood vessels and air sacs.
(2) It allows the blood to move at a faster speed through the blood vessel.

Choose the correct answer by clicking the options below.

A heart attack occurs when the muscles in the heart are not able to get enough blood. When there is not enough blood in the muscles,
the heart is not able to contract and relax continuously.

How does this affect the human body?

A - Blood would not be pumped around the body.

B - Blood would not transport digested food, oxygen and water to the brain.
C - Blood vessels would become shorter and are not able to reach other parts of the body.
D - Blood vessels would transport carbon dioxide to other parts of the body instead of the lungs.
