The liver is responsible for the production of most clotting factors. which of the following best describes the role of these clotting factors when a blood vessel is broken?
a) when a vessel ruptures, clotting factors become activated to permit the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin.
b) when a vessel ruptures, clotting factors are immediately released from the liver, find the site of injury and then bind to prevent further blood loss.
c) platelets are made in the liver and store clotting factors. when a vessel ruptures, platelets release these clotting factors which stop blood loss.
d) when a vessel ruptures, clotting factors from the liver stimulate vascular spasms which decrease blood loss from the site of injury.

A) When a vessel ruptures, clotting factors become activated to permit the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin.

Explanation:

When a blood vessel suffers any type of aggression, the body begins a process of homeostasis that prevents heavy bleeding by forming an aggregate of activated platelets, red blood cells and fibrin called thrombi or clots. The clotting factors released by the liver are responsible to form the components of the clot. Over 30 proteins will go through activation and modification to form clots to prevent blood loss.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.  

this is more of a statement than a question. is there answers to go along with this, or is it opinion based?
