Excitable cells like those found in muscle tissue are expected to be present in higher quantities in arteries than in veins.

<h3>What are Excitable cells?</h3>

Excitable cells are defined as those cells that are capable of generating electrical impulses when stimulated. Example of such cells include:

  • Neurons,

  • muscle cells( smooth, skeletal and cardiac)

  • Endocrine cells.

The artery is made up of higher amount of smooth muscles than the veins therefore, excitable cells like those found in muscle tissue are expected to be present in higher quantities in arteries than in veins.

How do radiation and chemotherapy affect cancer cells?
elixir [45]

Answer:

They destroy the DNA or RNA

Explanation:

Cancer drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA. The faster the cancer cells divide, the more likely it is that chemotherapy will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink. They also induce apoptosis. Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The radiations also induce apoptosis. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stops dividing and die. The damaged cells die, they are broken down and removed by the body.

Some plants increase in height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches. The processes that
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation

Explanation:

There are several ways through which plants grow which may include the process of mitosis mainly that involves cell division. The increase in height in plants is attributed to not only cell division but also growth of the newly formed cell.

Mitosis involved division of cell and in cell growth, cells increase their size that ultimately cause growth of plant height. The highly active growth cells are meristem cells that are found at tips of the plants. They are actively dividing zones of plants and with their division and growth plant increases their heights.

Another mechanism, responsible for increase in height is cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process during which cells are specialized to perform specialized function. For example: Xylem are specialized for transport of water. Phloem are specialized for the transport of food. Similarly, some cells are specialized for growth and they are aimed at increasing in size and division that ultimately increase the plant height.

So, mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation are the mechanisms, that increase plant height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches.

Hope it helps!
