The blood vessels farthest from the heart must have valves.

The valves which are present in the blood vessels prevent the backflow of the blood back into the specific organ.

There are different valves present in the heart are:

  • The tricuspid valve is situated between the right atrium and right ventricle.
  • The pulmonary valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
  • The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle.
  • The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Other vales which are present in the blood vessels are in leg. Leg veins do require the valves. If not present the blood will go back down into the feet because of the gravity. Thus there are various valves present in the leg veins.

Valves in veins are bicuspid, meaning they have two flap-like structures that regulate blood flow in the vein.

To know more about the Valves, refer to this link:

Which statement correctly describes the difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water

Transport proteins can become saturated with solute, have specificity for certain substances, undergo conformational (shape) cha
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The given characteristics can be shown by Enzymes.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are substances, mostly proteins, that helps in increasing the speed or rate of a biochemical reaction (conversion of substrate to product) by reducing the activation energy barrier of the reaction.
  • The enzymes which are made up of proteins have an specific location or region inside them which is called the Active Site.
  • The biochemical reaction occurs at this active site.
  • The specific substrate molecule(s) comes and associated with the active site of the enzyme, mostly by means of non-covalent interactions.
  • By means of amino acid side chains (which have a definite pKa) the exact environment (oxidising or reducing) required for the chemical reaction to occur is maintained by the enzyme at its active site.
  • After associating with its substrate(s) the enzyme undergoes certain conformational changes in order to position the substrate(s) in the correct orientation such the biochemical reaction can occur.
  • After the products are formed, the enzyme further undergoes some conformational changes to release them.
  • Enzymes are similar to transport proteins because:
  1. When the concentration of substrates is far more than that of the available enzymes molecules, then the enzymes would get saturated with substrates, like the transport proteins.
  2. The enzymes are highly specific for their substrates like the transport proteins.
  3. The enzymes undergo conformational changes during the biochemical reaction like the transport proteins.
  4. Both the rate of enzymatic reaction and membrane transport is regulated by the cell.
