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:

madam [21]
The proteins are called Histone proteins. Chromosomal DNA is packaged such that the strands of DNA are wound around histone proteins and fold into complex ways to form chromosomes. The histone proteins are positively charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is composed of double-helical DNA wrapped.

What are the pros and cons of geothermal energy
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Pros-

Geothermal energy is generally considered environmentally friendly and does not cause significant amounts of pollution.

Geothermal reservoirs are naturally replenished and therefore renewable (it is not possible to exhaust the resources).

Massive potential – upper estimates show a worldwide potential of 2 terawatts (TW).

Excellent for meeting the base load energy demand (as opposed to other renewables such as wind and solar).

Great for heating and cooling – even small households can benefit.

Harnessing geothermal energy does not involve any fuels, which means less cost fluctuations and stable electricity prices.

Small footprint on land – can be built partially underground.

Geothermal energy is available everywhere, although only some resources are profitably exploitable.

Recent technological advancements (e.g. enhanced geothermal systems) have made more resources exploitable and lowered costs.

Cons

- There are some minor environmental issues associated with geothermal power.

Geothermal power plants can in extreme cases cause earthquakes.

There are heavy upfront costs associated with both geothermal power plants and geothermal heating/cooling systems.

Very location specific (most resources are simply not cost-competitive).

Geothermal power is only sustainable (renewable) if the reservoirs are properly managed.
