olasank [31]

Answer:

D. Femoreal vein.

Explanation:

Close to the popliteal artery, the popliteal vein extends and transports blood from the knee (and also the muscles from the thigh and calf) once again up to the heart. This vein has its origin in the joint between both the anterior and posterior tibial veins, proximal to the knee.

Also, the popliteal vein starts its extension from the popliteal artery, which can be found behind the knee, and the drainage of the peroneal vein is performed by it prior to reaching the knee joint, where the popliteal vein becomes known as the femoral vein.

Modern scientists continue the tradition of the Greek philosophers in their efforts to understand the world around them. They kn
ddd [48]

Answer:

From Thales, who is often considered the first Western philosopher, to the Stoics and Skeptics, ancient Greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the Western intellectual tradition. Here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. We find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the Milesian thinkers, and we hear Democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter. With Socrates comes a sustained inquiry into ethical matters—an orientation towards human living and the best life for human beings. With Plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some have since attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology. Plato’s student, Aristotle, was one of the most prolific of ancient authors. He wrote treatises on each of these topics, as well as on the investigation of the natural world, including the composition of animals. The Hellenists—Epicurus, the Cynics, the Stoics, and the Skeptics—developed schools or movements devoted to distinct philosophical lifestyles, each with reason at its foundation.

With this preference for reason came a critique of traditional ways of living, believing, and thinking, which sometimes caused political trouble for the philosophers themselves. Xenophanes directly challenged the traditional anthropomorphic depiction of the gods, and Socrates was put to death for allegedly inventing new gods and not believing in the gods mandated by the city of Athens. After the fall of Alexander the Great, and because of Aristotle’s ties with Alexander and his court, Aristotle escaped the same fate as Socrates by fleeing Athens. Epicurus, like Xenophanes, claimed that the mass of people is impious, since the people conceive of the gods as little more than superhumans, even though human characteristics cannot appropriately be ascribed to the gods. In short, not only did ancient Greek philosophy pave the way for the Western intellectual tradition, including modern science, but it also shook cultural foundations in its own time.

Plant leaves produce starch as an energy molecule through the process of photosynthesis. Starch is a polysaccharide. Which monos
Sonja [21]

Monosaccharide molecule is produced and stored as energy for future use is Glucose.

Unlike people, plants must produce their own energy through photosynthesis in order to meet their needs for fuel. Plants produce and store starch in their leaves for short-term needs.

A polysaccharide, such as starch, is created when a series of glucose molecules are bonded together to form a longer molecule.

In starch, there are two varieties of polysaccharides:

  • Amylose – a linear chain of glucose
  • Amylopectin – a highly branched chain of glucose

Depending on the plant, starch is made up of between 20-25% amylose and 75-80% amylopectin.
