Name two ways that veins and arteries are different.

1 answer:

3 0

The chief difference between arteries and veins is the job that they do. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart.

Another difference would be veins have valves and arteries do not. In arteries, blood flows in the right direction because of the heart pumping it forwards at high pressures. The lower blood pressure in veins means that valves are needed to stop blood flowing backwards (for example, in veins in the legs, blood needs to flow upwards against the pull of gravity).

Compare the number of pollen grains in each flower with the number of ovules. why do you think there is a difference?

ra1l [238]

The role of the pollen is for the sperm to reach the egg. In the process of transportation, a lot of pollen grains can get lost and therefore there is greater need for it to be more than the ovules, since the eggs do not have to be transported anywhere.

Simora [160]

Most lipids are nonpolar. This property causes lipids to be water-insoluble in the bloodstream. Lipoproteins form water-soluble complexes for transport through the bloodstream by surrounding nonpolar lipids with polar phospholipids and proteins .

A central hydrophobic core of non-polar lipids, predominantly cholesterol esters and triglycerides, makes up the complex particles known as lipoproteins. Since lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides are not soluble in water, they must be carried in the bloodstream along with proteins called lipoproteins.

These lipoproteins are essential for the small intestine to absorb and transport dietary lipids, for lipids to travel from the liver to peripheral tissues, and for lipids to travel from peripheral tissues to the liver and intestine.
