Answer:

Artery : carries blood away from the heart, largest blood vessel in diameter

Vein : carries blood to the heart, has a thin endothelial layer.

capillary : exchanges nutrients with tissues, single walled.

Explanation:

Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart to the body. They are the largest blood vessels in the body and have thick elastic walls.

Capillaries are blood vessels that carry blood away from body and exchange waste, nutrients, and oxygen with cells or tissues. Capillaries are smallest blood vessels and their walls contain only a single layer of tissues.

Veins are blood vessels that transport the blood from the body to the heart. Veins have less connective and smooth muscle tissue that make veins' walls thinner that walls of arteries.

List and explain nonspecific immune defenses in plants found in a chaparral

garik1379 [7]

Plants’ nonspecific immune responses includes cell-surface receptors (pattern recognition proteins) which allow them to identify certain patterns characteristic for pathogens. Activated receptors trigger the production of chemical signals that may initiate both local and systemic defense responses. Sometimes when a plant is affected by infection, it triggers rapid localized programmed cell death to stop the infection further. When it comes to defense form the herbivores, plants have physical barriers (plant cell walls and their extensions), some antibiotic compounds (phytoalexins), and even enzymes that can defend them.

The diagram shows two cells. Identify structures C, D, and E and explain how they work together to perform a specific process wi

soldi70 [24.7K]

Structure C, D, and E in the diagram represent the endoplasmic reticulum, the ribosome, and the Golgi apparatus respectively.

When the ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, they give it a rough appearance.

The ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus work together in the synthesis and transport of protein within the cell. In other words, they are all involved in the secretory pathway of cells.

The ribosome represents the actual site of protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum gets involved by folding the synthesized proteins and packaging them into secretory vesicles. Thereafter, the vesicles are transported to the Golgi apparatus.
The packaged proteins undergo further processing within the Golgi apparatus before they are exported to the cell membrane via the cytosol.

In other words, the 3 organelles work together to form the secretory pathway of the cell. They are involved in the synthesis, packaging, processing, and eventual transport of proteins to their target sites.
