In general, the walls of arteries are thinner than the walls of veins. True or False?

Biology

False.

Artries in general have thicker walls than veins. (thicker tunica media)

This is because artries need to withstand high blood pressure when the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body while veins carry blood (deoxygenated) at lower pressures, hence they are thinner compared to artries

Hope This helps!

The difference in concentration between solutions on either side of a cell membrane is?
SpyIntel [72]

The difference in concentration between solutions on either side of a cell membrane is a concentration gradient.

In the field of biology, a concentration gradient can be described as a difference in the concentration of molecules inside and outside of a cell. It is due to concentration gradient that molecules move into and out of a cell through the cell membrane.

Some molecules move from an area of higher concentration gradient to an area of lower concentration along the concentration gradient. Diffusion is an example of such a process.

On the other hand, some molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration against the concentration gradient. Active transport is an example of such a process.
