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

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!

Brilliant_brown [7]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows;

The number of bacteria in a certain population is predicted to increase according to a continuous exponential growth model, at a relative rate of 16% per hour. Suppose that a sample culture has an initial population of 71 bacteria. Find the predicted population after three hours Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth bacteria .

Answer:

114.7

Explanation:

A (t) represent the population of the bacteria at the time t.

Since, the population grows exponentially, the population can be calculated as follows:

A (t) = Ao × $e^{kt}$
