What is the difference between choroid and sclera

Biology
1 answer:
fredd [130]3 years ago
3 0

Sclera is the white of the eye. It is the tough outer coat of the eye that covers the eyeball except for the cornea. It is the tough, opaque tissue that serves as the protective outer coat of the eye, providing structure and strength to the eye. There are six small muscles attached to the sclera that control the eye's movements. In older people, the sclera often appears yellow.

Choroid is the vascular layer of the eye lying between the retina and the sclera. It is a high flow vascular tissue that provides nourishment for the back of the eye. In addition, there are pigment cells within the choroid that absorb stray light and so it helps to lessen glare within the eye.

Angiosperms and life on land Many aspects of the angiosperm life cycle make flowering plants particularly well-suited to life on
vova2212 [387]
<h2>Angiosperms </h2>

Explanation:

Angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants, some statements which reflect angiosperm adaptations to life on land:

  • Flowers attract animal pollinators carrying pollen from other plants of the same species
  • Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits
  • In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators
  • Floral parts of the sporophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation
  • Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds
  • Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals

Why do people feel fireworks before hearing it?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

People feel fireworks before hearing it because light travels faster than sound.

Explanation:

We always see the colors of the fireworks before hearing their defeaning sounds. This is because light travels faster than sound, so we can see the light before hearing the sound. An example of this is seeing lightning before hearing thunder. When lightning strikes, the air around it moves very quickly, causing vibrations.
