What's the difference between an artery and a vein?

Biology
2 answers:
lana [24]3 years ago

Answer:  An artery carries blood away from the heart; a vein carries blood to the heart.

Explanation: Veins carry blood towards the heart. This blood has given most of its oxygen to the body, so it is low on oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It enters the right side of the heart and travels to the lungs. There, the lungs eliminate carbon dioxide and exchange it for more oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood enters the left side of the heart. Then, arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary circulation brings blood from the heart to the lungs and back. Systemic circulation brings blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back.

Hope this helps!!! :))))))

The difference between an artery and a vein is that arteries are larger, more muscular and more elastic than veins; they carry blood that is under pressure from having been pumped out of the heart; veins are under much less pressure, so they are not as strong

A ________ is an animal that can transfer infectious pathogens from one host to another.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

<u>Diseases can be transmitted by the mechanical or the biological vector. Vector is an animal (typically can be called as an arthropod) which carries disease from one host to another. </u>

Mechanical transmission is the one in which an animal which carries the pathogen from on host body to the another without being infected by it. It is facilitated by the mechanical vector.

Biological transmission is th eone which occurs when pathogen reproduces within the biological vector which transmits pathogen from one host body to the another.

If a spinach plant with flat (FF) green (GG) leaves is crossed (pollination and fertilization occur) with another spinach plant
never [62]

Answer:

The offsprings of this cross will inherit the flat (F) and green (G) alleles from the first parent and also the crinkly (f) and purple (g) alleles from the second parent. However, the offsprings will only inherit the flat, green traits.

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for leaf shape and leaf color respectively. The alleles for flat (F) and green (G) leaves are dominant over the alleles for crinkly (f) and purple (g) leaves.

According to this question, If a spinach plant with flat (FF) green (GG) leaves is crossed with another spinach plant with crinkly (ff) purple (gg) leaves, all the offsprings in the F1 generation will possess a FfGg heterozygous genotype.

This genotype means that the F1 offsprings of this cross will inherit the flat (F) and green (G) alleles from the first parent and also the crinkly (f) and purple (g) alleles from the second parent. However, they will only inherit the flat, green traits because they are dominant over the crinkly and purple trait.

What are the roles of producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem
mariarad [96]

Answer: The producers refers to green plants that carry out the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food for themselves and others. The principal function of producers is to manufacture food for themselves and all other living organisms.

The consumers refers to those living organisms that can not produce their own food and have to depend on the food produce by others. Consumers can be categorized into primary, secondary and tertiary consumers depending on where they are located on the trophic levels. They can also be classified as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores depending on the type of food they eat. The major function of consumers is transference of energy. Consumers transfer the energy they obtain from the food they eat to those animals that feed on them.

The decomposers are those micro organisms that are majorly found in soils.The principal function of decomposers is to break down dead organic matters so that they can be absorbed by the roots of plants. The broken down organic substances serve as nutrients, which the plants used to grow and develop.

These three types of organisms work together in the ecosystem to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
