Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and typically have ________________ blood pressure. Veins carry deoxygenated
KatRina [158]
The correct answer is high, low.

Arteries are part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart and around the body. The arterial blood is oxygenated and this process ensures that every tissue around the body will receive oxygen and nutrients through this blood flow.

Veins are also part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart.

Venous pressure is much lower than the arterial pressure. More specifically, venous pressure ranges from 5 to 8 mmHg, while arterial pressure ranges from 15 to 30 mmHg.

Cite the three main types of RNA and describe briefly the function of each.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

mRNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to protein; serve as template for protein synthesis.

tRNA: Serves as adapter molecule and deliver specific amino acid from the cell pool to the mRNA-ribosome complex.

rRNA: Structural component of ribosomes.

Explanation:

There are three types of nongenetic RNAs: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.  

1. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription in the nucleus. Transcription uses template strand of DNA to specify the nucleotide sequence in mRNA. The mRNA enters cytoplasm to join ribosomes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA serves as a template and specifies the amino acid sequence of proteins.  

2. The transfer RNA (tRNA) serves as an adapter molecule during the process of protein synthesis and binds to the specific amino acids to deliver them to the protein-synthesizing machinery. The anticodon of tRNA binds to the complementary mRNA codons.  

3. The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as structural components for ribosomes. Each of the subunits of ribosomes is made up of rRNA and proteins.
