Which of the following statements explains why there is an elastic layer found in arteries, but not veins? The total length of a

rteries in the body is more than the total length of veins, and the elastic layer helps push the blood over the longer length. Valves present in veins provide a mechanism for withstanding high blood pressure flow going through veins. Arteries are thicker than veins, and the elastic layer is necessary to support the additional weight of arteries. Blood pressure is higher in arteries than veins, and the elastic layer helps maintain the structure of the artery.

Answer:

Blood pressure is higher in arteries than veins, and the elastic layer helps maintain the structure of the artery.

Explanation:

Blood pressure in arteries is higher because the arteries are the ones in charge of taking the blood that is freshly oxygenated from the hearth and into the body, this means that they have to endure a higher pressure since the blood that they carry is being pushed by the hearth at a certain rate, the veins need to be elastic so the pressure won´t tear them.

How can you tell a vein from other structures in the leaf?
nevsk [136]
You can tell the vein from the others by holding the leaf up to a light. This makes the leaf a bit see through and the veins will be clearly visible as they do not become semi-transperent. You can also put paper on top of the leaf and rub gently over the paper with crayon to see the veins. They will make darker or lighter lines on the paper depending on if you have the leaf facing up or down.

You forgot to ask a friend to water your plants while you were on vacation. When you got home you noticed they were wilting. Wha
stellarik [79]
The appropriate answer is b. turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is also known as hydrostatic pressure and is the force of the water inside the cell of the plant that pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall. When this force is strong the cell or the plant is said to be turgid. This pressure is maintained by the process of osmosis.
Plants react differently to the stimulus of light. They will grow or turn leaves towards light.
