Compare the thickness of the wall of the superior and inferior vena cava and the aorta

Biology
1 answer:
Pani-rosa [81]4 years ago
5 0
The wall of the aorta is thicker than that of the inferior venacava; this is because the aorta is the artery that carries blood from the heart from the left ventricle to the whole body (except the lungs), while the superior and inferior venacava are the veins that carry blood from the body to the right atrium. Therefore, like the other arteries the aorta has walls that are thicker than those of veins.

The production of protein molecules through transcription and translation
Tpy6a [65]
Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell. RNA polymerase breaks the hydrogen bonds and unzips a portion of DNA. RNA nucleotides match the DNA strand forming mRNA. In mRNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Once mRNA is formed it leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore into the cytoplasm. The purpose of mRNA is to remove the protein code out of the nucleus without pulling the DNA out. mRNA then needs to find ribosomes in the cytoplasm which can be found on the rough ER. mRNA has read three bases at the same time and these are called codons. Ribosomes read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using tRNA. tRNA has an anti-codon on one end which will match a specific codon, and a specific amino acid on the other end. This will make translation happen. 

Translation- mRNA attaches to a ribosome and a start codon must be read. tRNA brings the first amino acid which matches the codon on mRNA. The next tRNA molecule moves in and matches with the codon on mRNA while amino acids form a peptide bond. First tRNA detaches itself and mRNA shifts for the next tRNA molecule to come in. Protein grows until a stop codon is reached and then it's ready to finish folding to become functional.

In this food chain, energy moves from one living thing to another. What source of energy starts this food chain?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

How do you work out energy transfer in a food chain?

Within the food chain energy can be passed and transferred from one organism to another. Whilst mammals get their energy sources from food – whether this be eating other animals or eating vegetation; plants get their energy from photosynthesis. Energy is passed between organisms through the food chain.

Does hydrogen and helium act almost like a furnace in the sun?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Two isotopes of hydrogen, tritium and protium, undergo nuclear fusion in the sun to give helium, neutrons and a tremendous amount of energy. This reaction occurs at the very high temperature found in the sun and yields tremendous amount of energy.

Given the high temperature at which the said fusion reaction occurs, it is safe to say that hydrogen and helium act as a furnace at the core of the sun.

Species that have many offspring at one time are usually:
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

r-selected

Explanation:

R-selected species are organisms The carrying capacity is not a limiting factor. The life span of these individuals is short and in general there is no care with the offspring. They aim to exploit empty niches and produce a large number of offspring each cycle, even though few of them survive to adulthood. Informally it can be said that this is a strategy based on quantity rather than quality. Examples of r-selected species: insects and most fish.
