Liula [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

c. because arteries carry high pressure blood from the heart

Explanation:

Arteries carry the oxygenated blood that is pumped directly from the left ventricle of the heart. Since they receive blood from the heart, the blood pressure is higher in arteries than veins. To withstand the higher pressure of blood pumped by heart, arteries have thicker walls than the walls of veins.

What is periderm and protoderm and where do they originate from in a new plant ?
Sati [7]
Periderm is the corky outer layer of a plant stem which the plant creates as a result of an injury or infection so as to protect itself further. Protoderm is the thin layer which covers embryos, as well as the root and stems, and later produces epidermis, which is the outer layer of tissue of plants (anywhere where periderm doesn't cover them).
