The order of blood pressure in blood vessels would be letter "D. veins < capillaries < arteries". The arteries carry the blood towards the veins and has relatively thicker walls because of high pressure. The vein carry blood from capillaries back to the heart.

The order of blood pressure in major types of blood vessels from least pressure to greatest is d) veins < capillaries < arteries.

Arteries receive blood directly from the heart and the pressure of blood in arteries is very high. This is the reason why their walls are thick and elastic so that they could withstand this high blood pressure without being punctured. Arteries carry blood away from the heart towards various tissues. Arteries further distribute blood to various capillaries which have comparatively low blood pressure. Veins on the other hand are the type of blood vessels which carry blood from various tissues towards the heart. The blood pressure in the veins is lowest among all these blood vessels.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

a) 28 cases

b)  3 cases

Explanation:

a) From the table of genetic codes, there are 28 codons that specify more than one amino acid assuming only the first two nucleotides are considered. In these cases, one cannot outrightly specify the amino acid the genetic codes are coding for without knowing the last nucleotide of the codes. <em>For example, UU can be for Phenylalanine or Leucine, CA can be for Histidine or Glutamine, etc. </em>

b) From the table of genetic codes, the first two nucleotides of Arginine can be either of CG or AG, that of Serine can be either of UC or AG while that Leucine can be either of CU or UU. Only in these <u>3 cases</u> would one fail to know which are the first two nucleotides assuming the name of the amino acids are given.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The cell is in a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The solution is hypertonic because the amount of solute(s) is higher outside of the cell than it is inside the cell, so the solvent (e.g. water) would move from the cell to the solution in order to obtain equilibrium between the two.
