<h2>The correct answer is: A. Veins cannot prevent the backflow of blood. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Blood, the fluid connective tissue, conducts nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body and removes waste products and carbon dioxide from the cells of the body through blood vessels called Arteries and Veins.
  • The Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to all the parts of the body (except pulmonary artery) while the Veins carry deoxygenated blood from all the parts of the body to the heart (except pulmonary vein).
  • Arteries have thick muscular wall with narrow lumen and are devoid of valves. Blood flows in huge pressure through them. They remain deep seated in the body.
  • Veins have thinner muscular wall with wider lumen. They have valves to maintain unidirectional blood flow and prevent the backflow of blood because the pressure applied by the blood on the walls of the veins is lower than arteries. Veins are superficially situated in the body.
  • Varicose vein is a disease condition characterized by the swelling and twisting of veins and abnormal functioning of the valves of the veins. As a result of this, the backflow of blood in the vein cannot be prevented, thereby causing pain.

<u><em>All of the options are correct. </em></u>

Explanation:

In ecology, competition can be described as a fight between two organisms for limited resources like water, food shelter etc. Competition might occur in organisms from different species or it might occur in organisms of the same population.

Let's consider an area where the population of females is lesser as compared to males. In this area, the males will compete for mating with the females.

If there is limited space, birds of an area will compete for nesting sites.

In an area where the population is more than the carrying capacity, the organisms will compete for food.

Leona [35]

The answer is;  A


This model hypothesizes how life started during the early conditions of the earth which were hot and filled with greenhouse gases in its atmosphere about 4 billion years ago. It is explained by the theory of spontaneous generation where organic molecules were created from inorganic molecules spurred from energy from lightning. These organic molecules filled the water bodies and chemically arranged themselves, over time, into primordial life.
