Name a difference between a vein and artery

Biology
2 answers:
Yuki888 [10]3 years ago

Arteries like veins, are tube-shaped vessels that carry blood in the body. 
But the difference is that the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. But the veins carry poor-oxygen blood back from the body to the heart! 
I hope this helps! :)

Arteries carry oxgenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick elastic walls to withstand high blood pressure being pumped from the blood. This is why they appear red in colour.

On the other hand, veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. They are thin in comparison to the artery, as they are under lower blood pressure. However, veins contain valves to prevent backflow of blood as veins carry deoxygenated blood.

When do feedback loops fail to work on an ecosystem?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Feedback loop will fail in an ecosystem if the factors regulating the feedback mechanisms fail to function.

Explanation:

Feedback loop is the phenomena in which output is circled back in a way that it is used as input again i.e the reaction is circled back. Its a continuous process.

There are two types of feedback loops, positive and negative, one functions to reinforce and other functions to balance. Positive feedback loops enhance the outputs while negative lower the output and keeps the balance. the variables that are involved in all these processes effect each others so, by eliminating such variables or factors will cause failure of feedback loops.

36. Breezes are named
77julia77 [94]

The correct answer is - D- for the feature they blow from.

The breezes have all sorts of names, most of which tend to be derived from the feature they flow from. Lot of winds are named after the side of the world that they come from, so there's easterlies, westerlies, northern winds, southern winds. Some are maned after a river, as they flow along side it, like Vardarec. Some may be named after a mountain, or just have a name similar to a mountain, like mountain wind, forest wind, gorski vetrec.

Some winds, on the other hand, have names that describe their force, especially that goes for the strong ones, like bura along the Croatian coast on the Adriatic Sea.
