Name a difference between a vein and artery

Biology
2 answers:
Yuki888 [10]4 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.

Which best describes an experiment?
AleksAgata [21]
A: In a lab a scientist measures the height of roses that received different fertilizers.

An experiment must include variables. The other three are just measurements, but since the scientist is varying the types of fertilizers used, this better describes an experiment. It is also done in a controlled environment (in a lab) which helps to eliminate other uncertainties.

Define the term cell differentiation and describe its importance to an organism
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Cellular differentiation describes how different cells perform different processes and have unique functions. There are at least 250 cells in the human body and each one plays a different role, and <em>all</em> of them are crucial to the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. For example, liver cells produce proteins that are important in blood clotting. If these cells are damaged, blood will not clot properly. If blood does not clot, a body cannot maintain homeostasis and the person will fall ill.

TL;DR: every cell plays its part and keeps the organism alive.
