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.

Answer:
Plant cells deal with osmosis by being enclosed in a cell wall.
Animal cells use active transport systems to deal with the problem of osmosis.
Fresh water protists have contractile vacuoles to deal with osmosis.
Many bacteria have cell wall to protect them from osmosis.
Explanation:
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall. If a plant cell is places in a place where the conditions are hypotonic, then the cell will tale up water by osmosis but the cell wall will prevent it from bursting. This condition is termed as the cell being 'turgid'.
As animal cells do not have the rigid cell wall, they use the mechanism of active transport system to stop the cell from bursting during osmosis. In this process, ions are moved out of the cell so that the pressure in the cell due to osmosis can be reduced.
Fresh water protists have a structure present in them called as the contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole has the capability to remove any excess water from the cell as well storing water if there is not enough water.
Bacteria have peptidoglycan cell walls to prevent osmosis.
The over-harvesting is one of the biggest threats to endangered species.
<u>Option: B</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
- An organism or group of organism or species that is expected to reach extinction in the immediate future, either internationally or under a limited political authority, is understood as an endangered species.
- This may be at threat because of factors including habitat loss and poaching or over-exploitation.
- There are many species which are getting vanished day by day due to pollution or poaching, for an instance, pangolins, who have been hunted beyond he limits for their skin, scales, meat, and some body parts are utilized by people in making traditional medicine.
- The Indian and Philippine pangolin are listed as endangered while the Sunda and the Chinese pangolin are rated as critically endangered by the IUCN, which contributed to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) prohibiting global trade that had something to do with pangolins or their components.
