How do veins differ from arteries

Biology
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Veins carry deoxygenated blood (oxygen poor blood) from other parts of the body to the heart while arteries carry oxygenated blood (oxygen rich blood) away from the heart to other parts of the body.

Explanation: Arteries carry oxygenated blood with the exception of pulmonary artery while veins carry oxygen poor blood with the exception of pulmonary vein.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood towards the heart.

Arteries have thick, elastic, mucscular walls while veins have thin, less elastic walls.

Arteries have smaller holes inside through which blood passes while veins have wider holes.

Blood flows through the arteries at high pressure while blood flows through the veins at low pressure.

What are valence electrons?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The simple answer is the electrons in the outermost energy level.

Hydrogen has 1 electron in the outermost energy level.

Magnesium has 2 so this tells you that magnesium has a charge of 2

Oxygen has 6  oxygen has a charge of - 2

Fluorine has 7

For most elements, the electrons in the most outer ring determine the valence of the element.

Notice that the non metals work differently than the metals. Mg may have a charge of 2 and that is the number of electrons in the valence right.

Oxygen is a non metal it has a charge of - 2. It gets 6 electrons by subtracting the number of its charge from 8.
