Why do arteries need to be thick, muscular, and elastic?

Biology

Valentin [98]3 years ago

blood flows at a high pressure, so if the arteries are thin and less muscular, the arteries can explode due to the pressure. so it needs thick and muscular properties so that it can withstand the increasing pressure of the flow of blood.

im not sure why it needs to be elastic. Hope it helped :)

Which has a greater biotic potential- humans or mice? Why?
Ganezh [65]
Nice because : Biotic potential is the ability of a population of living species to increase under ideal environmental conditions – sufficient food supply, no predators, and a lack of disease. An organism’s rate of reproduction and the size of each litter are the primary determining factors for biotic potential.

I need help please I don’t understand this
aleksley [76]

Answer:

2. It is converted into heat and energy.

Explanation:

So every time an animal eats grass, or another animal it receives 10% of the energy that the previous animal/plant had. If a rabbit ate a carrot, 10 percent of the energy the carrot had in it, will go into the rabbit. the question is asking where the 90% energy from the eaten carrot went.

Answer Explanation:

Most of the energy that isn't stored in the animal/plant is lost as heat or is used up by the body as it digests the animal/plant that was eaten. This is because the animals who consume any of the plants/animals receiving the 10% energy take energy to eat the plant/animal. this takes up the other 90%

I hope this helps :))
