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 :)

In the 1800s, how did Darwin explain the origin of species?
Aleksandr [31]

In the 1800s, Darwin explains the origin of species. As species originate through adaptation by natural selection.

Answer: Species originate through adaptation by natural selection

<u>Explanation: </u>

The Origin of species through natural selection is a pioneering scientific effort of the British naturalist Charles Darwin in England. Darwin's theory is that organisms are gradually evolving through what is called "natural selection"

Why does atp production via oxidative phosphorylation require an intact mitochondrial membrane?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Production of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation require an intact mitochondrial membrane because of the creation of an electrical potential.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a method, in which energy is converted into ATP by a sequence of protein complexes located inside the mitochondrial inner membrane. Production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation requires an intact mitochondrial membrane because a change in electrical charge between both sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane results in the creation of an electrical potential. The protons have accumulated on the exterior of the mitochondria, making it positive (H), while the protons have been lost within, making it negative. On each surface of the membrane, a differential or gradient in chemical concentration has been formed. The cell transmits the energy stored in the decreased NADH and FADH via the electrochemical gradient.
