Answer:

A. Veins have lower blood pressure than arteries.

Explanation:

During blood sampling, blood is taken from veins as they are present closer to the skin. They have thin walls and no valves. Lower blood pressure in veins as compared to arteries ensures that puncturing the vein does not cause blood loss in higher amount. Arteries have higher blood pressure and puncturing them may cause blood to seep out from the puncture point.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a. Nothing happens because the two solutions are isotonic to one another.

Explanation:

Two solutions of the same molarity are separated from each other by a membrane that allows water molecules but not the glucose or sucrose to move across it. Movement of water across the selectively permeable membrane occurs only when two solutions have different concentrations of solutes. In that case, water moves from a hypotonic solution towards a hypertonic solution. Since both sucrose and glucose solutions have the same tonicity, there would not be any change in the solution.
