What is the difference in terms of function and structure for arteries and veins?

Biology

Arteries are blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood low in oxygen from the body back to the heart for reoxygenation. ... They're part of two closed systems of tubes that begin and end at the heart. I hope this helps. Have a great day. ☺️

100 POINTS!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER!!!
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Firstly, when we exercise, or do some activity (in this case football), we use more energy than usual...

The reason some of her body systems work faster than normal, is to keep the body working and in the equilibrium, so that she won’t get tired too fast.

Related to circulation, her blood flow increases, since she needs more oxygen to reach the muscles faster, due to the exercise/activity (Lactic acid builds up, so more oxygen is required.)

Her breathing increases to take in more oxygen(O2), and give out more carbon dioxide(CO2).

Her body respires more(respiration), both aerobically(with oxygen), and anaerobically(without oxygen), lactic acid builds up due to anaerobic respiration.

(Here, energy is released from glucose to generate a substance called lactic acid. ... Therefore anaerobic respiration cannot be used for a prolonged period of time without having damaging effects on a cell.)

When she inhales (Oxygen), it goes to the lungs, to the alveoli ( Alveoli are tiny air sacs in your lungs that take up the oxygen you breathe in and keep your body going)

In the Alveoli, diffusion takes place, this is where oxygen is diffused into the blood, and carbon dioxide is diffused (taken into) into the lungs.

Then we exhale, which gives out the carbon dioxide(CO2), this happens really fast, we also breathe so fast, this process happens within seconds.

Red blood cells contain something called haemoglobin, this combines with oxygen To form oxyhaemoglobin, then when the red blood cell reaches the muscle, it gives the oxygen, converting oxyhaemoglobin back to  haemoglobin.

Heart: pumps blood faster (as I said before), to ensure oxygen gets distributed faster to where it’s needed

Which of the following best describes how mitosis and meiosis result in daughter cells with different numbers of chromosomes?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In Meiosis, cells are divided twice to the give haploid cells ( four cells) with half the number of chromosomes in the original cell, while in mitosis, cells only divide once to give identical cell with the same number of chromosomes as its origin.

Explanation:

Meiosis  is a process where a cell divides to give four cells, with the chromosomes half of that of the original cell. This cell division helps produce your genital cells like sperm and female egg. There are nine stages in meiosis.

Mitosis is a process of cell division where a single cell divides just once to produce two identical cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
