Arteries are blood carrying vessels which have thick, elastic, muscular walls, have no valves and in which blood flows under high pressure. The make up of arteries is unique to their function of transporting blood under high pressure.
All arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to all other parts of the body, with the exception of the pulmonary artery which carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that transports blood which has not been oxygenated.
Answer:
Circulating air is diverted due to the Earth's rotation. Instead of flowing in a straight line, air in the Northern Hemisphere deflects to the right, whereas in the Southern Hemisphere it deflects to the left, resulting in curved trajectories. The Coriolis effect is the name for this deflection.
Explanation:
C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.

Glycolysis produces pyruvate as a product.
