Introduction:
Arteries and veins consist of epithelial cells which collectively form a layer of endothelium. Endothelium layer is surrounded by layers of connective tissues consisting of smooth muscle cells, and connective tissue.

Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Endothelium, connective tissue, and smooth muscle describe the layers of the wall of arteries and veins from inside to outside. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
Option (b) is given as “endothelium, smooth muscle, connective tissue”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reason for the correct statement:
The thick wall of arteries consists of three tunics; tunica interna contain endothelial lining, tunica media contain smooth muscle and elastic tissue, and tunica externa consist of connective tissue.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “endothelium, connective tissue, smooth muscle cells”.
Arteries and veins contain endothelium, surrounded by smooth muscle and then connective tissue. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “smooth muscle, connective tissue, and endothelium”.
Endothelium forms the most internal layer of the wall of arteries and veins. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “connective tissue”.
Connective tissue forms the outer most layer of arteries and veins. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
The thick wall of arteries consists of three tunics; the innermost endothelial lining, a middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic tissue, and the outer most layer of connective tissue.

- Biology Questionarrow_forward✓ Details Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forwarddrawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked.
