Biology Questions

Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen

and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have

walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of

a meter.)

Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.

Plant development is influenced by quality, quantity and duration of light. Plants cannot get too much light, but they can get too much of the heat energy that comes with the light.

Plants requires what quantity of light?

* Most of the garden vegetables require full sun, i.e 6 - 8 hrs of direct sunlight daily.

* Plants that grow in partial sun only need 3 - 4 hrs of direct sunlight daily.

* While plants that thrive in shade need less than 2 hours of sunlight daily.
