In arteries, blood flows under pressure so that their walls are thick and elastic. In veins the blood is no longer under pressure. Therefore, their walls are thin. Rather, they possess semilunar valves to check back flow of blood.

 Question 61: A student soaked 5 g of raisins in beaker (A) containing 25 mL of ice-chilled water and another 5 g of raisins in beaker (B) containing 25 mL of tap water at room temperature. After one hour the student observed that:
(1) water absorbed by raisins in beaker (A) was more than that absorbed by raisins of beaker (B).
(2) water absorbed by raisins in beaker (B) was more than that absorbed by raisins of beaker (A).
(3) the amount of water absorbed by the raisins of both beakers (A) and (B) was equal.
(4) no water was absorbed by raisins in either of the beakers (A) and (B).
