Apical surface is the name of the epithelial cell surface that faces the outside of an organ.

The edge of the epithelium that faces light or the outside environment is called the apical surface.

The apical surface of the epithelial cells, where the lumen of the vesicles and tubules are located, and the inner surface of the body cavities, form the interface between the extracellular and underlying tissues.

It has multiple functions, including absorption and excretion, immune surveillance, sensory conduction, and barrier formation.

These functions are activated by several specializations, including glycocalyx (it cushions and hydrates the apical membrane), apical plasma membrane lipids(it restricts flow of water and solutes), channels and receptors (it regulates active and passive transport and sense the presence of growth factors), cytokines, and mechanical stimuli (eg, tensile and shear stress).

How does genetic diversity affect biodiversity in an area provide an example
ra1l [238]

When humans farm large plantation of one cash crop, they reduce the biodiversity of the region because they reduce the genetic diversity of the species in the environment. A reduction in genetic diversity means that the genetic variability of the species is reduced  hence there are fewer sub-species in the environment. This ultimately reduces the biodiversity of the ecosystem -  which is the variability among all the living organisms in the environment.

adell [148]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

b. The woman may have different gender babies.

c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.

d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.

Answer:

The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

Explanation:

The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.

These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
