Which epithelium is best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues?

Epithelial cells best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues are stratified squamous epithelial cells.

Stratified cells are layered cells, squamous cells are flat and epithelial cells are covering cells. Therefore, stratified squamous epithelial cells are flattened, layered covering cells arranged on a basement membrane.

Stratified squamous epithelial cells have very little to no intercellular spaces which prevent pathogen from passing through and entering into the deeper tissues. They are well suited for resisting abrasion because the uppermost layers are subsequently sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. These types of cells form the outermost layer of the skin.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

a mouthpart that can pierce fruits and seeds

Explanation:

An adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms. That being said the most likely morphological change that would trigger this would be a mouthpart that can pierce fruits and seeds. This new change would allow the beetles to consume most of the different resources that the island has to offer such as the different types of plants and fruits which were previously inaccessible to the beetles.

One of the traits of a scientist is skepticism meaning scientist always possess a certain doubt about a common belief. Weight loss companies often bias their products as to (1) weight loss in a specified amount of time, (2) improvement of physical appearance as seen on advertisements, and (3) improvement of overall health by combating obesity. As a scientist, I use skepticism to evaluate their data by looking at the active ingredients of the product and doing a thorough research and critical appraisal on whether or not the active ingredients of the product works and whether or not the active ingredients are safe.

HELP ASAP PLEASE!! DUE IN 10 MINUTES !!! based on these results which statement correctly predicts what will happen to red blood
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. the red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size.

Explanation:

The movement of the water takes place always from the high concentration region of solute to the low concentration of solute through a semi-permeable membrane. In this case, the representation is showing that placing the cell inside a solution with low concentration solute than the cell makes the cell increase the size, and placing it in a solution high concentration of solute makes it decrease in size due to the transfer of water from more water to the low water area.

Now placing the RBC in a solution with more salt concentration than the cell makes the solution hypertonic which means the solution has more solute concentration and less water so the water move from cell to the solution and cell will shrink and decrease in size.
