Two criteria that would identify the three muscle tissues are myofibers and nuclei.
There are three types of muscles:
1. Skeletal-Contains many nuclei along the length of the muscle cell. The nuclei are displaced peripherally. The skeletal fibers are arranged parallel. The myofibril is composed of bands.
2. Smooth-This tissue contain spindle-shaped cells with a single central nucleus. Smooth muscle fibers are shorter than skeletal.
3. Cardiac-The fibers of cardiac muscle are not simply parallel. Cardiac muscle fibers are long cylindrical cells with one or two nuclei.
An animal's physiology can indicate it's diet based on what the animal's body can handle processing. For example, animal's with strong bones and teeth can break down food that is tough to eat, this helps obtain energy alot quicker. For instance, giraffes have long and slender necks that are perfect for reaching up to trees. The giraffe's diet would consist of vegetation located in high levels.
Explanation:
If the concentration of molecules outside the cell is very high relative to the internal cell concentration, the rate of diffusion will also be high. If the internal and external concentrations are similar (low concentration gradient) the rate of diffusion will be low.
