Answer:
(a) can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes.
Explanation:
The adherens junctions are cell-cell adhesions localized in places exposed to abrasion or mechanical stress, close to the apical membrane in epithelial cells is one of these locations. Some of their functions are the initiation and stabilization of cell-cell adhesion, <em>they join the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane to form adhesive contacts between cells that contribute to the folding and bending of epithelial sheets,</em> therefore they can mediate adhesion and signaling.
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
Skeletal mass increases dramatically during childhood and adolescence, and decreases dramatically at the beginning of the fourth decade of life and decreases with age, with an exception of the skull.
Hope this helps! Have a BLESSED day! :-)

Abiotic variables found in terrestrial ecosystems can include things like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH, types of soil, and sunlight. The boundaries of an individual abiotic factor can be just as unclear as the boundaries of an ecosystem.These are often referred to as abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living elements found within an ecosystem. There are six abiotic factors that affect plant growth: air, water, space, temperature, light and soil (nutrients).The two most important abiotic factors affecting plant primary productivity in an ecosystem are temperature and moisture.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE[ edit ]
Identify the abiotic factors that affect plant growth
KEY POINTS[ edit ]
Primary production, on which almost all of life on earth is dependent, occurs through either photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Annual biomass production, used to estimate net primary productivity by plants in an area, is directly influenced by an environment's abiotic factors, which include temperature and moisture.
Warm and wet climates have the greatest amount of plant biomass because they offer conditions in which photosynthesis, plant growth, and the resulting net primary productivity are highest.
TERMS[ edit ]
biomass
the total mass of all living things within a specific area, habitat, etc.
eco-region
a region, smaller than an ecozone, that contains a distinct biodiversity of flora and fauna
chemosynthesis
the production of carbohydrates and other compounds using the oxidation of chemical nutrients as a source of energy rather than sunlight; it is limited to certain bacteria and fungi
