The functions of epithelial tissue include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception!
Single celled organisms such as amoebas, especially those that live in fresh water, continually gain water from their surrounding environment by osmosis. This water is pumped into a contractile vacuole which fills with fluid and periodically fuses with the cell membrane, releasing its contents to the exterior. Thus the amount of water actively transported out of the cell is equal to the amount of water entering the cell due to osmosis and there are no variations in the tonicity of the cell. This is homeostasis at a simple level. Without the contractile vacuole, the amoeba would continue to absorb water until its cytoplasmic contents were diluted to such an extent that metabolism no longer occurred and it would die.
Multiple sclerosis is a condition where the myelin sheath hardens; disrupts the flow of information through the neurons. Myelin sheath is a layer of fatty cells which helps in the transmission of nerves impulses along the axon by insulating it. It is an outgrowth of a type of glial cell which is formed by a process called myelination or myelinogenesis.
Therefore, the correct answer is Myelin sheath.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. DNA provides the code for the cell's activities, while RNA converts that code into proteins to carry out cellular functions.
