Answer:

The correct answer is: Type 1 Pneumocytes, and Type 2 Pneumocytes.

Explanation:

The alveoli are structures that form a hollow cavity and are found in the lungs. Alveoli have the very important task of gas exchange, in which deoxygenated blood becomes oxygenated blood to be distributed to every organ in the body.

Alveoli walls are composed of two types of cells:

  • Type 1 Pneumocytes have the function of gas exchange between the capillaries, and for that reason, they are very thin and permeable.
  • Type 2 Pneumocytes have the function to produce surfactant, a substance very important to maintain the elastic recoil of the lungs. Without surfactant, the lungs would collapse.

Suppose the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and does not function properly.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:The might likely die.

Explanation:

Phloem and xylem tissues are the major conducting tissues in plant. Xylem conduct ( transports) water and minerals salts from the soil through the roots to all parts of the plant while phloem conducts manufactured food from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Now, if the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and not functioning well, the manufactured food will not get to other parts of the plant where it is needed or supposed to be stored.

If the plant is no longer getting these nutrients, its growth and development will be affected. It might lead to the death of the plant.

A group of scientists are observing a new found cell. They want to classify it as either a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell
valkas [14]
  • The question can be solved by using the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell.
  • Prokaryotic cell does not have a well defined nucleus. The nuclear material lies naked in the cytoplasm. It is known as nucleoid. While, eukaryotic cell has a well defined nucleus with a nuclear membrane.
  • Prokaryotic cell has a single chromosome while eukaryotic cell has more than one chromosome.
  • Finally, prokaryotic cell do not have membrane-bound cell organelles while eukaryotic cell have membrane-bound cell organelles.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
