Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

<h2>A </h2>

Explanation:

1. A channel between two adjacent cells in known as an intercellular cleft.

2. And through these channels many molecules  can easily pass between cells.

3. Importance of Intercellular clefts:

i) It is very important in transportation of fluids and small solutes.  

ii) It contains gap junctions, tight junctions, desmosomes, and adheren proteins and these junctions help in regulate cell communication by signal transduction, surface receptors, or a chemogradient.

A damages axon in the PNS may be able to regenerate only if the cell body is intact. Why do you think that the cell body must be
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

The central nervous system (CNS) does not have capacity to repair itself but, the PNS or the peripheral nervous system can repair and regenerate itself. The PNS can regenerate its damaged axon only when its cell body or cyton and its neurilemma are intact. The proximal end of the cyton has growth cones. The axon grows from the cones.

1. Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snall populations? Explain why the same method would not be useful for counti
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

Hope this helps :D

Give several advantages to passive solar heating uses and active solar system applications
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:A material designed to produce passive solar energy can achieve energy savings of 70%. In addition to this great advantage, we show you what are the main benefits that passive solar energy can bring us:

Reduced maintenance cost. Since it has no external equipment to harness the energy, the maintenance required will be practically nil.

It is 100% renewable energy. It does not emit polluting gases and helps to maintain the environment, in addition to being an inexhaustible source which is the sun and we can always have it.

Energy and economic savings.  

Reduction in the cost of electricity and gas bills.  

Compatible with solar panel installations. In fact, it is currently considered as a complementary technology.  

APPLICATIONS :Active solar energy is mainly used to obtain sanitary hot water, heating systems and to transform solar radiation into electrical energy.

Active solar technology is also used to produce air currents for ventilation or cooling and to store heat for later use. In any of these processes, the use of pumps and fans is required.

Other uses of active solar energy are:

Water purification.

Drying.

Evaporation.

Distillation.

Solar batteries.

Solar chargers.

Energy for street lighting, traffic signals and roads.
