What are the reasons for ultra-thin and transparent nature of epidermal cells?​

Biology
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Epidermal cells secrete the waxy hydrophobic substance cutin that polymerizes on the surface, forming a barrier to water evaporation. Epidermal cells are transparent because their plastids remain small and undifferentiated; hence light readily penetrates through to the photosynthetic tissues beneath the epidermis.

mart [117]

Answer:

Organs of excretion make up the excretory system.

They include the :

kidneys-Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys and leave the body in urine form. They are part of the urinary system, which also includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra

large intestine-By-products enter the intestine and leave the body in the form of feces

liver- breaks down harmful substances. It's by-products are excreted into bile or blood.

skin-Sweating eliminates excess water and salts, as well as a small amount of urea, a byproduct of protein catabolism

lungs- oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled

Hope this helps!!!!!!

Forever friend and helper,

What is another animal that exhibits an incredible phenomenon and how can it be used to make life better for humankind
Phantasy [73]
The Gecko. While human-made devices inspired by gecko feet have emerged in recent years, enabling their wearers to slowly scale a glass wall, the possible applications of gecko-adhesion technology go far beyond Spiderman-esque antics. A researcher is looking into how the technology could be applied in a high-precision industrial setting, such as in robot arms used in manufacturing computer chips.
