<h3>⇝ <u>Epidermis</u> :</h3>
Protective tissues includes epidermis & cork. Epidermis is basically a simple permanent tissue, protective in function. It forms one-cell-thick covering over all the parts of plant.
<h3>⇝ <u>Characteristics of Epidermis</u> : </h3>
- Epidermis is formed of living cells, arranged in a single layer.
- In aerial parts, epidermis is covered with a waterproof and noncellular waxy covering called cuticle.
- Cells form a continuous layer, but in leaves epidermis has small openings called stomata.
- Each stoma is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped guard cells which govern opening & closing of stomatal aperture.
<h3>⇝ <u>Functions of Epidermis</u> :</h3>
- Epidermis protects the underlying tissues from mechanical injury, chemicals & infection.
- Cuticle of epidermis protects against water loss & desiccation. It checks the rate of transpiration & evaporation and prevents wilting.
- Stomata in the epidermis of leaves help in gaseous exchange during respiration & photosynthesis.

1. tiny sacs within the lungs which increase the surface available for gas exchange = alveoli
2. a digestive enzyme that breaks down starches and glycogen into sugars = amylase
3. the two thin-walled chambers that receive blood into the heart from the veins = atria
4. the two tubes into which the trachea divide to go into each lung
= primary bronchi
5. a tiny vessel through which diffusion takes place between the blood and the body tissues
= capillary
6. a mass of nerve tissue not part of the brain = ganglion
Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.
Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.
Explanation:
Question 1: Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.
When lithospheric plates move apart they create divergent plate margin where magma seeps up along the plate boundary and forms series of mountains. The mid oceanic ridge was formed this way.
- The lithosphere lies on the weak and molten asthenosphere.
- Different plate interactions produces a wide range of plate movement.
- Along a divergent margin usually, two oceanic plates are forced to move apart.
- The forces the asthenosphere to rise through seeps as magmatic bodies.
- The rising magma them crystallizes along the margins of the plate to form mountain chains like the mid-oceanic ridge.
- It is common to find young rocks at the plate margin and the older ones away from spreading centers.

Question 2: Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.
Scarcity of space leads to competition between organisms and availability of mates creates genetic variations.
- In an ecosystem with limited space, there will pressure on available resources.
- This will lead to different organism developing strategies to efficiently adapt to their environment.
- Organisms will in turn begin to compete with one another for the limited resources.
When we have a diverse number of mating options, genetic variation occurs. This suggests that we can have different gene combination as a result of the mating organisms.
A variation in the genetic pool of a place leads to better adaptable traits to survive the environment.

Sometimes called mechanical weathering, physical weathering is the process that breaks rocks apart without changing their chemical composition. These examples illustrate physical weathering:
Swiftly moving water
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.
