The statement above is TRUE.
The osteon is the fundamental functional unit of a compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical in shape and they are typically several millimetre long and about 0.2mm in diameter. The osteon resembles the growth ring of a tree trunk.
The cylindrical structure of osteon is made up of four different parts which are a central tube, a lamellae, a lacunae and canaliculi.

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.

By what mechanism would a nonpolar molecule move across a membrane if it is moving up its concentration gradient
SVEN [57.7K]
Non polar molecule move across a membrane through simple diffusion, when moving up their concentration gradient. Simple diffusion involves movement of molecules through a membrane without the help of integral membrane protein. These molecules are driven by the force of diffusion. This is different from facilitated diffusion where molecules only move with the aid of integral protein in the membrane.

Why are radioactive elements useful for the study of biological systems?
Vesna [10]
Radioactive elements are useful for the study of the biological system because of the unique properties which they possess. For instance isotopes of radioactive elements can be used to label a specific molecule in order to be able to follow the movement of this molecule as it navigates through the human system.
