Answer:

The correct answer is: simple squamous epithelium.

Epithelial tissue is commonly found surrounding surfaces such as the skin, and also making up the inner lining of hollow organs such as the ones that form the gastrointestinal tract.

<u>The number of layers and the shape of the cells in the epithelium have a direct correlation in the function of the tissue.</u> Functions can vary a lot from organ to organ, from absorption to protection and everything in between.

<u>A</u><u> simple squamous epithelium</u><u> is composed of a single layer of flat cells, which makes it permeable to liquids and small molecules, an important feature in organs where filtration or diffusion is needed; for example: capillaries and alveoli</u>.

The main reason for the difference in the mass extinction occurring today and previously is the pace of the current extinction. The extinction is taking place globally and involves hundreds of species at the same time. In less than 50 years, we have lost numerous species.
