Leaf anatomy. Did I label this diagram correctly?

Yes, you've labelled them correctly. For your reference, here are a few details for each leaf structure in the labels.

Cuticle: Also can be called as waxy cuticle, it can help reduce water loss from the leaf, since it is impermeable to water. It is usually thicker in the top of the leaf comparing to the bottom side of the leaf, as the sunlight shining on the top of the leaf can increase the chance of water evaporation.

Upper epidermis: They're cells which act as barriers. They can prevent the entry of diseases. They're also so thin and transparent that sunlight can be passed through.

Palisade mesophyll cells: They're the main location for photosynthesis, where the plant make energy by using sunlight. Chloroplasts, which absorbs sunlight, are mostly in these cells, (although they also exist in other leaf parts, but not as many).

Xylem and Phloem: They're collectively called the vascular bundle, or vein. Xylem transports water and mineral ions from soil to leaf, and phloem transports sugar and amino acids from places of production (leaf) to places for usage or storage.  

Spongy mesophyll cells: They also have a few chloroplasts, but not as many as palisade mesophyll cells. They're loosely packed to allow gas to pass through and exchange.

Lower epidermis: similar function to upper epidermis.

For further notice, note that the missing structures from the diagram are guard cells and stomata, usually lies in the lower epidermis. Stomata are pores which allows waste products from photosynthesis (oxygen) to evaporate away and carbon dioxide from the air outside to enter the leaf. Guard cells are just the cells around the stomata, controlling the size of the stomata to increase or reduce water loss/carbon dioxide intake.

Answer:

<em>1. The characteristic thing about </em><em>adult frog breathing</em><em> is that </em><em>drawing in air by lowering their mouth floor</em><em> (option d).</em>

<em>2. The substance released by the </em><em>lung secretory cells </em><em>is the </em><em>surfactant </em><em>(option c).</em>

<em>3. The main divisions of the </em><em>peripheral nervous system</em><em> are the </em><em>somatic and autonomic systems</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<h3>1. Breathing of the adult frog</h3>

The adult frog - while out of the water - uses a nasal breath, propelling air into its throat and oral cavity. The air content in the frog's mouth causes the internal pressure of the cavity to increase, and the floor of the mouth is modified to allow the passage of air to the lungs.

Under water, the frog's breath is cutaneous, that is, through its skin.

Adult frogs do not have gills or respiratory muscles.

<h3 /><h3>2. Pulmonary surfactant </h3>

Pulmonary surfactant is a substance produced and secreted by the pulmonary epithelium, specifically by type II pneumonocytes. The function of the surfactant is to keep the pulmonary alveoli open to allow gas exchange.

The surfactant is a substance of a lipidic and proteic nature that helps reduce the surface tension of the water, which in the socket prevents closure when the air is exhaled.

Another function is to prevent the germs - viruses and bacteria - present in the air from passing from the alveolus to the bloodstream.

<h3 /><h3>3. Divisions of the peripheral nervous system</h3>

The peripheral nervous system is dependent on the central nervous system and is made up of all the nerves that go to each of the tissues and organs of the body. It is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

  1. <u>Somatic nervous system</u> is composed of nerves that drive nerve impulses to skeletal muscles, being predominantly voluntary. The involuntary response in this system is due to the existence of reflex arcs, whose center of integration is the spinal cord.
  2. <u>Autonomic nervous system</u> is responsible for the innervation of coughs the internal organs, allowing their function under the coordination of the central nervous system. It is an involuntary system and is subdivided into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

The integration of both systems, somatic and autonomic, allows a body to perform all its functions, including the function of relationship, alertness and maintenance of organic homeostasis.

How are a good chain and a good web different
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A food chain only follows one path of what food animals eat. A food web consists of many food chains that show how plants and animals are connected. In conclusions, a food chain focuses on a certain animal or their path and they are linear. Food webs are more complex which show how the ecosystem works together to create a balance.
