The prediction is: if the simple squamous epithelium in lungs is replaced by stratified epithelium, The respiratory membrane will not be permeable to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The simple squamous epithelium covers the surfaces ensuring the passive transport (diffusion) of either gas (as in the lungs) or liquids (as in the walls of the blood capillaries).

Simple squamous epithelia also form the delicate lining of the pleural, pericardial and peritoneal cavities where it allows the passage of tissue fluid into and out of these cavities. Although these cells appear to be simple in shape, they have important and varied roles.

The stratified epithelium is not involved in significant uptake, in permeability of molecules, or in secretory activity, but merely provides a more robust coating than would be offered by a single epithelium.

If the respiratory membrane is composed of two layers of stratified squamous epithelium, it will mostly contain numerous cell layers because it is its composition of having to be a stratified squamous epithelium. Another thing, the tissue will most likely be a shield for this type of epithelium will serve as a protection against abrasion of which the respiratory membrane will be protected of.

Answer:

Just before the cat drops, it was stationery. Therefore it has energy of position called  potential energy.As it drops, the Gravitational potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy,The conversion mid- air is P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E, until it touches the ground. As it touches the  ground all the energy is converted to P.E energy of position.

As it runs after mouse the P.E is converted back to Kinetic , energy of motion. As it feeds on the mouse , the chemical energy obtained  as protein from mouse meat.This is later converted back to Mechanical energy as (kinetic and Potential  energy)   in the cat.

olga2289 [7]
After passing through the cornea, light travels through the pupil (the black dot in the middle of the eye). The iris—the circular<span>, colored area of the eye that surrounds the pupil—controls the amount of light that enters the eye.</span>
