<h2>Answer:</h2>

The common function of alveoli, capillaries, and glomeruli capsules is rapid diffusion of substances.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Usually simple squamous epithelium is present in body in locations where filtration and diffusion or selective transport is required.
  • As in alveloi, gases exchanges from blood to air spaces through simple squamous tissues.
  • In capillary and glomeruli capsules water and other material are filtered from blood cells.
  • This simple squamous epithelium allows only small molecules to pass while restrict big molecules like blood cells.

The common function shared by alveoli, capillaries and glomerular capsules are lined with simple squamous epithelium so they are all involved where absorption  or transport of the materials occur.  The function of the squamous epithelium is mainly selective transmembrane transportation either by using the concentration gradient or by active transport by using the membrane bound carrier proteins.

The pulmonary alveoli are highly vascular in structure and are formed by a layer of the squamous epithelial cells and a network of capillaries.

The capillaries are also made up of squamous epithelial cells and gas exchange between the alveoli and blood vessels occurs through these capillaries.

What happens to ordinary plants (not C 4 or CAM) when stomata close?
Rom4ik [11]
As humans plants also need oxygen to breathe they only take in carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis.So they wont do photosynthesis at night and so they only need to breathe. even though their stomata are closed at night some oxygen can go inside. and this is how plants breathe when their stomata are … Enzymes change carbon dioxide to glucose.

PLEASE OH GOD HELP ME PLS I LOVE U.

Remember that a controlled variable is a variable that stays the same thoughout the experiment.

it wouldn't be a. because two different wires were used

the final length of the wax would be your dependent variable, so it wouldn't be c.

the thermal conductivity is the independent variable so it isn't d.

the original length of the wax was the same for both.

So B is your answer.

A process by which we shape and interpret sensory impressions in order to give meaning to our environment is​ ____________.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Perception

Explanation:

Perception is usually defined as a collective process of accumulation, selection and interpretation, and organization of the sensory information. In simple words, it helps in the collection of information that is transferred from the different sense organs and interpreted by the brain. This collected information is used in understanding and interacting with the environment.

Thus, perception refers to the use of sense organs such as the nose, ear, eyes and making a person able to smell, hear and see things.
