Muscles are the tissue structures that move bones. They are connected to bones and need proteins to grow and stay healthy.

Answer is Muscles.

Muscles work on contraction. Muscles can only pull and cannot push. This means that a muscle can only move a bone in one direction and there is no way to move the bone back again. This problem is solved by having muscles in pairs, called antagonistic muscles. The antagonistic muscles work in pairs. One muscle contracts while the other relaxes.

For example, the lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed. To lower the forearm again, the triceps contracts and the biceps relaxes.

________ thousands of tiny projections that add even more surface area to villi​
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Each villus, in turn, has thousands of even smaller projections called microvilli (singular: microvillus).

Explanation:

The villi contain capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels. Nutrients are absorbed into these capillaries across the surfaces of the villi and microvilli. Because there are millions of these tiny projections, they greatly increase the surface area for absorption.

Is plankton biotic or abiotic?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not only is the biota important, but the abiotic factors in the ocean are also important because both groups work together. The abiotic factors in the ocean help the ocean to 'work'. For example, phytoplankton (autotrophs) need light, nutrients, CO2 (dissolved gases) to photosynthesize.
