Biology
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
6 0

The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract where the absorption of nutrients and minerals occurs. Because of that, surface of the small intestine needs to be increased. The inner wall (mucosa) is lined with epithelial tissue and covered with folds called plicae circulares. From the plicae circulares extend finger-like pieces of tissue called villi. The individual epithelial cells of mucosa also contain finger-like extensions-microvilli. Thus, plicae circulares, villi and microvilli are structures that improve absorption by increasing the surface of small intestine.

Which type of cell junction acts as anchors and distributes tension through a cellular sheet and reduces the chance of tearing w
NeTakaya

Desmosomes

Desmosomes are cell junction that acts as anchors and distributes tension through a cellular sheet and reduces the chance of tearing when it is subjected to great mechanical stress.


Desmosomes are cell structure by which two adjacent cells are joined. Desmosomes are specialized for cell to cell contact and strong adhesion. The inactiveness of desmosomes can lead to diseases of the skin and heart. Desmosomes are found in tissue that undergo high mechanical stress, such as bladder tissue, epithelial, and cardiac muscle tissue.

slamgirl [31]

B. Absolute dating uses the half-life of an element

Absolute dating is a technique that uses radioactive minerals present in rocks and fossils while relative dating compare the sample in terms of age difference. However, absolute dating is more accurate because it uses half-life of an element and provides dates in years.
