Answer:

Simple squamous epithelium found in lung alveoli have thin and flat cell vital for the function of gas exchange while Simple columnar epithelium found in intestines are elongated in shape to aid the absorption of materials.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues are tissues composed of one or more layers of cells. They line the internal and external surfaces of organs in the body. This question is comparing the epithelial tissues found in the intestine and lung alveoli.

The SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM is lines the surfaces of the intestines while the SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM lines the alveoli of the lungs. The major difference between these two types of epithelium is their shape. Since they are both simple, they are made up of one layer of cell.

-However, the simple columnar epithelium are elongated in shape i.e stretched length to aid absorption while the simple squamous are made up of relatively thin and flat cells that resembles scales.

Which of the following stages of cellular respiration involve cytochromes?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A. III only

Explanation:

Cytochromes are found only in the mitochondrial membrane as part of the electron transport chain. They are vital to the downward cascade of energy as electrons are passed from the NAD+ and FAD produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle into the electron transport chain to eventually produce ATP.

Below is a metabolic pathway having 3 chemical reactions and 3 enzymes. Enzyme 1 has 2 binding sites--1 for the substrate A and

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

All statements are true about this pathway.

Explanation:

This is the case of noncompetitive inhibition. In this type of inhibition, the inhibitor reduces or lowers the activity of the enzyme and binds equally well to the enzyme.

So as a result of noncompetitive inhibition, the enzyme will be inhibited and less substrate will be transformed into the end product which is D in this case and eventually this pathway will shut down.

Also enzyme 1 has 2 binding sites, 1 for the substrate A and another for the end product D.

If the stem of a plant is bent or snapped, why does the part above the bend usually die, even if it is propped up with a support

Georgia [21]

There are inner part of the stem and outer part of the stem; in a plant the inner part supports the movement of the water and nutrients. You stop the flow of the vital elements of plant growth when you snap the stem and this is the reason why the plant die due to starvation of the nutrients.
