1 answer:

5 0

Insects, which are a type of arthropod, are easily the most numerous group of multicellular organisms on the planet, with about a million species identified so far. The title of heaviest insect in the world has many rivals, the most frequently crowned of which is the larval stage of the goliath beetle, Goliathus goliatus, the top size of which is at least 115 g (4.1 oz) and 11.5 cm (4.5 in). The largest confirmed weight of an adult insect is 71 g (2.5 oz) for a giant weta, Deinacrida heteracantha,[1] although it is likely one of the elephant beetles, Megasoma elephas and Megasoma actaeon, or goliath beetles, both of which can commonly exceed 50 g (1.8 oz) and 10 cm (3.9 in), can reach a higher weight.[1]

Karolina [17]

Answer: Simple squamous epithelium

Explanation:

The simple squamous epithelium can be define as the layer of flat cells which can be found in contact with the basal lamina. This layer is permeable to allow the molecules to pass through the membrane for diffusion and filteration.

The diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen from the membrane of epithelia is also facilitated by the simple squamous epithelium.

Using at least three sentences, explain the cycling of energy through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

marishachu [46]

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
