3 0

<span>Salt marshes contain abiotic factors that release harsh salinity or too much amount of salt dissolved on their soil solution.
Here are some of the abiotic factors that characterize salt marshes
=> High amount of salinity
=> anaerobic soil
=> toxic from sulphide
=> high temperature
=> sudden changes to its photoperiod
=> scour and drag
=> The nutrient ions result to low proportion of the total amount present in the soil.
Thus, salinity and flooding are the major factors that affect salt marsh species

Write a paragraph discussing the relationship between the organizational levels of the environment; biosphere, biome, community,

In "simple columnar epithelium," which word describes cell shape and which word describes the number of cell layers?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:columnar describes cell shape.

Simple describe the number of layers

Explanation: epithelial tissues are one of the four major tissues of the body.the others being nervous, muscular, connective tissues.

Epithelial tissues are made up of thin cells that cover the external and internal surface of the body.

The cells may form one layer or more and they occur in several shapes.if they form one layer ,it is called simple.if they form several layers,it is called stratified.

Some are called pseudo-stratified because the cells occur with varying lengths and give the impression of stratified but they are actually made up of one layer.

Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of tall, closely packed cells. They possess cellular extensions ,such as microvilli in the small intestine, or the cilia in the female reproductive tract.
