The correct answer is A. Skin

Explanation:

In biology and related fields, an organ refers to structures composed of tissues that have a similar or same function. This includes organs such as kidneys, heart, lungs, among others. In the case of skin, this is considered an organ because the cells and tissue that composed skin serve to same purposes that include protecting the body from pathogens, regulating temperature and collecting stimulus related to sensations.

Moreover, the skin is the largest organ in the body because this can be found along all the body acting as an outer covering, while other organs are limited to one location, for example, the heart is only found in the chest, while the skin is the outer covering of the inner structures and tissues.

Answer:

Glaciers bring quantities of minerals beneficial to plants as the water runs off melting ice.

Explanation:

Glaciers are natural reservoirs of water and minerals that may persist to dry conditions during the summer season. Ice melting provides water and minerals during the warm season, which is therefore critical for plants living in dry summer environments. Moreover, it is well-known that the 'melt-water' (i.e., water released by the melting of glacial ice) also affects downstream stream water temperatures, creating a microhabitat that may be beneficial to the life of plant species.

Cardiac muscle cells are striated like skeletal muscles but their contractions are

professor190 [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cardiac muscle cells appear striated. However, they are involuntary, unlike skeletal muscle cells, because they contract outside of human control. For example, you do not have to think about contracting your heart muscles as the already contract for you. On the other hand, skeletal muscle cells are controlled by humans as they decide which body movement to perform, such as walking or pointing.
