Compare and contrast the characteristics of the ideal tissue forming the outer surface of the body with that forming the lining
julsineya [31]

The tissue that forms the outer surface of the body is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium. The surface layer of dead cells(stratum corneum) is made to keep things out of the body, protecting it. The tissue that lines the digestive tract(e.g. intestine). Is made from 1 layer of columnar cells that facilitate the absorption of nutrients. Both tissues are epithelia.

What was the purpose of adding methotrexate to the cells expressing a genetically-engineered Dihydrofolate Reductase enzyme in t
ira [324]

Answer:

Methotrexate inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis of the cells in the experiment.

Explanation:

Methotrexate competitively inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) which is involved in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate from the inactive dihydrofolate. The methotrexate blocks the enzyme by binding to its active site thereby preventing further reaction of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and dihydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolate is a useful material for the de novo synthesis of thymidine, a nucleoside. And without thymidine, DNA synthesis is hindered. Methotrexate therefore inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, thymidylates and of course protein synthesis.

Pepsi [2]

Ans.

<em>Viscum album </em>is a plant species, commonly known as mistletoe. It is a hemi-parasitic plant that grows on other trees.

Birds cause seed dispersal as they pick seeds from parent plant and drop them in other places. Seeds of mistletoe are sticky or viscous due to mucus and they provide nutritious food to the birds.

Hence, it can be concluded that the mistletoe seeds show adaptations primarily for seed dispersion, not for infecting the host plant.

Thus, the correct answer to be filled in the blank is 'is nutritious to the dispersing birds.'

Water's polarity<span> makes it an excellent solvent for salts, like sodium chloride, as well as other substances required by cells to carry out metabolic processes.Water is known as universal solvent as it dissolves most of the substances. This is because of it chemical composition, a water molecule has one electronegative oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms as its constituents.</span>
