Answer:
Explanation:
Endocrine cells in the pancreas are referred to as Islets of Langerhan. There are two major types; Beta cell that produce insulin and alpha cells that produce glucagon.
They are identified when viewed under slides based on their colour reactions with histological dyes. Tinctorial techniques that can be used to identify them under microscope includes; Mallory-Heidenhain azan trichrome, chromium hematoxylin and phloxine, aldehyde fuchsin, and silver impregnation methods.
Islets of Langerhan cells make up minority of the cell. Majority of them are for exocrine functions.
Answer:
There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.
Explanation:
From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.
The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.
Answer:
Standard taxonomic system is important to the scientific community because it provide several advantages like that organise and classify the organism that organism can be easily categorised it helps to understand the characteristics of a specific organisms, it also benefited to universal recognition that scientific names are standardised and it is accepted universally and it also help to understand the similarities and differences between different species that belonging to the same genera.
(Drawbacks of modern taxonomy) :it is based on physical traits and it is also physically similar and species may not be related and it does not use molecular evidence
Answer:
The correct answer would be B. semi-permeable.
Plasma membrane of any cell including red blood cell is semi-permeable in nature as it is made up of lipid bilayer.
It permits the passage of certain substances across the membrane while it blocks other substances.
Gases, small uncharged or non-polar substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, et cetera can easily pass through the cell membrane of a cell.
Large or charged molecules such as proteins, sodium ions, potassium ions et cetera can not pass through the cell membrane. They require carrier proteins to pass through the membrane.
