Answer:

True

Explanation:

Simple squamous epithelium is a type of epithelium that consists of a single layer of flattened cells. These cells look like a tiled floor. The cells of the simple squamous epithelium have centrally located nucleus. The nucleus is also flat in shape. These tissues are mainly found where filtration or diffusion occurs.

For example, the lining of the air sacs of lungs has a simple squamous epithelium that facilitates the diffusion of respiratory gases. Also, these tissues form the lining of blood vessels such as blood capillaries and allow diffusion of substances. These are not found in body areas subject to wear and tear.

What are the horticultural advantages of producing plants by cuttings rather than from seeds? Can you think of any disadvantages

Anna11 [10]

.Propagating a plant by cuttings will allow you to keep the special characteristics of that plant. Plants grown from seed will often be different from the parent plant and from each other. Propagating a new plant via cuttings avoids the difficulties of propagating by seed.

Disadvantages of propagating stem cuttings are: You will get a lack of genetic diversity and you may potentially increase Insect and Disease weakness in the new plant.
