Epithelial cells best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues are stratified squamous epithelial cells.
Stratified cells are layered cells, squamous cells are flat and epithelial cells are covering cells. Therefore, stratified squamous epithelial cells are flattened, layered covering cells arranged on a basement membrane.
Stratified squamous epithelial cells have very little to no intercellular spaces which prevent pathogen from passing through and entering into the deeper tissues. They are well suited for resisting abrasion because the uppermost layers are subsequently sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. These types of cells form the outermost layer of the skin.

Blank 1: <u>hawks and owls</u>
Explanation: Tertiary consumers lie on the top of the food web or pyramid. They are dependent on other organisms for their food. These are carnivores by mode of nutrition. Here, the food web sequence would be like-
small birds----->snakes----->hawks and owls.
That's why they are the tertiary consumers.
Blank 2: <u>decomposers
</u>
Explanation: The organic matter of dead plants and animals is decomposed by decomposers. They breakdown the complex organic compounds into simpler substances.
