kkurt [141]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - tight junctions.

Explanation:

Tight junctions are one of the cell-cell junctions that make a barrier to the passage of material which is a present in epithelia. This barrier is impermeable to most of the materials with soluble molecules. This barrier is made up of the occludin and claudin proteins.

Tight epithelia have tight junctions and examples of such junctions are the distal convoluted tubule or DCT, and the collecting duct of the nephron in the kidney.

Thus, the correct answer is - tight junctions.

I'm so stuck on these questions. Please help ??

1.  Carolus had expanded and developed a classification system of all species and types of organisms that were known in the 18th century. " A French naturalist names Lamarck" suggested that all the known organisms evolved toward perfection and complexity.
 
2. Lyell inferred the same changes happened in the past. Uniformitarianism merges and combined Hutton's ideas of gradual with Lyell's ideas and observations that changes a constant rate.

3. Gradualism is a theory or view of speciation that proceeds small, cumulative steps when time goes on rather than by major changes or others.

4. That's because evolution happens and develop hat changes the environment to the driving force of evolution. If the environment was fixed, the same biological that work today would continue to work to tomorrow and the continuing days.

In a survivorship curve, a type III species, like most insects and plants, is a species that has Group of answer choices an extr
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - the highest probability of dying at a very young age.

Explanation:

A type III survivorship curve represents species such as insects and plants where the individuals will live their life span to adulthood and die as they get older due to the greatest mortality for such individuals of certain species is experienced early in life. There will be a concave curve on a graph in type 3 species curve of survivorship. Therefore, there is very high chances of such species to die at very young age.

Describe how oxygen gas (O2) is produced during photosynthesis. Include the specific structures in the plant where the reaction
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Oxygen gas is produced during photosynthesis by photolysis of water in the chloroplasts of algae and green plants and in the thylakoid of cyanobacteria. The chlorophyll of photosystem II absorbs light energy which leads to the excitation and knocking out of an electron within the photosystem.

The energy released as a result of returning the electrons to the ground state in an acceptor molecule is used in splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The electron released from the splitting of water replaces the one knocked out from the photosystem II while oxygen atoms from two water molecules combine to form diatomic oxygen which is later released as oxygen gas.

The whole process of photolysis of water and the release of oxygen gas happens during the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis.
