Answer:  

Characteristics of epithelium tissue

1.Polarity- Epithelium is arranged so there is one free surface (apical surface) and one attached surface (basal surface)

2.Cellular nature– Cells in epithelium fit closely together side by side and sometimes atop each other to form sheets of cells. These sheets are held together by specialized junctions.

3.Supported by connective tissue– Attachment to a layer of connective tissue at the basal surface forms a layer called the basement membrane, an adhesive layer formed by secretions from the epithelial cells and the connective tissue cells.

4.Avascular– Epithelium typically lacks its own blood supply.

5.Regeneration– Epithelium cells can regenerate if proper nourished.

6.Absence of nerves (except for a few axons in the deeper layers)

Classification scheme of epithelial tissue:

Typically epithelial tissue is classified on the basis of arrangement and shape of cells. For naming the tissue types, the arrangement of the cells is stated first, then the shape, and is followed by “epithelium” to complete the naming. For example; Simple Squamous Epithelium.

Consider the parts of a polar ecosystem and a desert ecosystem.
g100num [7]

Answer: Abiotic factor for polar: Ice

Abiotic for desert: Sand

Biotic for polar: Polar bears

Biotic for desert: Cacti

The types of factors are different because there are different set conditions for each ecosystem. A cactus is built for it's hot, dry ecosystem. If it were to move to a polar ecosystem it would not survive there. Same for the polar bear. It's built for polar regions. It has white fur to blend with the white ice to help it blend in and it's adapted to swim to get it's food source.
