State the unique characteristics of epithelial tissue.​

Biology
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration, look at the picture
Anika [276]

Mike discovered that the  product of cellular respiration are the raw materials  of Photosynthesis while the products of photosynthesis  served as the raw materials for cellular respiration.

He also discovered that respiration is a catabolic process while photosynthesis is an anabolic process.

Another interesting fact seen by Mike is, the respiration releases energy while photosynthesis takes in energy.

Explanation:

  • In the equation of cellular respiration , we can see that glucose and oxygen are utilized in the mitochondrion to produce  carbon dioxide , water and chemical energy in the form of ATP.
  • Glucose breaks down during cellular respiration .
  • Again if we look at the chemical equation for photosynthesis in the chloroplast, we find that Carbon dioxide,which was produced during respiration is utilized along with water in presence of light energy to give out oxygen and Sugar (glucose)

Which is a closed system.a tree, a human ,a clock , or a car
melomori [17]
A closed system is a system that makes no physical or chemical exchanges with its environment. Of these systems provided as choices (tree, human, clock, car), only a clock does not make exchanges with the environment, except for energy.
Therefore, of that list, only a clock would be a closed system.
Hope that helped! =)
