Answer:

They are thick, strong and made up of thousands of tubulin which are spiral in shape.

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, they have microtubules which are fibres serving as tracks for cell to cell transport and regulate the shape of a cell.

Microtubules are different from other cytoskeletal filaments because they possesses a cylindrical shape with the tube having a larger diameter of 20-25 nm as compared to microfilament that have a diameter of 3-6 nm.

Microtubules are made of subunits of proteins called tubulin named alpha and beta that is not present in other cytoskeletal filaments.

The best answer is B

Deltas are wet lands that form as rivers empty their water and sediments into another body of water such as an ocean, lake,  or another river. Deltas can also empty into land although this is less common.

A river moves more slowly as it nears its end. This causes sediment, solid material that has been carried downstream by the water  to fall to the river bottom.

The slowing of the river and the build up of sediment allows the river to break up from its single channel to several channels  forming a triangular flow at the mouth called a delta.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is D reduce environmental stimuli

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis occur when a person is exposed to an atmosphere contain high amount of Carbon dioxide.As a result the carbon dioxide enters within the person"s body and reacts with water molecule to form carbonic acid(H2CO3).This ultimately leads to decrease the blood pH causing respiratory acidosis.

       Respiratory acidosis can be treated by moving that person to an atmosphere containing very low amount of carbon dioxide,as a result to maintain homeostasis the carbonic acid present in the body will under breakdown to generate water and carbon dioxide.Thus the concentration of carbonic acid can be reduced which result to increase the blood pH.
