Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is: a basement membrane.

Explanation:

The basement membrane is a thin and fibrous membrane that is found under the epithelium and<u> attaches it to the connective tissue</u>. The basement membrane is <u>composed of two membranes</u>: the basal lamina (with laminin and collagen IV, among other proteins), and the lamina reticularis (that has collagen III making up reticular fibers). The basement membrane also has the function of a <u>mechanical barrier that prevents the invasion of deeper tissues by malignant cells</u>.

Epithelial tissue and connective tissue are two of the four basic tissues found in the body (the other two are nervous tissue and muscle tissue). Epithelial tissue makes up the skin and the <u>inner lining of hollow organs</u> (like the stomach or the trachea), and has multiple functions that are responsible for the function of the organ where it's located. Connective tissue is basically any type of tissue that connects the epithelium to muscle tissue or nervous tissue: <u>from blood, to bone, and to fat</u>.

Blue jays and crows eat caterpillars and mice. if the number of blue jays increases, what are the two likely effects on other po
suter [353]

If the number of blue jays increases, the two likely effects on other populations are both the number of mice and the number of caterpillars will decrease.

<h3>What are two likely effects on other populations due to the increment in Blue jays population?</h3>
  • An organism that preys on other species in order to consume them as food is referred to as a predator.
  • Prey is a term used to describe an organism that a predator kills.
  • An ecosystem's ability to balance an expanding prey population depends on the interaction between predators and their prey.
  • Blue jays and crows both rely on mice and caterpillars as food sources, as indicated by the current circumstance.
  • Mice, caterpillars, and blue jays are the prey, while crows and crows are the predators. The two prey populations will decline if the number of blue jays rises.

Hence, both the number of mice and the number of caterpillars will likely drop as the number of blue jays rises, having two possible implications on other populations.
