Answer:

The given blank can be filled with simple squamous epithelium.

Explanation:

The tissues produced from a single layer of squamous cells, which lines the surfaces are known as simple squamous epithelia. These cells are thin, large, and flat and comprise a rounded nucleus. These tissues exhibit polarity and comprise a distinct apical surface like other epithelial cells with unique membrane proteins.

This epithelium is found generally in the areas where the transportation or absorption of substances takes place. They also perform a key role in osmosis, diffusion, and filtration. Apart from this, it is also protective and secretory in function. Simple squamous epithelium is commonly found in the alveoli of the lungs, in the kidney and in the walls of capillaries.

How are plant and animal cells different? Animal cells have lysosomes and plant cells do not. Animal cells have vacuoles and pla

atroni [7]

Your answer is B Plant cells have cell walls instead of cell membranes because plants have cell walls to support, protect, and carry water through out the cell animals cells don't have that. Its also not A because they both have vacuoles its not C because they both have choralpast.

A simple diagram of a DNA molecule is shown below. Which of the following is represented by X?

Reil [10]

Answer:

From the diagram X = base pairs

Explanation:

Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Nucleotides comprise:

a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
and a phosphate group.

Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.
