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.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

A. Water is denser and more viscous than air.

B. Water contains much less O2 than air per unit volume.

E. Diffusion occurs more slowly in water than in air.

Explanation:

The gas exchange for aquatic animals is more difficult than for terrestrial animal because of several reasons like water is denser and vicious than air so the diffusion of oxygen in air is much faster than the diffusion of oxygen in the water.  

The concentration of oxygen in the air is much higher than the concentration in the water. In air the concentration of oxygen in 21% but in water, it is a tiny fraction of 1 percent oxygen. The oxygen holding capacity of warm water becomes less in cold water. So the right answer is A, B, and E.
