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.

Glucose molecules provide energy to power the swimming motion of sperm. In this example, the sperm are changing ______.
Hoochie [10]

The sperm are changing chemical energy into kinetic energy.

Chemical energy is defined as the chemical substance’s potential to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction. So, this type of energy can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction.

Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is the energy that an object (structure) possesses due to its motion.

So, in the example above, chemical energy of the glucose is used (by breaking the bonds of this molecule through the chemical reaction) for the formation of sperm’s kinetic energy (necessary for movement).

If we were to observe a cell in prophase and see 3 centromeres, how many chromatids are present?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 6 chromatids.

Explanation:

Prophase is the stage in the cell cycle that is known for the condensation and disappearance of the nucleolus. In this stage chromosome become more compacts and the sister chromatids are still together and not separated. These sister chromatids are joined together with the centromere.

Centromere do not allow sister chromatids to move away and makes it intact. The number of centromere is the number of chromosme present in the prophase and half of the sister chromatids that means if there us 3 centromere than the number of sister chromatids will be 6.
