Answer:

Stratified epithelium contains stratified squamous epithelium, stratified columnar epithelium and stratified cuboidal epithelium in which stratified squamous epithelium is the more common in human body.

The outer cells are squamous in shape whereas the basal cells can be cuboidal or columnar. They are present in esophagus, vagina and mouth and protect them from any tearing.

Transitional epithelium is a type of stratified squamous epithelium but differ from it because the apical cells have ability to change their shape from cuboidal to squamous in urinary bladder and ureters when urine enters the bladder. This transition is gives ability of expansion to bladder and ureters.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The direct purpose of moving electrons down the electron transport chain is to pump protons (hydrogen ions) into the intermembrane space. This creates a chemiosmotic gradient that the cell uses to generate ATP by selectively allowing hydrogen ions to move back into the mitochondrial matrix.

D. The mitochondria of the eukaryotic cells are the sites of cellular respiration and where most of the steps take place. Cellular respiration allows for the release of energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose (obtained from food) to form adenosine triphosphate, which is the energy currency of the cell.
