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.

Which reaction would you employ to build a disaccharide from two monomers of glucose?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

D. dehydration synthesis

Explanation:

Dehydration means removing water, and synthesis means building or creating something. Therefore, the synthesis of dehydration is defined as removing water to build something. This process occurs by removing a molecule of -OH (hydroxyl group) and a molecule of -H to form H2O or water. This results in the covalent bonding of two monomers (small molecules) to form a polymer (larger molecule).

Dehydration synthesis uses condensation in the process and when this continues for a long period of time, a long and complex chain is formed, such as those of disaccharide or polysaccharides. It is also responsible for storing excess glucose molecules as well as larger polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen.
