Joint cavities are spaces in between the bones that make up a joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints naturally have cavities in them. The cavities are encapsulated by articular cartilage and synovial membrane. So, fibrous and cartilaginous joints would be able to perform their functions if they had joint cavities.

The joint cavities are composed of two bones covered by the hyaline cartilage. The joint cavities allow for the movement of the two articulated bones. The fibrous and the cartilaginous bones have no joint cavities as they require little to no movement. These joints are connected tightly by the cartilage, such as in the spinal column. if the joint cavities were present in these joints, then these structures will not be held tightly and hence, they could not perform their function well.

Hence, the answer is 'the fibrous and cartilaginous joints will not be able to perform their function if they had joint cavities'.

What do the results of the agar blocks indicate about the relationship between cell size and diffusion rate

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Knowledge of the relationship between the size (volume) of cells and their surface area helps explain the process of diffusion. Agar blocks and cells with the largest surface area to volume ratio (the smaller cubes) have the highest diffusion rates.

A cladogram is a type of graph that shows how closely related different types of organisms are in an evolutionary context. It resembles a tree, with various organisms being placed at the end of each branch. If two organisms have a close common branch, they are more closely related than those who have more distant branches. Since DNA, or corresponding protein sequences are more similar in closely related species, and more different in more distant species, a biologist can use those sequences to numerically determine how closely related three species are.
