Answer:

Explanation:

1. A channel between two adjacent cells in known as an intercellular cleft.

2. And through these channels many molecules can easily pass between cells.

3. Importance of Intercellular clefts:

i) It is very important in transportation of fluids and small solutes.

ii) It contains gap junctions, tight junctions, desmosomes, and adheren proteins and these junctions help in regulate cell communication by signal transduction, surface receptors, or a chemogradient.

<h2>a) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

Capillaries are small exchange vessels (6-10 μ) composed of highly attenuated (very thin) endothelial cells surrounded by basement membrane − no smooth muscle
There are three structural classifications:
Continuous (found in muscle, skin, lung, central nervous system) − basement membrane is continuous and intercellular clefts (between adjacent endothelial cells) are tight (i.e., have tight junctions); these capillaries have the lowest permeability
Fenestrated (found in exocrine glands, renal glomeruli, intestinal mucosa) − perforations (fenestrae) in endothelium result in relatively high permeability
Discontinuous (found in liver, spleen, bone marrow) − large intercellular gaps and gaps in basement membrane result in extremely high permeability
Large surface area and relatively high permeability (especially at intercellular clefts) to fluid and macromolecules make capillaries the primary site of exchange for fluid, electrolytes, gases, and macromolecules

A state in the United States wanted some funds for protecting its wildlife. However, the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration P

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

The Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program and Wildlife Grant Program are two governmental programs that work toward ensuring that wildlife resources are conserved and protected from destruction. These program typically give funds to qualified states to take care of their wildlife resources. To be qualifies for the grant, applicants must be able to present feasible Wildlife Action Plan that spell out how the grant will be utilized. Such plans usually serve as blueprints that showcase the works that need to be done and how it will be executed. Any state that is not able to present a convincing Wildlife Action Plan may end up not getting the grants.

How many times more acidic is ph of 3 than ph of 5

GarryVolchara [31]

A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, pH 4 is ten times more acidic than pH 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than pH 6.

The arm or forelimb of humans, horses, goats, and mice all exhibit the same three bone structures: humerus, ulna, and radius. Wh

Sidana [21]

Answer:

<em>"The limb bones are similar across these species because they share a common ancestor </em>is a right option.

Explanation:

Forelimb (humerus, ulna, and radius) is a homologous structure in all vertebrates. This means that these structures are evolved from the same lineage. Homologous organs could perform different functions but they are structurally similar.

If there is any similarity in different animal's forelimb structure (e.g. horses, goats, and mice), then they are considered to be of same evolutionary origin. Their structures are similar but not function. Evolutionary biology tells us that homologous structures are adapted to different environments as a result of modifications from a common ancestor.

In a nutshell, forelimbs of ancestral vertebrates have evolved into the running forelegs of mice, goats and horses, and the grasping hands of humans.
