Answer:

<h2>A </h2>

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

Most amines are ________, meaning they dissolve in water and therefore cannot cross the cell membrane. The ________ hormones are
Doss [256]

Answer: 1. Lipophobic

              2.Thyroid

              3.lipophilic

Explanation:

 Chemical messengers can be classified by their chemical characteristics including their solubility in water and their chemical structure.  

Depending on their solubility in water they can be classified in two groups:

  • Hydrophobic (lipophilic) - Molecules are lipid soluble and can easily cross the plasma membrane.

  • Hydrophilic (lipophobic) - Molecules that are water soluble and do not readily cross the plasma membrane.

Depending on the chemical structure  

Amino Acids are lipophobic.

Amines are derived from amino acids and contain an amine group (-NH2, known as the amino group). An important group of these are the catecholamines which contain a 6 carbon ring (catechol) and are derived from tyrosine. These include dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. The thyroid hormone is derived from tyrosine.  All except thyroid hormones are hydrophilic. The thyroid hormone is lipophilic (hidrophobic)

Why is there “polar zones” in South America and Asia?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

North American Countries

In North America, the nations of the United States and Canada own land areas in the Arctic. The only U.S. state containing land within the Arctic Circle is Alaska. In contrast, Canada’s polar regions are quite vast, encompassing about two-fifths of its entire land mass and two-thirds of its total maritime coastline. The historic residents of North America’s polar zones are the Inuits, who have made their livelihoods hunting and fishing in the harsh climate for more than 9,000 years, though many modernly work in oil fields and support villages.

European Countries

The exclusively European nations possessing land north of the Arctic Circle are Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark. Although Denmark proper doesn’t lie within the polar zone, its largest self-governing overseas administrative division -- Greenland -- does. In addition to a portion of the Norwegian mainland, Norway’s Arctic territories also include the islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. Vikings hailing from Norway were the European polar region’s first explorers, establishing a permanent settlement on Iceland in the ninth century and a long-lived settlement in Greenland in the 10th century.
