Answer:

The answer is TRUE. Most cnidarians have two layers of cells that are organized into tissues: Epidermis and Gastrodermis.

Explanation:

Cnidarians' basic body organization is simple: It is a hollow structure composed of two cellular layers:

epidermis, which is the external layer,
gastrodermis which is the internal layer, composed by lining cells in the gastrovascular cavity.

Between these two there is the mesoglea that varies from a thin, non-cellular membrane to a mucous, fibrous, thick membrane with amebocytes.

Epidermis and gastrodermis originate from two embryonic tissues, the ectoderm, and the endoderm.

The epidermis is formed of five types of cells with different functions: epitheliomuscular, interstitial, cnidoblasts, secretors, and sensorial.

The gastrodermis is composed of nutritive cells, glandular enzymatic cells, secretory cells, and sensorial cells.

Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for why unsaturated fatty acids help keep any membrane more fluid at lower te

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option (E).

Explanation:

The cell membrane constitute the phospholipid bilayer, proteins and small amounts of carbohydrates. The unsaturated fatty acids contain the double and triple bond in its structure.

The introduction of double bond introduces the kink in its structure and makes the membrane less rigid. This prevents the packaging of the lipid tightly and makes the membrane more permeable. This makes the membrane more fluid even at the lower temperature.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
