Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.

Squid have 10 arms. Two of their arms are longer than the other eight and are called tentacles. ... The squids' two tentacles are specially adapted for feeding and they use them to grab their prey. They have a sharp beak on their mouths that they use to break open shells.

Hope this helps.

True or false? in host-versus-graft rejection, the recipient recognizes the donor tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant;
snow_tiger [21]
The statements above are true;
In a host-versus-graft rejection the recipient's immune system recognizes the donor's tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant. On the other hand, in a graft-versus-host rejection, the donor tissue recognizes the recipient's tissue as foreign and the transplant rejects the recipient, causing destruction of the recipient's tissue and possibly death. Its important also to note that there are two types of rejection, the acute rejection, where the rejection of transplanted tissue that occurs several weeks after transplant. it is delayed hypersensitivity reaction, and the chronic rejection is a rejection of transplanted tissue that can occur at a late time. Immune complexes form in the arteries supplying the graft, choking off the blood supply and the tissue is rejected.
