Stem cells

Stem cells are the cells which can form many types of cell in the body therefore they are considered pluripotent. The stem cells can be of two types on the basis of the stage they are present that is- embryonic stem cell and the adult stem cell.

In the given question, the cells of the gastrointestinal tract which can undergo cell division and form specialised cells are known as stem cells due to their ability to form different cells and mostly they are located in the intestine.

Answer:

Stem cells.

Explanation:

Stem cells are the undifferentiated and unspecialized cells. These cells have the ability to divide for indefinite periods. Due to their ability to divide, these cells can give rise to specialized cells. Therefore, the cells present in the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract that has the ability to give rise to specialized cells are stem cells. These cells are required to replace the damaged cells with the new functional cells.

If the plasma membrane was permeable, but not selectively permeable, how would that affect the cell?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

It would most likely kill the cell.

Explanation:

If a cell's membrane is fully permeable (not semi-permeable) then substances that are harmful to the cell are more than likely to enter it at one point or another, which can pretty much end up killing it.

In short, the semi-permeable membrane is there to ensure that only the useful stuff gets in and that the bad stuff stays out.

Answer:

Top to bottom: 5, 3, 2, 4, 1

Explanation:

I'll take a shot! Here I go!

5 (Sun) = top; we get all our energy from the sun

Then 3 (plants); plants can convert sunlight into food for themselves via photosynthesis

Then 2; we're talking about herbivores that eat plants, right?

Then 4; these are probably~ carnivores

Then 1; when a living thing dies, these guys consume the corpse and return the energy to the ecosystem

Have a great day!

What kinds of traits do not evolve through natural selection?
Harrizon [31]

Natural selection doesn't favor traits that are somehow inherently superior. Instead, it favors traits that are beneficial (that is, help an organism survive and reproduce more effectively than its peers) in a specific environment. Traits that are helpful in one environment might actually be harmful in another.

(one again, I hope this helps ^^)
