Biology
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells

Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves

Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells

Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials

Explanation:

1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.

2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.

3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.

4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.

An element has a half-life of 30 years. If 20 mg of this element decays over a period of 90 years, how many mg of this element w
Vlada [557]

Answer:

2.5 mg

Explanation:

<em>The half-life of a substance is the time required for one half of the substance to decay. In order words, it is the time it will take for a substance to decay into  half of its initial size.</em>

For a 20 mg element with a half-life of 30 which decays over a period of 90 years;

The first 30 years, 10 mg would have decayed, remaining 10 mg

The second 30 years, the remaining 10 mg would have decayed to 5 mg

The third 30 years, 5mg would have decayed to 2.5 mg.

Hence, in 90 years, 20 mg of the element would <u>remain only 2.5 mg.</u>

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: I think your punnett square is incorrect because it has 4 letters in one box. There must only be two letters in each box since your punnett square doesn't not contain four squares in a row or column.

Explanation:

It is perhaps Rr, Rr, Rr , and Rr again since they all start with a capital letter. The dominant allele takes over.
