Answer: E) tight junctions

Explanation:

Tight joints act as barriers that regulate the circulation of water and solutes between the epithelial layers. Tight junctions are classified as a paracellular barrier, which is defined as having no directional discrimination, but movement is largely dependent on solute size and load.

Consider formula A to be v = and formula B to be v2 = G. Write the letter of the appropriate formula to use in each scenario. De
suter [353]
The formulas that will be used are:

Situation one:
The moon will be experiencing gravitational force in the form of centripetal force, so we equate the two formulas.

Gravitational force = GMm /r²
Centripetal force = mv²/r

Equating,
GMm/r² = mv²/r
v² = GM/r

The first scenario will use the formula v² = GM/r


Situation 2:
The second situation will use the simple distance over time formula for velocity, where the distance will be the circumference and the time will be in seconds.

v = 2rπ/t

In the ocean how does water temperature change as depth increases
tatuchka [14]
When the upper water layers warm in the summer months, they become separated from deep water by a transition zone known as a thermocline. In a thermocline, the temperature decreases rapidly with small increases in depth. This phenomenon linking temperature change with depth is called temperature stratification.

Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids A) True B) False
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

  • Sound is a form of Energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears.
  • Sound is produced as a result of vibration produced in a body.
  • Sound energy is transmitted from one place o other place by wave motion.
  • When a body vibrates, the particles of medium surrounding it starts vibrating about their mean position.
  • During vibration, they collide with the surrounding particle and transfer some energy to them.
  • They then start vibrating faster and transferring  energy to the next surrounding particle. This process continues till the vibration reaches a person ear.
  • Thus, particles are an important factor in propagation of sound.
  • Sound cannot travel in vacuum.
  • It requires a medium to travel from one point to another.
  • A sound can travel in all medium, solids, liquids and gases as all of these have particles.
  • The speed of sound is highest in solids and lowest in gases as the inter molecular space is largest in gases and smallest  in solids.
