Answer: A. tunneling nanotubes

Explanation:

A tunnelling nanotube (TNT) also called membrane nanotube is a concept that has been applied to protrusions extending from the plasma membrane that enables different animal cells to interact over long distances, often over 100 μm between T cells.

There are two types of tunneling nanotube including one type of smaller than 0.7 micrometres in diameter which contains actin, and carries parts of plasma membrane in both directions between cells. The second type is larger than 0.7 μm that contains both microtubules and actin, and may carry cytoplasm components such as vesicles and organelles, including whole mitochondria, between cells.

TNT functions in the development of various diseases by allowing the movement of protein, pathogens aggregates and mitochondria.

Hence, the correct option is A. tunneling nanotubes.

explain how darwin's journey to the galapagos islands contributed to his creation of the theory of evolutions.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

During his visit to the islands, Darwin noted that the unique creatures were similar from island to island, but perfectly adapted to their environments which led him to ponder the origin of the islands' inhabitants.

Among those that struck Darwin so greatly were the finches that are now named in his honor. Darwin would later base some of his thought from the supposing that these finches were all descendents of the same lineage.

Scientest distinguish whether an entity is living or non living by describing of life
goblinko [34]
They can distinguish whether the entity is living or non living by checking whether they have all the seven characteristics of living things.
These 7 characteristics include:
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition.
If the entity does show all these seven characteristics, it should be a living organism.
In the past, scientists by using these 7 characteristics, they sorted living things in 5 kingdoms(plus virus), each with their own other characteristics.
