This layer is called the cell wall.

The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane and provides the cells with structural support and protection.  It gives cells rigidity and strength, offering protection against mechanical stress.

In most cells, it is flexible, meaning that it will bend rather than hold a fixed shape, but has a lot of tensile strength which is necessary to be able to withstand internal osmotic pressure.

Cell walls are found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae and some archaea.

How do earthworms get oxygen to their cells?
Ksju [112]

They breathe through their skin. Air dissolves on the mucus of their skin, so they MUST stay moist to breathe.

If worms dry out, they suffocate. As fresh air is taken in through the skin, oxygen is drawn into the worm's circulatory system, and the worm's hearts pump the oxygenated blood to the head area.

As it is given that, a Mendelian cross is performed between two parents resulted by cross the parents. This suggests that the parents or P generation has zero recombination hence the genotype of Parents would be AA and aa in nature. Therefore, all the F1 generation offspring were Aa in nature. The selfing of the F1 offspring will be:

         A  a

A AA Aa

a Aa aa

Genotype: AA: Aa: aa :: 1:2:1

Phenotype: Dominant: recessive :: 3:1

Answer:

They became closer to each other.

Explanation:

When skeletal muscles contracts the Z lines that are at the end of every sarcomere became closer to each other due to the fact that the I bands that are attached to the Z lines and contains the myosin filaments move closer to each other interacting with the actin filaments and shorten the the H zone that is in the middle of the sarcomere. In other words, It all becomes compact during a contraction.
