Type I alveolar cells:

Biology
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct option is: e. Both B and D

Explanation:

Type I alveolar cells are the thin squamous epithelial cells that lines the alveolar surface of the pulmonary alveoli.

These cells are involved in the gas exchange process. The thin lining of the type I alveolar cells, allows the rapid diffusion of gas and thus enabling the exchange of gases between the blood present in the capillaries and the air present in the pulmonary alveoli.

Explain how it is possible for nutrients to be transported to the cells of a flatworm with no circulatory system.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Flatworms are beings that do not have a heart, veins, arteries, capillaries, hemolymph, or some type of circulatory fluid. Their circulation occurs between cells or intercellularly and they are responsible for transporting substances by diffusion from cell to cell.

Explanation:

Flatworms are considered multicellular eukaryotic organisms. This implies that in their cells they have a cellular nucleus, in which the DNA is contained, structuring the chromosomes. Likewise, they are made up of several types of cells, each one specialized in a specific function. They lack a structured circulatory system as such. Because of this they do not have specialized structures such as a heart or blood vessels, however, the circulation of certain substances is established between their cells. This is done thanks to the diffusion process. Substances pass from one cell to another through this process.This does not apply to all flatworms, since in some species of bog and digenae there is a certain organization and some very small conducting vessels known as the endolymphatic system, the which forms a kind of plexus in the parenchyma.It should also be noted that some species do not even have a digestive system, being the digestive tract the one in charge of digestive functions and the distribution of the nutrients they receive.

Identify each event as the result of mechanical weathering or chemical weathering.
kow [346]

<h3><u>The following events are identified as chemical weathering:</u></h3>
  • The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure.
  • The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains.

<em><u>Reason: </u></em>

When the weathering process occurs due to <em>chemical reaction</em>, then it is considered as chemical weathering.

In <em>the first case</em>, minerals of marble statue are <em>reacting</em> with water to cause weathering. In the <em>second case</em>, due to the <em>acidificaion reaction</em>, the change of the color has happened after exposure to the repeated rains.

<h3><u>The following events are identified as Mechanical weathering:</u></h3>
  • A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves.
  • Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path.

<em><u>Reason:</u></em>

When the rock is broken into simple pieces <em>without any chemical reaction </em>it is considered as mechanical weathering.

In the <em>first cause</em>, due to the <em>abrasion</em> caused by the strong waves, weathering has happened, in the <em>second case</em> industrial run off may be of varying temperature and thus may cause <em>heating or cooling</em> of the rock and causes weathering.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Mutualism

Explanation:

Organisms in an ecosystem interact with one another from time to time. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis is of different types depending on the how it affects the involved organisms. The example in this question depicts MUTUALISM.

Mutualism is the type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the relationship. This is the case of the LICHEN, which involves the Algae and Fungi. The algae benefits by making use of the water and minerals supplied by the fungi while the fungi benefits by using the food the algae produces via photosynthesis.
