Biology
1 answer:
Levart [38]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.

Explanation:

Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells.  Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".

The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.

Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).

Scalp hair growth stops because of  follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.

Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".

Which statement explains why desert plants close stomata during the day but open them at night?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

the answer is C

Explanation:

Stomata are pores localized in the plant epidermis whose function is to regulate gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere. Generally, stomata open during the day to allow the diffusion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and close during the night to avoid water loss (i.e., transpiration). On the other hand, CAM plants photosynthesize during the day, and exchange gases (CO2 and O2) during the night. Thus, desert CAM plants open their stomata during the night and close them during the day hours. These desert plants open stomata at night to absorb CO2 and close them during sunlight hours to prevent transpiration.
