Answer:

When group of tissues are formed from a cell layer of squamous cell,then the epithelium formed is said to be simple squamous epithelium.These cells are tightly packed together,to form the lining of the cell surface.Thus they are in directs contact with the basement membrane underlying the cell structure. Therefore,they act as selectively membrane structure for osmosis,diffusion,This explain their presence in the alveolar and kidney,where filtration takes place

In additions ,due to their one cell layer thickness,they form the lining of fragile of delicate body cavities. e.g the alveolar in the lungs, lymphatic vessels,and inner lining of the wall of the heart.

Besides they also contain membrane proteins,which aids the control of substances across their walls of tight junctions.Thus ions, molecules passages is regulated

Which best describes the offspring of protists?

Hunter-Best [27]

Options found elsewhere:

-always genetically identical to one parent

-always genetically identical to both parents

-never genetically identical to one parent

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Answer:

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes that cannot be classed as animals, plants, or fungi. They are quite diverse. Examples include amoeba, plasmodium, and slime mould.

Because they are so diverse, protists also have very different modes of reproduction. Some protists undergo asexual reproduction, where they simply make a copy of themselves without a mate. Others undergo sexual reproduction.

Therefore, the only option that can be correct is "-sometimes genetically different than both parents" .

If they were always genetically identical to one parent or both parents, that would mean that sexual reproduction could not be possible. If they were never genetically identical to one parent, that would mean that asexual reproduction could not be taking place.

Is facilitated diffusion passive or active

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Damian here!(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

so its basically passive

Hope this helps? :))
