Question is incomplete. Complete question is as follows:

The ____ abuts the lumen of the alimentary canal and consists of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae.

Answer:

Mucosa

Explanation:

Mucosa or mucosal membrane forms the lining of many cavities in the body like the alimentary canal and also covers many internal organs. It lines reproductive, digestive and respiratory system. In the gastrointestinal tract the mucosa is made of three layers: epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae.

The epithelium of mucosa is made of simple columnar epithelium cells. It consists of many types of cells like parietal cells (secrete HCL) and foveolar cells (secrete mucus). Lamina propria is a loose connective tissue present beneath the epithelium. It provides nutrition and support to epithelium. Muscularis mucosae has smooth muscle fibers which helps the glands on the surface to secrete their contents and also increase the contact between contents of lumen and epithelium.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

This is antibiotic resistance. It occurs with over use of antibiotics.

When antibiotics are over used, likely targeted bacteria are being   killed constantly even in absence of an infection. However,  few  bacteria may resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure) , and therefore survived. If these resistant bacteria who were able to survive the selective pressure  reproduce, they pass the resistant trait/ gene into their offspring.

Therefore with continuous exposure to antibiotics, they will  resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure),and thus reducing the effectiveness  of antibiotic treatments  with subsequent application.

The large central vacuole would become dehydrated, because without enough water stored in it, there wouldn't be any turgor pressure (water pushing against the cell wall) to support the cell, which causes the plant to wilt.
