Answer:
Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells
Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves
Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells
Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials
Explanation:
1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.
2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.
3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.
4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.
Normal, clean rain has a pH value of between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic. However, when rain combines with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides—produced from power plants and automobiles—the rain becomes much more acidic. Typical acid rain has a pH value of 4.0.
Answer: 2 - The nucleus of an atom is split apart
Explanation: Any reaction involving the nucleus of an atom is called a nuclear reaction. It is different from ordinary chemical reactions that involve electrons because it involves the release of large amount of energy. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
A nuclear reaction in which a nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller atoms with a release of large amount of energy is called nuclear fission. A nuclear reaction that involves the combination of lighter nuclei of elements to form heavier atoms that are more stable with the release of a large quantity of energy is called nuclear fusion.
Answer:
C. Primers are short sequences that allow the initiation of DNA synthesis.
