A.

Tight junctions are <u>cell junctions in areas that are subjected to great mechanical stress, such as the skin and heart muscles</u>

Explanation:

They are also called <u>exclusion junctions</u>. This is because they form very tight junctions between adjacent cells such that only very small molecules, like ions, can pass in between the intercellular spaces of the cells. This is why they are found in regions where very little leakage is needed such as the heart -where blood could leak out during pumping- or the skin where foreign material cannot be allowed into the body.

They are also favorable in high stress regions because they bound cells together giving them structural integrity because they limit the movement of cells and their membrane intergral proteins.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

In an ecosystem, energy enters in the form of solar energy or light energy from sun. Solar energy is transformed into various other types of energies like kinetic energy, chemical energy, potential energy, etc; but it eventually leaves the ecosystem in the form of heat energy.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The elemental is required in very small amount. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Trace element is also known as micro-nutrient. It is also defined as any chemical element required by living organisms in a minute or small amounts which is usually part of the vital enzyme (cells produced by catalytic protein).

Exact needs of trace elements vary among species, like commonly required plant trace elements are cooper, zinc, manganese, boron, and molybdenum. Animals commonly required iodine, manganese, and cobalt.

Absence of necessary plant trace elements required by plants in the soil causes deficiency disease, lack of animal trace elements used by animals in the soil may not harm plants, but, animals feeding on those plants develop their deficiency disease.

So, the adjective trace means that the elemental is required in a very small amount.
