The characteristic of life that relies on the sun is the need for energy. Every living thing needs energy in order to survive, and almost every form of life on Earth depends on the sun for this energy. The sun's energy is captured and harnessed by the process of photosynthesis.
The easiest example is of Pentadactyl limbs. This is the 5 bone structure of the 'arm' of different animals being similar, contributing to the explanation of common ancestors. Animals that have this are whales, horses, dogs, cows, birds and even humans. We each share the same five bones in similar places but with some of them changed to suit certain functions ie birds are more spread to support flying, while humans are made for throwing, picking up and holding things.
B-Kidneys
The kidneys act as filters that strain urea and excess salts from the bloodstream to release them in the urine.
1) occluding junctions
2) anchoring junctions
3) communicating junctions
Occluding junctions do not totally seal the space between cells and the resulting permeability varies greatly. I would say anchoring junctions are most likely with one of the other 2 junctions being least permeable.
