What is the unique structural modification in lymphatic capillaries that increases their permeability?

Biology

KonstantinChe [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Minivalves

Explanation:

Lymphatic capillaries are so much permeable that some researchers thought that they are open from one side but scientists found that this permeability is due to some structural modification.

The endothelial cell that forms the lymphatic capillaries wall are not packed tightly and overlap each other very loosely which makes easy openings in the structure called mini valves.

When the pressure of fluid in interstitial space is high then the mini valves become open and allow the fluid to enter the lymphatic capillary. So mini valves are the unique structural modification that increases permeability in lymphatic capillaries.

Farmers consider pesticides and fertilizers necessary to ensure successful farming. What problems are caused by the use if these
xenn [34]

The answer is <span>The increased nitrates from the fertilizers leech into the water and cause algal blooms, which take oxygen out of the water and this suffocates fish.</span>. 


Algae blooms are the consequence of large amounts of farm fertilizers in the rivers, which increases nitrates level in the water. Algae use the presence of increased nutrients and enhance their own growth. It is known that they produce an oxygen in the photosynthesis, so it is not a problem while they are still alive. But when these organisms die, their decomposition begins. For the process of decomposition, the oxygen is needed and ultimately it will be depleted from a body of water. This could lead to the death of aquatic animals, such as fish, that depend on oxygen.
