Tissue with stellate cells whose function is communication

Biology
1 answer:
KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Stellate cells are resident lipid-storing cells of the pancreas and liver that transdifferentiate to a myofibroblastic state in the context of tissue injury. Beyond having roles in tissue homeostasis, stellate cells are increasingly implicated in pathological fibrogenic and inflammatory programs that contribute to tissue fibrosis and that constitute a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Although the capacity of stellate cells for extracellular matrix production and remodeling has long been appreciated, recent research efforts have demonstrated diverse roles for stellate cells in regulation of epithelial cell fate, immune modulation, and tissue health. Our present understanding of stellate cell biology in health and disease is discussed here, as are emerging means to target these multifaceted cells for therapeutic benefit.

In the 17th century, Jan van Helmont performed an experiment to determine how much of the mass gained by a plant came from soil.
Ainat [17]

Some important elements that are required by a plant for proper growth, but were not accounted in the experimentation of Jan van Helmont are the nutrients from atmosphere such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and light.

In his famous experiment, Van Helmont planted willow shoots in a soil container and calculated the plant mass after five years. The tree gained great amount of mass but the soil didn’t lose much mass. He concluded that the extra mass of the plant had come from soil as well as water used for watering the plant.

Van Helmont clearly missed the importance of elements from atmosphere such as CO2 and light. A plant actually derives most of its energy from CO2 and light through photosynthesis, but only some of its energy from the soil.  

Although, soil is important as it provides useful mineral to the plants like Nitrogen and Potassium. But, minerals do not represent major part of the plant mass.  They are essential for constant development but they do not provide energy to plant. As we know, energy is made when CO2 and water combine to form carbohydrates and sugars. So it might sound surprising but the truth is that major part of plant mass is due to stored sugars. These sugars are eventually used by plant for general metabolic processes.

What happened to the greenish warbler birds as they migrated from the southern portion of their range up around the Tibetan Plat
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. They evolved separately as they moved north and became two separate species

Explanation:

Greenish warbler is a leaf warbler present in many regions in the world and shows migration in winters in the Indian region. The main region of the migration is Tibetan Plateau.

They migrated from the southern part of these birds range and moved north and evolved separately from the main species and become two distinct species due to their geolocation and environment change.

If a gas is moved from a large container to a small container but its temperature and number of moles remain the same, what woul
Alisiya [41]
The pressure would increase. This can be explained by the ideal gas law where for an ideal gas its pressure, volume and temperature is a function of each other ans is expressed by an equation: PV = nRT. We first need to assume that this gas given is ideal. When the temperature and the number of moles is set to a constant value while the volume decreases, we can see that from the equation pressure and volume are indirectly proportional to each other, therefore as the volume decreases, the pressure inside increases.

Plants, people, and flatworms share a common characteristic. Identify that characteristics from the choices blow.
aniked [119]

D, because flatworm don't use cellular respiration nor do they use photosynthesis or make their own food neither do humans, which leaves the D, which is true. :)
