Match each type of cell junction with its description.
Ne4ueva [31]

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.

The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is _____ kcal.
Nezavi [6.7K]
The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is 1636 kcal.
Basal metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Any increase to the metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase the basal metabolic rate.

How did Darwin arrive at the idea about species variation
jeyben [28]

Answer:

We can see some of the most important patterns Darwin noticed in distribution of organisms by looking at his observations of the Galápagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galápagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them.

What 3 systems get put to work when a beaver is building a home and how?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

beaver dams smooth out water flow by increasing the area wetted by the stream. This allows more water to seep into the ground where its flow is slowed. This water eventually finds its way back to the stream. Rivers with beaver dams in their head waters have lower high water and higher low water levels.
