Answer:  

Characteristics of epithelium tissue

1.Polarity- Epithelium is arranged so there is one free surface (apical surface) and one attached surface (basal surface)

2.Cellular nature– Cells in epithelium fit closely together side by side and sometimes atop each other to form sheets of cells. These sheets are held together by specialized junctions.

3.Supported by connective tissue– Attachment to a layer of connective tissue at the basal surface forms a layer called the basement membrane, an adhesive layer formed by secretions from the epithelial cells and the connective tissue cells.

4.Avascular– Epithelium typically lacks its own blood supply.

5.Regeneration– Epithelium cells can regenerate if proper nourished.

6.Absence of nerves (except for a few axons in the deeper layers)

Classification scheme of epithelial tissue:

Typically epithelial tissue is classified on the basis of arrangement and shape of cells. For naming the tissue types, the arrangement of the cells is stated first, then the shape, and is followed by “epithelium” to complete the naming. For example; Simple Squamous Epithelium.

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the keys words in the question provides an idea of what the completed question is.

There are two types of nucleic acid; ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

They are both made up of ribose/pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and phosphate group.

The ribose sugar of the DNA is one oxygen less than the ribose sugar of the RNA hence the reason for the name "deoxyribose".

There are five nitrogenous bases namely; adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. They both contain adenine, guanine and cytosine; however, the DNA contains thymine while the RNA contains uracil. Of the five bases, adenine and guanine are the purines (have a double ring structure) while the rest are pyrimidines (have a single ring structure).

The phosphate group here is negatively charged

Paraphin [41]
Transpiration in plants requires adhesion of water molecules to cellulose, cohesion between water molecules, evaporation of water molecules and transport through tracheids. Cohesion between water molecules is as a result of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and a hydrogen atom of another water molecule. Transpiration involves the release of water through the leaves in pores called stomata, this serves as a method of excretion of excess water and diffused gases.
