Epithelial cells are mainly used for protection; in the urinary tract, these tissue cells are used to protect the bladder from toxic urine. The tissue can also expand to hold larger quantities of urine.
Answer:
<h3>All the plants are autotrophic because they can prepare their own food using photosynthesis.</h3>
Explanation:
Animals & fungi are not autotrophic because they can not perform photosynthesis. In order to perform photosynthesis they should contain photosynthetic pigment i.e. chlorophyll. These are absent in animals & fungi. Apart from this animals & fungi have reserve food materials in the form of glycogen on the other hand plants stores the food in the form of starch. Animals & fungi lacks chloroplast.
<span>Higher amounts of nitrogenous compounds will increase algal blooms, leading to less available oxygen in the water, and decrease biodiversity.

Let's take a look at each option and consider them in light of our knowledge.
1. These compounds will combine into larger molecules as they interact in the nitrogen cycle and become food for fish and other animals, increasing biodiversity.
* This has some problems. Yes, the fertilizers will cause an increase in the food supply, but that doesn't spontaneously cause an increase in biodiversity. The only way to increase the biodiversity is to introduce new organisms. And this isn't such a mechanism. I won't pick this choice.
2. The water cycle will remove excess fertilizer naturally through evaporation, with no impact on biodiversity.
* There's some issues here as well. Think about how much fertilizer runoff is considered a pollution issue. If this option were true, then we wouldn't be seeing so many news articles complaining about fertilizer running causing pollution problems. So this answer isn't any good either.
3. Nitrogenous compounds will be recycled into carbon compounds to create new organisms and increase biodiversity.
* Still running into the "spontaneous increase in biodiversity" issue here. How would more carbon compounds suddenly increase the biodiversity? This answer isn't any good either.
4. Higher amounts of nitrogenous compounds will increase algal blooms, leading to less available oxygen in the water, and decrease biodiversity.
* This is a real problem. Some might think that "Algae is a plant. Plants produce oxygen. Why would more algae cause the oxygen supply to decrease?" Well, the answer is pretty simple. Individual algae cells don't live very long. So you have a log of algae being produced. Releasing oxygen to the air, and then dying. And the dead algae then proceeds to decay, which does consume dissolved oxygen in the water. Which does cause the death of fish and other animals that are dependent upon that dissolved oxygen. And that does reduce the biodiversity in the area. So this is a reasonable and correct answer.</span>

The term territorial behavior denotes the methods by which an animal, or group of animals, defend its territory from incursions in certain territorial boundaries. The territorial boundaries define <span>the area in which the animals live and on which they depend for resources.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is codominant.
Explanation:
A phenomenon in which two heterozygous alleles get expressed completely in the offspring produced is termed as codominance, and the trait produced is termed as a codominant trait. In codominance, both the alleles show their presence, that is, none of them is considered dominant, and like incomplete dominance, the alleles do not get mixed up.
For example, in the given case, the crossing between a pink unicorn and a blue unicorn produces an offspring, which is demonstrating both pink and blue color fur. This shows that the phenomenon of codominance is taking place and the produced trait is an illustration of codominant trait, as the produced offspring is having both pink and blue color hair.
