You have been assigned the task of identifying the cells in a plant tissue sample. using your microscope you determine the cells are living and their cell walls vary in thickness. upon further observation you note that the cells are arranged in strands just below the epidermal surface. what cell type do you determine the cells to be?

The correct answer is Collenchyma.

The collenchyma cells are lengthened cells with uneven thick cell walls, which are responsible for structure and support. Their thick walls comprises of the compounds pectin and cellulose. These cells are generally found below the epidermis, or the outer layers of cells in leaf veins and in young stems.

These cells provide structural support, mainly in developing leaves and shoots. The strength of the tissue comes from these condensed cell walls and the longitudinal meshing of the cells.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

when the displaced particles are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, is called a transverse wave, whereas in longitudinal wave the displace practices are parallel to the direction of the wave.

in the given image:

first image shows - longitudinal wave

second image shows - transverse wave

third image shows - longitudinal wave

fourth image shows - longitudinal wave
