2. Identify the epithelial tissue that is most suited to each of the following functions. a. diffusion of gases across lung air sacs b. mechanical protection and waterproofing c. secretion of mucus and movement of mucus d. stretchy quality that allows expand as the lumen is filled e. secretion, absorption and chemical protection f. mechanical protection of a moist surface

e. secretion, absorption and chemical protection

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues is responsible for the protection of the skin, absorption of nutrients during digestion and secretion of waste materials. These tissues form covering to all body surfaces. They also perform a variety of other functions such as excretion of waste substances, filtration of air from dirt and particles and clean the air that is inhaled, diffusion, and sensory reception.

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
