The epithelial cells can be classified as + squamous epithelium + columnar epithelium + cuboidal epithelium + Based on the arrangement of the epithelial cells it can be devided into - « Simple: A simple epithelium means that there's only one layer of cells. « Stratified: A stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells. » Important Points Squamous epithelium: + Squamous epithelial cells are flat and sheet-like it appearance. + They are found in walls of blood vessels. Cuboidal epithelium: ~ . Cuthaidal anithal alle have Mit he_ike annesranre+ It is found in the ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephron and kidney. Columnar epithelium: + Columnar epithelial cells are colummn-like in appearance. + They are tall and slender cells.

None of the above Answer (Detailed Solution Below) Option 3: Increases SSC MTS Science Questions Question 7 Detailed Solution The correct answer is Increases.© Key Points + As we move from the equator towards the north pole, while remgining on the surface of the earth, then the value of g increases. + As the polar radius is smaller than the equatorial radius, thetefore'the acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator. + If the earth is rotating, then the effect of rotation ofthe earth on the value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the equator and minimum at the poles. + I the earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis, then the value of g will be the same at all places. & + The force of attraction exerted by the earth on a body is called gravitational pull or gravity. + We know that when a force acts on a body, it produces acceleration. + Therefore, a body under the effect of gravitational pull must accelerate. + Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth is given by: * g=GMIR? ; Where G = of the earth. ersal gravitational constant, M = mass of the earth, and R = radius Pe arn Rees teen Slam eel eb C iMac) eons Download App Question 8: View this Question Online > The organisms with cells having nuclear material without nuclear membrane are called as which of the following? .
