Os vegetais multicelulares são formados por um grupamento de células diferenciadas que exercem uma mesma função. Esses conjuntos celulares são designados como tecidos e a divisão da Biologia que os estuda é denominada de Histologia.
Nesses tecidos, existem células que possuem celulose em sua parede celular, vacúolos e cloroplastos em seu interior.
Assinale a alternativa que apresenta o tecido vegetal formado por células mortas, alongadas e de parede celular lignificada.
O Reino Animal, Animalia ou Metazoa é constituído por espécimes heterótrofos que necessitam ingerir ou absorver moléculas orgânicas pré-formadas de outros seres vivos para aquisição de energia e síntese das moléculas de que precisam. Os seres que pertencem ao Reino Animal são eucariontes e pluricelulares. Eles possuem capacidade de locomoção e de reprodução sexuada. Os animais vertebrados (que possuem vértebras) e os animais invertebrados (que não possuem vértebras) são classificados em diversos filos.
Sobre os animais invertebrados e os vertebrados, analise as afirmativas a seguir:
I- Nos artrópodes e na maioria dos moluscos, o sistema circulatório é aberto (lacunar), ou seja, o líquido bombeado pelo coração periodicamente abandona os vasos e cai em lacunas corporais.
II- Nos artrópodes e na maioria dos insetos, a respiração é traqueal; nos aracnídeos, além da traqueal, também é observada a filotraqueal; e os crustáceos em geral respiram por brânquias.
III- Nos anelídeos e nos vertebrados, o sistema circulatório é fechado, o sangue circula por uma grande rede de vasos pelos quais ocorrem as trocas de substâncias entre o sangue e os tecidos.
IV- Nos vertebrados, o sistema respiratório pode ser pulmonar ou branquial, ou seja, os processos de trocas gasosas ocorrem nos pulmões ou nas brânquias.
Estão CORRETAS as afirmativas:
Leia o fragmento a seguir:
“Consiste na continuidade da área continental emersa e pode atingir uma profundidade de cerca de 200m. Caracteriza-se por ser uma planície submersa que margeia todos os continentes, em uma extensão que varia de 70 a 1000km”.

No Sul, a insurreição chegava às portas de São Paulo, e só a Lapa resistia tenazmente, uma das poucas páginas dignas e limpas de todo aquele enxurro de paixões. A pequena cidade tinha dentro de suas trincheiras o Coronel Gomes Carneiro, uma energia, uma vontade, verdadeiramente isso, porque era sereno, confiante e soube tornar verdade a gasta frase grandiloquente: resistir até a morte.
A ilha do Governador tinha sido ocupada e Magé tomado; os revoltosos, porém, tinham a vasta baía e a barra apertada, por onde saíam e entravam, sem temer o estorvo das fortalezas.
As violências, os crimes que tinham assinalado esses dois marcos de atividade guerreira do governo, chegavam ao ouvido de Quaresma e ele sofria.
Da ilha do Governador fez-se uma verdadeira mudança de móveis, roupas e outros haveres. O que não podia ser transplantado era destruído pelo fogo e pelo machado.
A ocupação deixou lá a mais execranda memória e até hoje os seus habitantes ainda se recordam dolorosamente de um capitão, patriótico ou da guarda nacional, Ortiz, pela sua ferocidade e insofrido gosto pelo saque e outras vexações”.

Fire Devastates Brazil's Oldest Science Museum
The overnight inferno likely claimed fossils, cultural artifacts, and more irreplaceable collections amassed over 200 years.
By Michael Greshko ______________________________________
PUBLISHED September 6, 2018
Major pieces of Brazil's scientific and cultural heritage went up in smoke on September 2, as a devastating fire ripped through much of Rio de Janeiro's Museu Nacional, or National Museum. Founded in 1818, the museum is Brazil's oldest scientific institution and one of the largest and most renowned museums in Latin America, amassing a collection of some 20 million scientifically and culturally invaluable artifacts.
The Museu Nacional's holdings include Luzia, an 11,500-year-old skull considered one of South America's oldest human fossils, as well as the bones of uniquely Brazilian creatures such as the long-necked dinosaur Maxakalisaurus. Because of the auction tastes of Brazil's 19th-century emperors, the Museu Nacional also ended up with Latin America's oldest collection of Egyptian mummies and artifacts.
Even the building holds historical importance: It housed the exiled Portuguese royal family from 1808 to 1821, after they fled to Rio de Janeiro in 1807 to escape Napoleon. The complex also served as the palace for Brazil's post-independence emperors until 1889, before the museum collections were transferred there in 1902. In an September 5 email, Museu Nacional curator Débora Pires wrote that the entomology and arachnology collections were completely destroyed, as was most of the mollusk collection. However, technicians had braved the fire to save 80 percent of the mollusk holotypes—the specimens that formally serve as the global references for a given species. The museum's vertebrate specimens, herbarium, and library were housed separately and survived the fire.

An Irreplaceable Loss
It's not yet clear how the fire started, but it did begin after the museum was closed to the public, and no injuries have yet been reported. Firefighters worked through the night to douse the burnt-out shell of the main building, but it seems the blaze has already seared a gaping hole in many scientists' careers.
“The importance of the collections that were lost couldn't be overstated,” says Luiz Rocha, a Brazilian ichthyologist now at the California Academy of Sciences who has visited the Museu Nacional several times to study its collections. “They were unique as it gets: Many of them were irreplaceable, there's no way to put a monetary value on it.”
“In terms of [my] life-long research agenda, I'm pretty much lost,” says Marcus Guidoti, a Brazilian entomologist finishing up his Ph.D. in a program co-run by Brazil's Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.
Guidoti studies lace bugs, an insect family with more than 2,000 species worldwide. The Museu Nacional held one of the world's largest lace bug collections, but the fire likely destroyed it and the rest of the museum's five million arthropod specimens. “Those type specimens can't be replaced, and they are crucial to understand the species,” he says by text message. “If I was willing to keep working on this family in this region of the globe, this was definitely a big hit.”
Paleontologist Dimila Mothé, a postdoctoral researcher at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, adds that the blows to science extend beyond the collections themselves. “It's not only the cultural history, the natural history, but all the theses and research developed there,” she says. “Most of the laboratories there were lost, too, and the research of several professors. I'm not sure you can say the impact of what was lost.”
Brazil’s indigenous knowledge also has suffered. The Museu Nacional housed world-renowned collections of indigenous objects, as well as many audio recordings of indigenous languages from all over Brazil. Some of these recordings, now lost, were of languages that are no longer spoken.
“I have no words to say how horrible this is,” says Brazilian anthropologist Mariana Françozo, an expert on South American indigenous objects at Leiden University. “The indigenous collections are a tremendous loss … we can no longer study them, we can no longer understand what our ancestors did. It’s heartbreaking.”
On Monday, The Brazilian publication G1 Rio reported that ashes of burned documents—some still flecked in notes or illustrations—have rained down from the sky more than a mile away from the Museu Nacional, thrown aloft by the inferno.
