1. Muscle cells facilitate movement by contracting and relaxing in response to neural signals. This process involves the sliding of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fibers, generating force and enabling bodily movements.

  2. The specialized cells responsible for chest movement during breathing are the muscle cells in the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. These muscles contract and relax rhythmically, expanding and contracting the chest cavity, which allows air to be drawn into and expelled from the lungs.

  3. In the phloem, sieve tube elements and companion cells are living, while fibers and sclereids (phloem sclerenchyma) are not. Sieve tube elements transport nutrients, aided by companion cells, whereas fibers provide structural support.

  5. The five types of cells that make up the phloem are sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, phloem fibers, and phloem sclereids. These cells collectively function in the transport and support of plant nutrients.
