Explanation:

  1. <em><u>CHARACTERISTICS </u></em><em><u>:</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Plastids are double-membrane organelles that are found in the cells of plants and algae.
  2. Plastids are responsible for the manufacturing and storing of food.
  3. These often contain pigments that are used in photosynthesis and different types of pigments that can change the colour of the cell.
  4. Plastid is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cell of plants, algae and a few eukaryotic cells.

  1. <em><u>FUNCTION</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>:</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Plastids are the cytoplasmic organelles found only in plant cells. On the basis of pigments present, plastids are of three types:
  2. (i) Leucoplasts (colourless plastids)
  3. (ii) Chloroplasts (green coloured plastids)
  4. (iii) Chromoplasts (coloured plastids other than green).
  5. Leucoplasts are for storage of starch grain and oil drops. Such colourless plastids are present in underground roots, stems.
  6. Chloroplasts are mainly for photosynthesis. They are present in leaves.
  7. Chromoplasts are responsible for the characteristic colour of flower and fruit. They are involved in attracting insects, various vectors for pollination and for fruit dispersal.

FrozenT [24]

Domain of a function is the type of parameters it takes as input. The domain of a sine function is angle in either degrees or radians. The function that represents the population growth of the bacteria that is tripling every minute is given by the mathematical expression,

x_{t} = x_{0} \times 3^{t},

where, t is time in minutes, x_{0} is the initial population size, and x_{t} is the population at time, t.

The domain of this function will be time, t.

In neuroscience, depolarization is an "all or nothing" response; what does that
Tom [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - The neuron's intracellular charge must get more positive to meet a certain  thresh hold in order to depolarize. If the neuron does not hit that threshold, then the  neuron will not fire

Explanation:

In neuroscience, the depolarization of neurons shows the all or none law which is also called as all or nothing response. It states that all action potentials have the same size and the potential or strength of a nerve cell does not depend on the stimulus strength as all are the same size.

If a stimulus reaches a particular threshold cell or fiber will fire so either it will fire or not cross the threshold this is all or nothing response or law and depolarization is an example of it.
