Explain how structure of cell wall in xylem tissue enables it to be strong and flexible?

1 answer:

8 0

The walls of xylem cells are lignified (strengthened with a substance called lignin ). This allows the xylem to withstand pressure changes as water moves through the plant.

The cell membrane is flexible because of the presence of oil like substances called phospholipids, which gives it a fluid nature. While as the cell walls are rigid because of the presence of the thick layers of the substances like cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi and peptidoglycon in bacteria.

Does hot water tend to rise or sink? Explain.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

When fluids (liquids and gases) are heated, they expand and therefore become less dense. Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water.

Explanation:

When you heat up water, the water molecules start moving around faster and faster. ... So hot water is less dense than cold water. When you put the two together with the hot water on the bottom, the hot water rises to the top.
