Rhizomes are involved in the production of stems and “reproduction” of new plant parts. It has been theorized that rhizomes, when removed, can grow into completely new (but genetically identical) plants! It’s kind of like budding, so it’s pretty cool.
I hope I helped!
Endotherms need to consume more food to keep their metabolism up and maintain consistent temperatures (homeotherapy). This is because they are a warm-blooded organism which is dependent on the internal generation of heat.
Answer:
Large quantities of water molecules constantly move across cell membranes by simple diffusion, often facilitated by movement through membrane proteins, including aquaporins. In general, net movement of water into or out of cells is negligible. For example, it has been estimated that an amount of water equivalent to roughly 100 times the volume of the cell diffuses across the red blood cell membrane every second; the cell doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out. There are, however, many cases in which net flow of water occurs across cell membranes and sheets of cells. An example of great importance to you is the secretion of and absorption of water in your small intestine. In such situations, water still moves across membranes by simple diffusion, but the process is important enough to warrant a distinct name - osmosis.
