Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes by osmosis and xylem conduction.

<h3>What are mesophytes?</h3>

Mesophytes are plants that are adapted to moderate water environments only. In other words, they cannot survive extremely or extremely wet environments.

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes as follows:

1. Water moves into the root hair by osmosis

2. Water is conducted upward from the root hairs by special cells known as xylems.

3. Conducted water reaches various plant parts, including leaves.

vivado [14]

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.

Answer:

The Lac operon is controlled by two signals.

Initiation

Glucose and lactose concentrations control the initiation of transcription of the Lac operon through their effects on the Lac repressor protein and Cap.

Lactose absent (Repression)

When lactose is absent, the Lac repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts off expression of the operon.

Lactose present (Transcription)

Addition of lactose increases the intracellular concentration of a related compound, allolactose. allolactose binds to the Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a conformational change that releases its grip on the operator DNa.

Glucose absent (Repression)

When glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle) is produced by the cell and Cap binds to DNA.

Glucose present (Transcription)

LacZ, the first gene of the operon, encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which breaks down lactose to galactose and glucose.

No because if you take that out , it acts like a skeleton so if you take that out, it will spill it contents out and won't really do any thing

Why is the study of weather important to our lives everyday?

jeka57 [31]

This is a very important question. As all of us know, weather affects us in a huge number of ways. Climate influences the growth of crops, thus affecting the availability and kind of food we eat. Fluctuations in weather (e.g. dry spells, wet spells) also affect crops. Weather affects what clothes we wear, and soon. I can't think of anything we do that weather doesn't have a strong effect on.
