The situation is an exponential growth wherein an example is on population when as the population gets larger, it grows more quickly.
Different structures and functions of roots
Explanation:
Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.
Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.
Types:
- Tap root
- Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots
Structure and functions:
- Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip
.
- Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.
- Meristematic zone or growing point sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.
- Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions
- Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.
- Function – helps in elongation of the root
- Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.
- The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil
- Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.
- Function - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.
Answer:
Explanation:
Phloem cells are conducting vessels that are found in vascular plant. They are used in the transport of photosynthate produce during photosynthesis from the source of production to other parts of the body.
It consist of sieve elements, which are the conducting vessel that aids transport of sugar round the body. They are very active before maturity at mature they are no longer in use.
Companion cells are used in replacement of sieve element at maturity, they function in metabolism together with the sieve tube Translocation is the transport or movement of sugar round the body.
Girdlings is the removal of the bark of a plant this can inhibit active transport of food.
Non-reducing sugar are monosacharrides such as glucose that are produce and transported round the body of the plant.
P-protein are found in the plants sap usually in large amount in the sieve elements.
Hot packs or a med used for reducing swelling
Answer:
Option A) Double-stranded DNA
Explanation:
Note that the presence of thymine, a pyrimidine nitrogenous base in the genome indicates the presence of DNA.
Then, the summation of 28% adenine + 20% thymine + 35% cytosine + 17% guanine to yield 100% confirms that the DNA is double-stranded.
Thus, the structure of the viral genome is Double-stranded DNA.
