<u>B. Secondary xylem</u> tissue makes up most of the wood of a tree.

<h3><u>What exactly is secondary xylem?</u></h3>

Secondary xylem is a sort of xylem produced by secondary growth. During initial growth, in contrast, the primary xylem develops. As a result, the secondary xylem is linked to the primary xylem by lateral growth as opposed to the vertical extension.

The kind of cambium that gives rise to each difference is another point of differentiation. The vascular cambium produces the secondary xylem, while the procambium produces the primary xylem.

Unlike trees and shrubs, non-woody plants lack secondary xylem. It gives such plants mechanical support by depositing lignin into their cell walls, thickening them. Compared to the major xylem, the secondary xylem is made up of tracheids and veins that are shorter and wider. In comparison to the primary xylem, it is also richer in xylem fibers.

Possible growth rings in the secondary xylem (or annual rings). Sapwood and heartwood are two differentiators of the secondary xylem in big woody plants.

What are some of the challenges scientists most overcome when studying extreme environments such as deep space or the deep ocean

kvv77 [185]

Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.

. Your lab technician was to determine the ash content of buttermilk by conventional dry ashing. The technician weighed 5 g of l

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Ashing process is done to evaluate the ash content present in petroleum or other proucts, so that they can be used for certain applications

The two major types of ashing process that includes dry ashing and wet ashing and can be performed using microwave systems or conventional means.

a. errors made in the preceding method while determining the ash content of buttermilk by conventional dry ashing are as following:

Buttermilk should not immediatly put into muffle immediatley, it should be boiled first to avoid splatter.
Temperature should be between 500 to 600 degree celcius at high temperature teh ash content can be loss.
The sample should be ashed for 12-18 hrs , more than this can damage the required ash content.
platinum tip should be used in place of stainless steel because platinum has a lower concomitant tip impedance than stainless stell, so less reactive to ash.
The ash should put in dessicator and not allow to kept in open because ash can react with the humidity in teh atmosphere.

b. The result that occur due to above errors such as the temperature, time, tongs and leaving ash in open will manipulate the final ash content and its application can be harmful for humans and for other purpose if it will be used.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of

jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.
