<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.

Answer:

C-14 from fossil had reached itshalf life

Explanation:

For radiactive isotopes (such as Carbon-14), per definition; the semi life or semi disintegration period; is defined as the time for which a certain mass isotope mass disintegrates to half of the atoms that make it up

For Carbon-14, this semi life period is 5730 years , and for the above example, as it is mentioned that we originally had 254 grams of C-14 but we currently have 127 grams (this is, exaclt half of the original mass of 254 grams), this leads us that 5730 years have passed since the original mass and the final mass (that is, one semi life period of C-14)

Answer: The answers seem correct.

1. Active transport - the process in which energy is used to move the particles of a substance against a concentration gradient from a region where they are in lower concentration to a region whey are in higher concentration.

2. The answer chosen for #2 makes sense because energy is usually needed when you putting effort into doing an activity that includes some type of force. That means ions are using energy to be moved against the concentration gradient.

3. Volume makes sense for the last question since the cells are using a space (volume) to move material in and out by diffusion. The other options besides volume are unreasonable.
