Answer:

Through this experiment we study the process of photosynthesis.

• In the begining the leaf disks's tissue has oxygen, this allows them to float.

• Then, in the experiment we infiltrate the leaf disks with a solution that has bicarbonate, and as a result their density changes (it increases) and so the leaf disks sink.

• Once the disks are on the bottom and we direct the light to them the process of photosynthesis starts, being the bicarbonate the source of carbon for the process.

• As we know a product of the photosynthesis proces is oxygen, so when it is released into the leaf disks the overall density changes again and the disks rise.

So as we can see, in this experiment the purpose of the bicarbonate is being the source of carbon for the process of photosynthesis that occurs in the leaf disks.

Which tissue is correctly paired with its primary cell type?

sattari [20]

Full Question:

Which tissue is correctly paired with its primary cell type?

bone: fibrocyte

bone: osteoblast

connective tissue proper: chondroblast

cartilage: fibroblast

Explanation:

bone: osteoblast

Osteoids comprise, significant sections of the entire bone matrix, and this includes fibers of collagen which give bone its flexibility and mechanical strength this allows born to resist stretching and twisting forces.

Osteoblasts are highly specialized cells within bone which formulate new bone through the production or secretion of parts of the organic matrix; this is referred to as the osteoid and mediate the calcification (fortification with allium) of osteoid during the formation of mature bone matrix.

How important is your skin for the functioning of the nervous system?

White raven [17]

Answer:

The skin is very important for the functioning of the nervous system, this is because, it serves as the sensory organ, which transmit the sense of touch to the brain for interpretation. The skin acts as the receptors of stimuli that are coming from outside of the body. For instance, if one mistakenly touch an hot pot with a bare hand, one will quickly remove the hand immediately. This is because the skin was able to sense the touch of hotness and send the information to the brain for the correct interpretation of the stimuli. Therefore, without the skin, the functioning of the nervous system will be impaired.
