Peroxisome is the organelle that would be expected to target and detoxify the plant compounds.

Peroxisomes are tiny membrane-bound organelles that contain several enzymes which are involved in various biochemical pathways in different types of cells. Peroxisomes go through oxidation reactions that results in the production of hydrogen peroxide which is harmful to the cell. The enzyme catalase is present in the peroxisomes. Catalase neutralizes the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide by decomposing it to water and oxygen. In that way, certain molecules such as fatty acids, amino acids, and uric acids are broken down by oxidative reactions in peroxisomes.

More solar energy reaches the equatorial regions than the polar regions because the equatorial regions
crimeas [40]


The answer is that the equatorial regions receive sun rays closest to the vertical (direct rays) because of their position relative to the equator where the tilting of the earth only mildly affects the climate. The climate along the equator  changes very little through out the year and has summer like conditions for  most of the year.

However the other regions may receive direct sun rays but for far more limited periods.  In the months of July and August (summer months), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives the most  direct  rays. The opposite occurs in December and January when it is tilted away from the sun and thus winter sets in, whereas the southern hemisphere is at this time tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sun rays.

The phase during which sister chromatids aggregate along the equator of the cell is called ________
vova2212 [387]

The phase during which sister chromatids aggregate along the equator of the cell is called the metaphase.

The image shows the process of cell division through mitosis. The mother cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells in mitosis. There are four main phases in the mitosis process. They are: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In the metaphase, the highly condensed sister chromatids line up along the equator of the cell by binding to the microtubles that form the skeleton of the cell. These kinetochores line up the chromatids at the equator to initiate their separation.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can easily move the box from a ground floor though to the first floor at an angle of 40° to the horizontal by simply pushing the load through an inclined plane. We will simply be lean the inclined plane on the building at the required angle and the push through the the height of the building.

Based on the explanation above, the best type of simple machine to use is an INCLINED PLANE. <em>Note that the essence of using a machine is simply to make our work easier and faster and also be able to overcome a much larger load with a minimal effort. </em>

depending on the environment the plant is in, more or less gas may be produced. suggest a method for measuring the rate of gas p
makkiz [27]

Answer: The correct method would be - to collect the gas in an inverted graduated cylinder. Explanation: Place the aquatic plant under the mouth of the graduated cylinder and gather the gas by the water displacement that is delivered by the cycle of photosynthesis. At that point measure, the volume of gas gathered at different times. An individual could consider the impact of temperature, the measure of light, and the accessibility of supplements as components that may influence the pace of gas creation.

3 Explain why the average height of students is increasing in many parts of the world.​
denpristay [2]
<h2> The average height of people in different nations has  has increased approximately by 10 centimeters.</h2><h3>It mostly comes down to nutrition and child-rearing styles. </h3><h3>Some scientists believe that the increase in teenage and out-of-wedlock pregnancies in the developed world may be an unanticipated consequence of improved nutrition.</h3>

Tobacco smoking greatly increased over the last hundred or so years, but the old wives' dictum was always that "Smoking will stunt your growth!"

Hope this helped have a good day = )  .
