Answer:
No, viruses are not considered cells as they're parasitic and can't live on their own. A virus has to infect living cells in order to survive, so it's not considered a cell.
Answer:
The correct option is A. The lipids, because they are responsible for long-term energy storage.
Explanation:
The bodies of organisms are made up of different organic molecules known as biological macromolecules, each specialized to perform unique functions. For example, nucleotides are biological macromolecules made up of nucleotides. The function of nucleotides is to store the genetic information of an organism.
Lipids are macromolecules which are made from fatty acids and glycerol. The function of lipids is to store long- term energy for an organism. Hence, the biology student listed the wrong function for lipids.
The correct answer is phototrophism.
Phototrophism is said to be the growth of a plant toward a source of light.
It is response to the stimulus of light and is seen when a plant bends towards the direction that light is coming from. Response by plants to a stimulus is called tropism. The word or prefix "photo" means or refers to light. Therefore phototropism simply means response to light.
Phototropism can be especially evident in the jungle where the jungle floor gets very little light. If a tall tree falls to the ground, it leaves a gap in the canopy through which sunlight streams to the ground. Many jungle plants growing on the ground will bend towards the gap and rapidly grow towards the source of light.
Vacuole is the answer.
Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls.
The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.
When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.
In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.
