Answer:
Secondary roots are thin and spread outward.
Explanation:
First of all, the cohesive and adhesive properties of the water molecules fascilitate this. Water molecules stick together and with the walls of the vessels, creating a column of water which doesn t break easily. Moreover the xylem vessels of the tree are very narrow increasing the pressure. Finally, transpiration is taking place as water from the leaves evaporate, thus a continuous osmotic gradient is being created, causing water to be drawn up the tree
The rigth answer is D.
The wavefront or wavefront is an equal phase surface of a wave, i.e., these points have the same travel time from the source. The concept is used to describe the propagation of waves such as sound or electromagnetic radiation (light, radio waves, etc.). In a homogeneous and isotropic medium, in which the waves propagate without deformation, two types of particular waves are distinguished according to whether the wavefronts are spheres (spherical wave) or planes (plane wave).
Answer:
cess for GE crops conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Other evidence came from studies published by regulatory agencies in other countries or by companies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and academic institutions. The committee also sought evidence from the public and from the speakers at its public meetings and webinars.1
The committee thinks that it is important to make clear that there are limits to what can be known about the health effects of any food, whether non-GE or GE. If the question asked is “Is it likely that eating this food today will make me sick tomorrow?” researchers have methods of getting quantitative answers. However, if the question is “Is it likely that eating
