Answer:

The correct match would be:

1. Cuticle: It is a wax like substance made up of lipids and integrated hydrocarbon polymer usually synthesized by epidermal cells. It prevents or reduces the excessive loss of water.

2. Gametophyte: It is a sexual phase of plants in which they produce haploid gametes by the process of meiosis.

3. Nonvascular plant: As the name suggests, they are the plants which lack vascular system. They are also known as bryophytes and are divided into three types namely mosses, liverworts and hornworts.

4. Photosynthesis: It is the process by which producers or green plants make their food from carbon dioxide and water with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll.

5. Pollination: It is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from anther to stigma in flowering plants. Air, water, insects etc help in this process.

6. Rhizoids: It is a filamentous outgrowth found in some lower plants which serves the purpose of anchoring and conduction of water.

7. Sporophytes: These are the diploid plants which produces haploid spores by the process of meiosis.

8. Vascular plants: These are the higher plants which have fully developed vascular system i.e. they contain fully developed and functional xylem and phloem.

The gametophytes are the is the sexual phase present in the life of algae and plants. The haploid gametes are produced from the parents.

The vascular plants are those which have specified tissues for the transport of the minerals and water.

The bryophytes do not have cuticle present and hence, they absorb the nutrients through their dermis.

The non vascular plants are those which do not have specialized tissue for the transport of water and minerals.

Pollination can be defined as the transfer of the pollen grain from the anther to the stigma of the same or different flower of the same species.

Rhizoids can be defined as the filamentous growth present in lower plants on their underside.

Sporophyte is the reproductive stage in algae and plants when the haploid male and female gametes fuse together to form zygote.

Photosynthesis is the process by which the plants develop their food using the sunlight, water and carbondioxide.

Hence, the given terms and definitions can be matched as follows:

The intermediate filaments of a neuron are also called __________

grigory [225]

answer: Neuro filaments

explanation:

Neurofilaments (NF) are intermediate filaments found in the cytoplasm of neurons. Together with microtubules and microfilaments, they form the neuronalcytoskeleton. They are believed to function primarily to provide structural support for axons and to regulate axon diameter, which influences nerve conduction velocity.

Which macromolecule is involved in how hemophilia is passed from parents to their children

Serga [27]

Answer:

chromosomes

Explanation:

chromosomes which consist of genes which consist of DNA can pass on traits from parent to child.

it basically works by depending on the gender of the child it can inherit certain traits from its parents

so say the hemophilia is an XX being from the mom and to get the mutation you would need the X that has the mutation and either an X or Y from the dad.

I dont know if hemophilia affects X or Y but that is how the mutation would be passed on.

A 60 year-old man has long managed his type 1 diabetes effectively with a combination of vigilant blood sugar monitoring, subcut

ivanzaharov [21]

The question is incomplete as it lacks the multiple options. The multiple option are as follows;

Careful monitoring for level of consciousness and resolution of hypoglycemia .

IV infusion of 50% dextrose and water solution .

Administration of subcutaneous glucagon

Administration of 15 to 20 g of glucose in a concentrated carbohydrate source

Answer:

Administration of 15 to 20 g of glucose in a concentrated carbohydrate source.

Explanation:

The insulin and glucagon hormone maintains the blood glucose level in the humans. In case of Type I diabetes a little amount or no amount of insulin is made by the pancreas.

The wife of a man has caused insulin error that creates hypoglycemic condition means the individual has low blood glucose level. The intake of carbohydrates can increase his blood glucose level. The wife should give 15 to 20 g of glucose to make the conditions normal.

Thus, the answer is option (4).

Movement of chromosome segment to a non-homologous chromosome. This type of chromosomal mutation occurs when one chromosome swap

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''Translocation.''

Explanation:

Translocation is a chromosomal abnormality that is due to a change in position of a chromosomal segment to another non-homologous chromosome of the same nucleus or to another part of it. It is produced by the exchange of segments between two chromosomes without loss of genetic material is called reciprocal or balanced translocation, when it gives rise to monocentric chromosomes.Translocations can be detected cytologically because the structural heterozygote forms a quadrivalent (4-chromosome association) in meiotic prophase. Sometimes they can also be detected by changes in the size of the chromosomes if the exchanged segments are of different lengths.

In a plasma membrane, how do the tails of the phospholipid molecules line up?

Nezavi [6.7K]

They are sandwiched between two layers of heads. Recall that the heads are hydrophilic therefore they will always be on the outside and the tails are hydrophobi therefore they willl always be away from water, there fore sandwiched. I'm a bio major, hope I helped :)
