Answer:

1. Oblong cells with unevenly thickened walls for support in young stems →

Collenchyma .

2. a waxy substance covering most surface areas of plants; helps to retain water → Cuticle.

3. The youthful, undifferentiated cells of root and shoot tips and other plant parts that produce new cells for growth → Meristem .

4. The most common plant cell, found in practically all parts of the plant body; important for food production, food storage, lateral transport, and other life processes; an almost round cell in some tissues → Parenchyma .

5. Dermal layer made of dead cork cells → Periderm .

6. Tiny holes in a cell wall which allow the passage of chemicals between cells → Plasmodesmata.

Explanation:

This all refers to tissues found in plant organisms.

In plants, the colenchyma is a supporting tissue, composed mainly of elongated, irregularly walled living cells with a large amount of cellulose. Their composition and the way they are arranged - with longitudinal interlacing - give the tissue strength and resistance. It represents one of the three basic tissues of plants.
Cuticles of plant tissue are formed by an oily secretion from the epidermal cells, forming a waxy, impermeable and protective layer, which prevents the entry of foreign organisms and reduces the loss of water from the plant. The cuticles are mainly composed of cutin molecules associated with wax.
Meristematic tissue represents a group of undifferentiated cells with great capacity to multiply, differentiate and provide growth and development to a plant. It is a tissue with unlimited growth capacity, which allows the plant to always replace the damaged tissue and grow indefinitely.
Parenchyma of plant organisms are tissues that are found in most of these organisms, allowing multiple functions, such as the drying of substances, storage and photosynthesis. The parenchyma is generally formed by thin-walled living cells that can adapt to any vital function of plants.
Periderm constitutes the outer coating of a plant or bark, functionally replacing the epidermis. This tissue is located after the secondary phloem, and is composed of cork, specifically phellem, phellogen and phelloderm.
Plasmodesmata are a type of microscopic channel that crosses the plant wall, being a link for intercellular communication, as well as the transport of nutrients.

Explain what it means when a molecule is referred to as being hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Give an example.

Fynjy0 [20]

Hydrophobic is when it cannot dissolve in water and hydrophilic is when it can. an example is a phospholipid in the cell membrane- the the tails are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic.

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane.

netineya [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is a back-pressure that opposes filtration. As the filtrate is forced into the capsular space, it meets 2 forms of resistance: the wall of the capsule and the fluid that has already filled the renal tubule.

This pressure drives fluid out of the capillary (i.e., filtration), and is highest at the arteriolar end of the capillary and lowest at the venular end.

based on the living things in the pyramid, tell me what examples would fit into these categories: primary producers, primary con

algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.

What is an alternative stable state? the first species to grow after a severe disturbance after a disturbance, a stable communit

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

In biomes the species community undergoes certain changes in evolution and growth in order to reach the climax.

Explanation:

An alternative stable state is one which suggests the discrete states are sperate by an ecological threshold and in opposition to the ecosystem that is changing and thereby stating that the ecosystem can exist in a variety of alternative state.

The first species after origin grows develops and then declines. This community of species may be disturbed in middle such as by a fire or flood and forms the secondary community which is more diamine and resistant. The changes are known as seres in biomes.
