Plant and animals cells are very similar structurally, though some differences do exist. The vacuole is one organelle that diffe

rs in plant and animal cells. Which statement BEST elaborates on the reason for this difference?
A)
Vacuoles help plants make their own food by converting light energy, Animals do not make their own food.


B)
Animal cells have large vacuoles to remove waste, while plant cells do not produce waste and have small vacuoles.


C)
Vacuoles are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells, because they tend to hold more water to stay upright.


D)
Vacuoles in animal cells are porous, so oxygen can pass, while those in plant cells have solid walls to keep water inside.

The answer is C. When a vacuole is filled with water, turgor pressure exist, it can keep the cells turgid and therfore to make the plant stay upright and prevent it from wilting.

The correct answer is; Vacuoles are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells, because they tend to hold more water to stay upright.

A vacuole is a membrane bound organelle in plants and animals cells which works by holding various solutions or molecules. The vacuoles are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells. In plant cells, the vacuole may be used to store water which help to support the plant. The solutes inside the vacuoles absorb water which makes the cells to become inflated. This allows the soft parts of the plants structure such as leaves to stay upright. Therefore, making plants to retain their shape and turgidity.

How can injury to tissue prompt cells in the surrounding area to undergo cell division?
Alona [7]

Cell division is the process essential for growth and repair in multi-cellular organisms.

Injury to the tissue can activate surrounding cells to undergo cell division with the help of mitogens. Mitogens are the chemical substances which help in escalating mitotic divisions in the cells.

They act by activating the signal-transduction pathway which involve mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).

Other possible manner could be the loss of density which could lead to the inactivation of contact inhibition. As there is a loss of cells during the injury, it makes an empty space which could also trigger or activate surrounding cell to start cell division.

In addition, at injury site the flow of blood also increases to transport various nutrients, clotting factors, growth factors etc. These increased nutrition and growth factors also speed up the process of mitosis.

ASAP PLS There are lots of big words in genetics! One way to start thinking about the process of meiosis is to ask yourself some
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1) the genes and chromosomes do not double after each generations because parental sex cells are haploid and only contain one set of chromosomes. During fertilization the two cells fuse to form a diploid zygote with two copies of genes and chromosomes. For example a normal human has 46 chromosomes (2 copies of 23 chromosomes) during reproduction gametes which contain 23 chromosomes (haploid) fuse to form an offspring with the correct number of chromosomes ( 23 + 23 = 46).

2) offspring only receive one set of chromosomes from each parent so to maintain the chromosome number of humans. If this did not happen you would not be the same species.

9. a) How does hydrogen bonding help the transport of water in plants?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Water has a high Cohesion because of Hydrogen bonding. This is important as transport of water in the Xylem in plants relies on water being pulled up. Cohesion also gives the water a high surface tension, allowing small organisms, such as Pond Skaters, to walk along it.

Explanation:

Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Plants obtain the hydrogen they need from water molecules. Don't try to feed your plant hydrogen gas -- your plant wouldn't know what to do with it if you did. As long as they have water, plants can readily obtain all the hydrogen they need. :)
