<span>The function of a cell wall has the same
function of the cell membrane; it protects the cell. Cell wall is made up of cellulose
that is only present in plant cells. Cellulose is a sugar that has a sheet like
structural carbohydrate. It is rigid that is used for support and provides protection
to the plant cell from damage. They cannot be dissolved in water. An example is
if you eat food that contains mostly of leaves. You will observe that you will
eliminate the same material as when you it. That is because our human body does
not have the enzyme that dissolves the cellulose.</span>
Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature and from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are usually liquid and from plant sources :)
I will answer the question accordingly so that it help you under stand it better.
Question A.
During an extreme heat wave, plants with white flowers survive better.
What mechanism is in work here?
Answer: Mechanism of Natural Selection
will work here. This is called survival of the fittest which means the best color which fits in harsh conditions will dominate over others and will survive for longer time.
What is the effect on the gene pool?
Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases
because white color is the best fit to extreme heat wave.
Question B.
A person uproots the five closest plants, which all happen to have white flowers.
What mechanism is in work here?
Answer: The mechanism of gene flow will work here as color of flower represents genotype of flower.
What is the effect on the gene pool?
Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because genotype of white flowers is increased.
