Description of thigmotropism is given below.

Explanation:

1. Thigmotropism is a plant’s response to touch.It is a plant’s response to an external stimulus.It can occur quickly or slowly.Thigmotropism may involve the closing and opening of plant leaves.

2. Thigmonasty or thigmotropism can be define as the response of touch shown by the plants. Here, touch is the external stimulus. It can be define as the movement of the plant parts in response to the external stimulus that is contact or touch. It is also known as Haptotropism. The plant may change it's orientation, shape and size of the plant parts.

3,The thigmotropism can be positive or negative depending upon the visual response shown by the plants. The response shown by the plants is generally fast but may be slow. This response is shown by the plants in cases of danger of herbivory.Some plants like Mimosa pudica or touch me not plant shows thigmotropism by closing their leaves on touch

Which is not a major difference in the organization or content of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes?

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

Organisms possess two types of genome viz; prokaryotic genome and eukaryotic genome. The eukaryotic genome is possessed by cells with a well-defined nucleus, where their genetic material (DNA). The prokaryotic genome, on the other hand, lacks a membrane-bound nucleus. The major organization or content between these two genomes are:

- Prokaryotic genomes generally have less DNA and fewer genes than eukaryotic genomes.

- Prokaryotic genomes have fewer repeated sequences and noncoding, intragenic sequences than eukaryotic genomes.

- Most prokaryotic genomes are contained in one circular chromosome while most eukaryotic genomes are contained on several linear chromosomes.

- In general, eukaryotic genomes contain many introns, repeated sequences, and transposable elements.

Based on this, all of the above options are TRUE

How do scientists use fossils to study earth history

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Scientists use fossils to study earth history by identifying the fossil and what era it came from. By knowing what era the fossil came from and what location it was found, scientists can make assumptions about the earth formation at that time.

What allows for some substances to be reabsorbed and others to leak from the tubule in the enthrone?

MAXImum [283]

The right answer is A) semi-permeable membrane

A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute).

The tubule of a kidney consists of a semi-permeable membrane and has also specific transporters which allow absorption and reabsorption. These "tools" allows some substances like ions to be absorbed/reabsorbed (by the transporters), without any changes in the concentration of the other substances (because both the membrane and the transporters stopped them).
