This question is obviously incomplete. However, it is true that vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron. There are different forms of iron in the diet, with some forms more readily absorbed than others. Soluble haem iron found in meat is the most readily absorbed iron. Non-haem iron is commonly found in the ferric form, and is not as readily absorbed. However, vitamin C can aid in the reduction of the ferric form to a ferrous form which is more readily absorbed.

1.) D- phloem is Bi-directional and can flow upward or downward

2.) C- it transports the water from the roots to the stems and leaves

3.) A- capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity, so it can flow upward through the tissue

4.) B- It conducts the sugar and other metabolic materials downward from the leaves

5.) A- The roots have a type of cell called a root hair cell - these project out from the root into the soil. The water absorbed by the root hair cells passes through the plant in xylem tubes, and eventually reaches the leaves.

6.) A- It transports water from roots to shoot and leaves, but it also transports some nutrients. It is Uni-directional though and can only flow upward.

Hope this helps! Good luck

Which virulence factor is a substance that directly damages cell membranes or enters cells and changes their function?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Exotoxin virulence factor is a substance that directly damages cell membranes or enters cells and changes their function.

Exotoxin- Exotoxins are a class of soluble proteins released by bacteria that enter host cells and catalyze the covalent alteration of one or more components of the host cell in order to change the physiology of the host cell. Exotoxins are produced by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Bacteria- Microorganisms that are unicellular, capable of autonomous reproduction, and generally free-living are known as bacteria. In nature, bacteria are found everywhere. The foundation of all life on earth, they are architecturally basic but functionally sophisticated creatures.
