Explain how some hail can become baseball sized

1 answer:

Basically, a droplet of water falls, freezes, and is blown back up over and over and over again without hitting the ground. Each time it keeps accumulating more water droplets that keep freezing to the growing hail stone. That's how all hail is formed. When the hail stone is too big for the winds to keep blowing it back up again, it falls. The stronger the updrafts, the bigger the hail will get before falling to the ground. That's why it takes a pretty powerful storm to make a big hail stone -- the winds have to be strong enough to blow an almost baseball-sized piece of ice back upward again for it to keep growing.

It is with sperm and eggs, which are housed in spores in both species, so I’d say spores is the safest answer.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring of same betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen bonds give bundles of strong tensile strength of cellulose called the microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are held together in bundled called fibers.These is the source of plant cell walls strength.

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form triple helix.The bonds holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS. This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The EM,is futher reinforced with carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which aided in water movements by osmosis following sodium movements into the matrix.
