Setler [38]

Answer:

Starch present in A and C, starch not present in B.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants synthesise sugar.

This process requires light energy, carbon dioxide, and water, and produces sugar and oxygen. This sugar can be turned into starch.

In leaf B, the chemical that absorbs carbon dioxide would mean that there is none in the air for the plant to take in and use for photosynthesis, so it would not make sugar which can be converted to starch.

This is in contrast to C and A, where there is carbon dioxide present in the bag that can be used in photosynthesis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

3. Were there any stages of the cell cycle that you did not observe? How can you explain this using evidence from the cell cycle
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The surface area of the cell increases to volume ratio

Explanation:

As a cell grows, the surface area of the cell increases to volume ratio. When cell division occurs, the surface area is distributed and each daughter cell have less surface area but with the passage of time, the surface area increases. The main function of mitosis is to increase the population of the cell, the cell must be divided into two daughter cells in the process of mitosis. Tumors occurs when the process of mitosis is uncontrollable. One observation that is found interesting while looking at the onion root tip cells is the multiplication of the cells by the process of mitosis.
