The xylem generally transports _____, whereas the phloem transports _____.

Biology
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago

The answers are "water and mineral ions" and "amino acids and sucrose" respectively.

For the xylem, it usually transports water and mineral ions that are absorbed from the root hair cells up to the leaves, where photosynthesis take place. Water is one of the necessary substance for photosynthesis to take place, while different mineral ions can help the plant by for example Magnesium ions can help produce chloroplast.

While phloem transports amino acid and sucrose from the location of production (eg. Leaves by photosynthesis) to the place where it is used or stored. Plant needs these substances to generate energy for activities such as growth by for example cellular respiration. This process is called translocation.

Both of these tubes help transport substances in the plant, in order to keep the plant alive.

You are conducting a twin study to estimate the heritability of a particular trait and have found that monozygotic twins have a
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is "high heritability".

Explanation:

Concordance, is a term used in genetics to describe the probability that one of the twins have certain trait if his brother certainly has it. A high percentage of concordance, such as 75%, is translated into high heritability since monozygotic twins have identical genomic sequences. Additional information to determine heritability will be to study the exposure to similar environmental conditions, since environment can also affect the presence of certain traits.

How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond if the organism was placed in seawater
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Contractile vacuole of amoeba will shrink/contract when the organism is placed in sea water.

Contractile vacuole is a subcellular structure ( mainly found in protists) that is involved in the regulation of water quantity inside a cell.

As we know that water always flow from a hypotonic ( where solute concentration is less) to a hypertonic ( where solute concentration is more) solution. Sea water is a hypertonic solution as the concentration of salt is very high. Therefore, in this case, water will flow from contractile vacuole to outside of the organism.

Thus, contractile vacuole of amoeba will contract as it will lose water when placed in sea water.
