<span>The answer is Leukoplakia. When you have this condition, there is a thickened, white patches that form on your gums, the interiors of your cheeks, the bottom of your mouth and, occasionally, your tongue. These patches can't be scratched off. Specialists don't know what the source of leukoplakia is but consider chronic irritation from tobacco — whether dipped, smoked, or chewed — to be the main reason in its development. Most leukoplakia patches are noncancerous meaning that they are benign, though some show initial signs of cancer. Cancers on the bottom of the mouth can happen next to areas of leukoplakia. And white areas varied in with red areas (speckled leukoplakia) may specify the potential for cancer. </span>

In plant, cell that transport water against the force of gravity are found to contain many more mitochondria than do some other
Anna [14]
For this question I'm not too sure what you're asking because cells that transport water are basically xylem cells and these cells are hollow with nothing in them, and they transport water against gravity because of transpiration pull, capillary action and root pressure.
The cells that I know of with many mitochondria for transport would be the phloem so that the mitochondria can carry out cellular respiration to release energy for the translocation of sucrose.

Darwin studied actual birds on the Galapagos Islands instead of using a simulation, as you did in this lab. Studying natural sel
Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
Hope this helped a little!
