Q#1
- Carnivorous plants decoy insects by sweet scent or color.
- Not expecting threats insects sit on the plant. This catches them using mechanical traps or sticky substances.
- Then, the plant produces digestive enzymes that break down proteins, fats and sugars which make up the body of the victims for simple compounds which plant can absorb.
Q#2. Carnivorous plants grow in mineral-poor soil, raise substances necessary for life from the bodies of trapped animals. They hunt animals, so that the surface on which they grow, no nutrients they need.
Q#3.Plants by digesting insects provide each large dose of nitrates are lacking in the soil.
Q#4.<span>When a pitcher plant is grown in nitrogen rich soil it grows tall. Insects are it's food source so if it doesn't get any food, it will starve. </span>
hope i helped

Which structures are fingerlike projections that greatly increase the absorbing surface of cells?.

Illusion [34]

Microvilli are the structures of fingerlike projections that greatly increase the absorbing surface of the cells.

<h3>What is Microvilli? </h3>

Microvilli are membrane protrusions that resemble fingers and are sustained by the actin cytoskeleton. They are present in practically all cell types. An increasing amount of research indicates that the highly curved membranes of the dynamic lymphocyte microvilli play a critical role in signal transduction that triggers immunological responses.

The examination of the process that generates curvature and its functional implications in signaling, however, was impeded by difficulties in altering local membrane curvature and tracking the high dynamicity of microvilli. Recent developments in adaptive super-resolution microscopy have helped to partially overcome these technological obstacles.

Therefore the structure that increases the absorbing surface area is called microvilli.

A man has been bitten by a snake. What type of immunization is used to treat him and what is the exact agent? Why is this type o

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The type of immunization used is passive, and the exact agent used is an antivenom. This type of immunization is necessary because the man does not have antibodies to fight against the venom's toxins.

Explanation:

To treat from snake bites is necessary to use antivenoms, these are given to the patient as soon as possible after the bite, they consist on a mixture of hyperimmune globulins and other proteins obtained from the serum of animals, usually horses or sheep, previously immunized with the venom of a snake. This kind of immunization is called passive immunization, is temporary and it uses exogenous preformed antibodies to provide treatment to an unprotected individual.

In this case, we use this kind of immunization because the person who was bitten didn't have the previous contact with the snake's venom, this means that the victim does not have antibodies to fight against the toxins in their body.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!

Given the number of blood vessels in the retina, why do you suppose that you are not able to see them normally

AysviL [449]

Answer:

You can't see the blood vessels themselves because vision depends on a process that makes it impossible to see things that are stationary with respect to the retina. Light receptors in the retina respond only to changes in light reaching them, not to a steady image.

Have a great day! :D
