The answer is C. These structures are vacuoles and are found in plants cell (you can tell it’s a plant cell because of the outer cell wall in the picture). Vacuoles have a variety of other functions storage of waste products, maintain turgor pressure for plants support.

Structure C store materials, such as water, salts, protein and carbohydrate mainly known as vacuoles.

Further Explanation:

The vacuole is an organelle which is mainly present in animal and plant also. There is a difference in size of plant and animal vacuole. Plant cells contain vacuole in the centre of the cell which is much larger than the animal vacuole. Animal cells contain multiple vacuoles that are scattered in the cytoplasm of the cell. They contain membrane-bound sacs. The cell membranes of vacuoles are made up of phospholipids. Proteins are embedded in the cell membrane to transport small molecule. Most plant cells use vacuoles to store water. Animals don’t use vacuole as water storage they store product for endocytosis and exocytosis.

The major functions of vacuoles are:

To store water in plants
To provide turgor pressure
To store material of exocytosis and endocytosis
To store fat cells

Manly in plants, a large vacuole is present. This vacuole is enclosed by a cytoplasmic membrane which is tonoplast. This layer can easily stretch and fill with solution. They can easily fill with proton and create acidic environment inside the cell. The development of chemical gradient is helps in transporting material inside and outside of vacuole. They use proton motive force to transport molecule.

Why is it important that tissues are composed of specialized cells?

KatRina [158]

Cell specialization allows new cells to develop into a range of different tissues, all of which work together to make living organisms function as a whole. The process of cell specialization exactly how cells develop into their diverse forms is complex.

Of the following chemicals, which is least likely to be biologically magnified as it moves through food webs?a.radioactive isoto

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

e.DDT

Explanation:

DDT is biologically magnified and concentrated as it moves through the food web. This increase in concentration is due to Metabolism of DDT which excretes more slowly than the nutrients which moves from one trophic level to next. so DDT accumulates in the body especially in the Fats.

Why is the Lancelet a chordate, but not a vertebrate?

nika2105 [10]

Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone

Explanation:

The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate

Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.

Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.

Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.

The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.

They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube .

What type of attraction occurs when water molecules attract other types of molecules (other than water)?

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Choice A, Adhesion

Explanation:

If you have trouble telling the difference between cohesion and adhesion, remember that an adhesive is glue, water is essentially "gluing" itself to another surface.
