Given:
Measure of box reported by Cristal = 18 cubic units
Measure of box reported by Kyle = 48 cubic units
To find: The reason behind the discrepancies in their reporting.
Answer:
The measurement has been done in 'cubic units'. This indicates that they are measuring the volume of the box. Now, the differences in their reporting can be due to the following reasons:
- Unit of measurement: Cristal might have reported in imperial units whereas Kyle must have used metric units. Example, an inch is greater than a centimeter.
- Instrument used for measurement: Either Cristal or Kyle are using a non-standardized instrument for recording measurements. The unit spacing between, say Kyle's instrument might be smaller than that of Cristal's. They need to check it against a standard ruler to standardize their rulers.
- Least count error: Instruments with a greater least count or bigger gradations are prone to errors than instruments with a smaller least count. Example, a ruler with a least count of 1 inch will not be able to record in decimal units whereas a ruler with a least count of 1 mm can make fine recording.
- Rigidity of box: If the box can shrink under different environmental conditions then there will inconsistencies in their recording. Cristal must have recorded its volume in cold temperature whereas Kyle must have recorded its volume in hot temperature. (<em>sounds odd but is true</em>)
- Xylem contains tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibre.
- Tracheids: They are elongated, tubular dead cells with tapering end walls.
- Vessels: These are also known as trachea. They are elongated, tubular dead cells. They are joined to each other by end to end forming a continuous pipe. The cells are thick and lignified.
- Xylem parenchyma: They are also called wood parenchyma. This is the only living tissue of xylem.
- Xylem fibre: They are dead cells with thick walled fibre.
- Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
- Sieve tubes: These are elongated, tubular living cells arranged in a row, with their perforated end walls forming a sieve. They are non-nucleated. Their protoplasm are inter-connected through sieve plates. They possess vacuoles.
- Companion cell: They are elongated, lens-shaped cells containing dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei. These cells maintain connection with sieve cells through pits.
- Phloem parenchyma: They are living thin walled parenchyma cells.
- Phloem fibre: They are also known as bast fibre. They are elongated fibre like sclerenchymatous dead cells with thick walls containing pits and interlocked ends. Phloem fibre are the only dead cells in phloem.
Hope you could get an idea from here.
Doubt clarification - use comment section.
Answer:
C) Thick layers of tall trees and a lot of moisture
Explanation:
A and B are incorrect as those are not correct descriptions of a Rain Forest.
D at first seems like the best answer but it is describing a Wetland.
Therefore the correct answer is C.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Because all the living things need carbon to make protein,carbohydrates,lipids
In order to "invest" in later stages to get more energy per glucose molecule. It could also be because that is how it is done, it wouldn't be as efficient unless these stages were performed.
hope this helps!
