Why is it important that phloem moves sugar both up and down through a plant? Please help

Sugars, which are formed by the plant during photosynthesis, are an essential component of plant nutrition. Like water, sugar (usually in the form of sucrose, though glucose is the original photosynthetic product) is carried throughout the parts of the plant by the vascular system. Phloem, the vascular tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients around the plant body, carries dissolved sugars from the leaves (their site of production) or storage sites to other parts of the plant that require nutrients. Within the phloem, sugars travel from areas of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure, called sources, to regions of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure, called sinks. (Osmotic concentration refers the concentration of solutes, or sugars in this case; where the concentration of solutes is highest, so is the osmotic concentration).

Alternation of generation

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

"Alternation of generation"

Alternation of generations is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plant and algae in the archaeologist and the heterokontophyta that have distinct haploid sexual and diploid asexual stages.In these groups a multicellular haploid gametophyte with n chromosomes alternates with a multicellular diploid sporophyte with 2n chromosomes made up of n pairs.A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half from 2n to n.

Two haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte.At maturity ,the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis which does not alter the number of chromosomes.Two gametes from different organism of the same species fuse to diploid zygote,which develop into a diploid sporophyte . This cycle from gametophyte to sporophyte in the way in which all land plant and many algae undergo sexual reproduction.

Use the chart above to determine which substitution mutation has the potential to cause more damage? Highlight your answer. (2pt

icang [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the chart referred to in the question. However, what appears to be the case is that the three nitrogenous bases represent codons (and the missing chart is the codon chart). The mutation that has the potential to cause more damage will be the one that would change the amino acid formed from the codon change.

A. CAU to CAC: The codons CAU and CAC both form the amino acid histidine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

B. UGU to UGC: The codons UGU and UGC both form the amino acid cysteine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

C. UCU to UUU: <u>Codon UCU forms the amino acid serine while the codon UUU forms the amino acid phenylalanine</u>. Thus, this eventual change in the amino acid formed has the potential to cause a major damage and thus option C is the correct option.

NOTE that a codon is a sequence of three DNA/RNA nucleotides that corresponds to a single amino acid.

Technology has helped industial nations to increase life spans? true or false

Anvisha [2.4K]

The answer is true because technology we develop today makes powerful medicine in which could help expand life spans. It also helps us cure diseases, injuries, or other life threatening causes.
