a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
An endosperm is defined as the tissue which are produced inside the seeds during fertilization. As the endosperm surrounds the embryo, it acts as the food storage for the embryo and provide nutrition.
During embryo development , endosperms supports enlargement of cotyledons which helps in storage function and stores fats and starch and provide nourishment to the embryo.
for example cereal crops or grains are primarily endosperm which stores fat and starch and are edible fruits.
Hence, the correct option is A, endosperm can be a cotyledon which functions as a source of food for embryo.
They prevent bursting of the cells. Aquaporins regulate the water flux in the kidney, red blood cells, etc.
Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:
blood vessel length
blood viscosity
blood vessel diameter
blood colloid osmotic pressure
Answer:
blood colloid osmotic pressure
Explanation:
- Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood flow by blood vessels.
- It is directly proportional to blood vessel length as more the distance to travel, more will be the resistance.
- It is also directly proportional to blood viscosity as more energy is required to push viscous material.
- It is indirectly proportional to blood vessel diameter. More the diameter of the vessel, easier it is for the blood to pass.
- However, it does not depend on blood colloid osmotic pressure. Colloid osmotic pressure is created by the protein components of blood and they do not have any direct impact on blood flow.
