However, fungi are known to aid humanity in such aspects including;

Natural pesticides

Agriculture

How specialized structures increase the probability of successful reproduction in the plants, and factors that affect their grow

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Specialized structures such as

1. The brightly colored flowers attract insects that transfer pollen from the anther to the stigma of another plant.

2. The scented smell of flowers and their nectars also attract insect and other pollinators to them.

Explanation:

Reproduction refers to the way by which plants and animals produce offspring or their types. Pollination, which is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same or another flower is a vital way by which plants accomplish this.

Structures of plants such as their brightly colored flowers, the nectars produced by them, as well as their characteristic smells attract pollinators to them that, in turn, aid reproduction.

________ allow materials to be exchanged between the blood and tissues, ________ carry blood towards the heart, and ________ car

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

b. Capillaries; veins; arteries

Explanation:

Capillaries are the blood vessels with very thin walls. They serve as a site for an exchange of substances such as respiratory gases, nutrients, and toxins between the blood and the cells of the tissues. Veins are the blood vessels that mostly pick the deoxygenated blood from the body cells and deliver it to the heart for oxygenation. On the other hand, arteries are the blood vessels that mostly carry the oxygen-rich blood. They pick the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to body cells. Therefore, veins carry blood towards the heart while arteries carry it away from the heart.

Quade is studying for an exam, which will cover neurons and action potentials. He has drawn a diagram that shows the segments of

VMariaS [17]

Answer: positive sodium ions

Explanation:

This relates to the Action Potential which is what a nerve cell goes through when it needs to send information down the nerve cell to another cell and so on till it gets to the destination of the message.

The information is transmitted when the segments of the axon fire and when they do, positive sodium ions come in from outside the cell to the inside thereby making the inside positive. The previous segment would return to a resting potential when potassium ions which are negative, rush into the cell.
