Answer: a. Stomata open at Night

Explanation:

As a tactic to minimize photorespiration in warm regions, many water-storing plants such as cacti and pineapples modified its method of carbon fixation. This process is called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), following the plant family Crassulaceae, in which it was first identified. In these plants, the stomata (singular, stoma), specialized openings in the leaves of all plants through which CO2 enters and water vapor is lost, open during the night and close during the day. This model of stomatal opening and closing is the opposite of that in most plants.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Processing and packaging of cellular materials prior to export

Explanation:

Our cells contain many different organelles. Every organelle has its own function, just like every organ in our bodies.

The Golgi apparatus is one of these organelles. It can be found in most eukaryotic cells. Its purpose is to transport, modify, and package proteins and lipids before they're delivered to other parts of the body. This is the function the organelle with smooth-sided channels Megan is observing would need to perform in order to be identified as the Golgi apparatus.
