Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, rhizoids.

Explanation:

Bryophyte is the collective term for hornworts, mosses, and liverworts. Bryology refers to the study of bryophytes. These are the spore-producing plants rather than the seed-producing plants and are devoid of flowers. Bryophytes do not possess true roots, they exhibit root-like anchoring compositions, known as rhizoids.  

Rhizoid is a thin and short filament found in plants like mosses and liverworts, which anchors the vegetative body of the species to a substratum that possesses the tendency of captivating nutrients. The prime function of rhizoids is to help the species of plants to absorb minerals, nutrients, and water.

The given statement is True.

The transport process that does not requires the consumption of ATP molecules is called as passive transport. The movement of solute molecules along the concentration gradient (from higher concentration to lower concentration) is called diffusion. This process does not requires ATP for the movement of molecules from one place to another.

The first commercial application of genetic engineering was the use of bacteria to make insulin, a medicine needed by diabetics.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it lacks options. The options are:

A) It has made the demand for insulin decrease.

B) It has made the incidence of diabetes decrease.

C) It has made it easier for diabetics to inject themselves with insulin.

D) It has made insulin cheaper and more readily available.

The answer is D

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a biotechnological procedure that involves the transfer of genes from one organism to another using biotechnology. In this case, bacteria cells are said to be genetically modified because their genetic content is tampered with and the genes that produces the insulin protein in humans is added into their genome. Hence, they transcribe and translate this gene to produce the protein-insulin.

Diabetic patients cannot produce this insulin in their system. Hence, the insulin produced from this genetically modified bacteria cells can be administered to diabetics via injection. This genetically modified way of producing insulin has proven to be a far better option to the previous practice of slaughtering cattles and pigs to obtain this protein because the GM method allows insulin to be produced in large amounts making it available and cheaper to diabetics.
