Answer:
Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration
Explanation:
Answer:
All of the statements are true.
The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes of humans and some animals (the other sex chromosome is the Y chromosome). Men have a single X chromosome and women two X chromosomes.
Diseases whose gene is localized on the X chromosome are most often transmitted in the X-linked recessive mode; some are transmitted on the dominant mode related to the X.
In this mode of inheritance, the morbid allele behaves like a recessive trait.
Women heterozygotes are not affected but can transmit the disease; they are aid to be conductive of the disease.
The disese is only manifested in male subjects (XY) with only one copy of the gene (hemizygous subjects)

Explanation:
This question is describing the organelles found in a cell. An organelle is a structure that performs a specific FUNCTION (1) in a cell. There are different kinds of organelles with each possessing its own peculiar function. Some of them are as follows:
- NUCLEUS, which is regarded as the brain of a cell because it directs or controls a cell's activities just like the brain of an organism does.
- MITOCHONDRIA is an organelle that produces the energy storing compound called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), hence, it is called power house of the cell.
- CHLOROPLAST is an organelle found in plant cells that functions in the conversion of light energy (from sun) into GLUCOSE (chemical energy) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
- RIBOSOMES is an organelle found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of PROTEIN production in a cell.
In simple terms, there are 4 categories of protists in basic biology characterized by their type of locomotion.
Locomotion by pseudopods or "false feet" is characteristic of ameobas (i.e. <em>Entamoeba histolytica</em>). Locomotion by papillary projections from the cell membrane called "cilia" is characteristic of <em>Paramecium </em>species. Locomotion by whip-like structures that propel the organism called "flagella" is characteristic of <em>Euglena </em>species.

Lastly, protists that do not have locomotive organelles are exemplified by <em>Plasmodium </em>species, the etiologic agent of malaria.
