Answer:
Many cells are specialised. They have structures that are adapted for their function. For example, muscle cells bring parts of the body closer together. They contain protein fibres that can contract when energy is available, making the cells shorter.

Explanation:
Answer:
C) The stems would wilt.
Explanation:
The stem relies on the pressure of the plant cells to maintain its rigidity. The plant cells shrink when they lose water, losing their rigidness in the process.
Answer: allele, gene, DNA, chromosome, nucleus
Explanation: An allele is a variant of a gene or a different form of a gene. A gene is a segment of a DNA that codes for an RNA or a protein. A DNA is a genetic material that contains all the genetic information of an organism. A DNA is packaged and condensed into a threadlike material known as chromosome and chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.
Answer:
sieve-tube elements, companion cells
Explanation:
Sieve-tube elements and companion cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthes through a plant.
The sieve tube elements are shorter (almost organelle-free) living cells, placed end to end, forming the sieve tubes. Their transverse cell walls are called sieve plaques that make connections between cells and through openings called sieves establish the connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. Each sieve is coated with calose (glucose polymer), which in winter can completely clog the vessel and then dissolve in spring. When infections occur or the vessel is parasitized, it can also be clogged with callose.
Companion cells are specialized parenchymal cells, which contain all the components that exist in living cells, including the nucleus, are the cells most closely linked to the sieved tube element. The Screened Tube Element and its companion cells are related in development, are derived from the same mother cell, and have several cytoplasmic connections to each other. Due to the many connections, the potential function of the companion cells is to release substances into the sieved tube element and, when the nucleus is absent, to include information molecules, proteins and ATP. When a screened element dies, its companion cells also die, which is a demonstration of this interdependence.
