Which of the following is a major force that moves water through the xylem tissues of a plant?

Biology

Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D (both b and c).

Explanation:

Xylem is a type of vascular tissue in plants which transport the water and minerals in plants.

The major force involved in the transport of water through xylem are :

1. Transpiration pull-The force generated by the plants due to loss of water through a process called transpiration in leaf area which aids in the suction of water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plants is known as transpiration pull.

Loss of water in leaves due to transpiration generates negative pressure potential which causes upward movement of water from soil to roots to leaves is the major driving force in transport of water.

2. Capillary action- The movement of a liquid across the surface of a solid due to adhesion between solid and water molecules is known as capillary action.

Plant transpiration causes upward movement of water through xylem to which water molecules adhere gets the water to the tips of the tallest trees.

Thus, option D- transpiration pull  and capillary action is the correct answer.

When is the lac operon most active?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option WHEN GLUCOSE LEVELS ARE LOW AND LACTOSE IS PRESENT.

Explanation: To start with,Lac operon can be simply defined as a part of the DNA that is under the part of the DNA is manipulated and controlled by the same promoter,they can be found in some prokaryotic cells giving room for regulation over excess synthesis of protein.so simply put,these specific segment of the DNA binds with the segment of the polymerase of RNA so that transcription of the mRNA from the operon genes will be achieved.

Lac operon is also known as lactose operon, it is seen in some enteric bacteria like e.coli where they play a crucial role in coding of genes for those proteins that function in moving lactose into the cystocel and digesting it to form glucose that is used for energy generation. These lac operon are are most active when glucose levels are low and lactose is present,with the low level of glucose, the lac operon can be transcribed to a high level,this is to ascertain that the bacteria only gets to activate the lac operon and can only make use of it,that is using lactose when all the preferred energy source from glucose has been exhausted.

How do you adjust the focus of the microscope when observing organisms at high magnifications?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The microscope is an instrument used for the visualization of the cell and its other component. Different types of microscope are compound microscope, electron microscope and binocular microscope.

The adjustment of the slide is important to visualize the focused object. A proper source of light is required to focus the image. At high magnification, the fine focus control is used for the adjustment. At 100 X the oil is used to visualize the object.

As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels ________, the blood pressure ________,
KonstantinChe [14]
<span>As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels decreases, the blood pressure drops, and the velocity of blood flow slows.

The size of the arteries progressively decreases as they branch out from the major arteries of the body. Once the arteries are the size of the arterioles, the resistance to blood flow increases and velocity of blood flow slows then blood pressure drops.

As water enters this plant cell structure, the cell becomes more turgid. This plant cell structure is the A) vacuole. B) cytopla
rjkz [21]
<span>The plant cell structure that makes the cell become turgin once water enters it is known as A. vacuole. It is a part of a cell that resembles a bubble and where food and water are stored so that the plant can use them and turn them into oxygen. So obviously, when there is water in vacuoles, they become bigger, so the plant becomes turgid, which means that it becomes swollen, swells up.</span>
