Vestigial traits are adaptations to environmental pressures which are no longer present.
homologous structures are similar structures found in different species that were present in a common ancestor.
analogous traits are similar traits found in different species that were developed independently (this process is known as convergent evolution)
Answer:
Apical meristem is situated at the growing tips of stems and roots whereas lateral meristem is located beneath the bark and in vascular bundles of dicot roots and stems.
Explanation:
Intercalary meristem, on the other hand, is found at the base of leaves or internode.
Answer:
Explanation:
Plants, algae, and some kinds of bacteria have the ability to photosynthesize. They have special organelles called chloroplasts.
These organelles are the site of <u>photosynthesis</u>. They contain green pigment known as chlorophyll which can capture sunlight. The light energy plus carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen.
The glucose becomes the organism's food and energy source, but the oxygen is just released as a waste product.
Answer:
The rate of photosynthesis increases the intensity of light or concentration of CO2 increases, however, at a certain temperature, the rate can decrease due to enzyme denaturation.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a unique metabolic process specific to only some organisms. The photosynthetic process, however, cannot occur without some vital ingredients including light, Carbon dioxide (CO2) and optimum temperature.
An increase in the concentration of light (from sun) and CO2 (from atmosphere) increases the rate at which photosynthesis occurs i.e. more light, CO2 results in more photosynthetic process. However, an increase in TEMPERATURE also increases the photosynthetic rate but at a particular temperature, the enzymes that bring about the photosynthetic process can be denatured or damaged, hence, at an EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE, photosynthesis can be inhibited.
