Answer:

Cassava and carrots are examples of plant roots.

Explanation:

Many people do not know, but the root is an organ that is part of plants. Generally, the root of the plant is below the surface of the soil and has two specific functions that consist of fixing the plant to the soil and also to absorb water, nitrogen compounds and other types of substances such as phosphorus and potassium (which consist of raw or inorganic matter). In general, the roots are not edible (for humans), but there are a type of roots, called tuberous roots, that can be eaten. An example of this type of root is cassava and carrots.

Plant Roots. The root system of a plant constantly provides the stems and leaves with water and dissolved minerals. In order to accomplish this the roots must grow into new regions of the soil. The growth and metabolism of the plant root system is supported by the process of photosynthesis occurring in the leaves.

Explain why meiosis is being discussed in Genetics rather than mitosis?​
ch4aika [34]
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. Apart from this reduction in chromosome number, meiosis differs from mitosis in yet another way. Specifically, meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells.

According to the theory of endosymbiosis, the origin of chloroplasts probably involved: a. engulfing of small photosynthetic pro
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

A. engulfing of small photosynthetic prokaryotes by larger cell

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in today's eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. In this theory, the first eukaryotic cell was probably an amoeba-like cell that got nutrients by phagocytosis and contained a nucleus that formed when a piece of the cytoplasmic membrane pinched off around the chromosomes. Some of these amoeba-like organisms ingested prokaryotic cells that then survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.

Some Evidence for this is based on the following:

1. Chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and, like bacteria, have Fts proteins at their division plane.

2. The mitochondria are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and the mitochondria of some protists have Fts homologs at their division plane.

3. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is circular, not linear.

4. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own ribosomes that have 30S and 50S subunits, not 40S and 60S.

5. Several more primitive eukaryotic microbes, such as Giardia and Trichomonas have a nuclear membrane but no mitochondria.

En las arqueas, generalmente se encuentra en la forma L-isomérica, mientras que las bacterias y eucariotas tienen la forma D-isomérica. Una segunda diferencia es la presencia de un enlace éter en oposición a los lípidos enlazados a éster que se encuentran en eubacterias y eucariotas.
