This is the exact answer:

Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted on the cell wall of a plant. It is caused by the movement of water into the cell. When a plant cell stores substances like ions or sugars, the amount of substances inside and outside the cell are no longer equal. There are more substances inside the cell. This causes water to rush into the cell, increasing the pressure on the cell wall. The cell swells up, helping the plant to stand upright.

Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall. Turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid. Loss of turgor, resulting from the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt.

Enzymes that breakdown disaccharides are located ________. a. in the lumen of the small intestine.
Dafna1 [17]
<span>Disaccharides need to be broken down into their component subunits (monosaccharides) before their absorption. The reaction that breaks them up is hydrolysis and it is done by enzymes- <span>glucosidases. Glucosidases are located on the brush border of the small intestine, attached to the surface of the epithelial cells. After the catalyzation of these disaccharides, the epithelial cells take up the monosaccharides and transport them inside using ATP energy. From there they are transported into the bloodstream.</span></span>

What kind of evidence would be needed in order to change any part of cell theory?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In order to change any part of the cell theory, we will have to prove that the cells are not the basic unit of life. We will have to provide evidence that a cell does not distinguish a living thing from a non-living thing. We will either have to prove the spontaneous generation to be true or have to prove that if not cells, then what are the basic units of life. We will also need evidence to prove that a cell does not arise from a pre-existing cell.
