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.

Which is the correct breakdown and translation of the medical term vaginoperineotomy?

egoroff_w [7]

Hello!! I am going to break down the word first. Vagino means vagina, perineo means perineum (area between the anus and the scrotum), and tomy means to make an incision or cut. The translation would be to make an incision to repair a perineal tear (which means the vagina has separated from the anus). Perineal tears are usually caused by childbirth. I hope I helped and gave the answers you were looking for!! Have a great evening.

Explain how it is possible for nutrients to be transported to the cells of a flatworm with no circulatory system.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Flatworms are beings that do not have a heart, veins, arteries, capillaries, hemolymph, or some type of circulatory fluid. Their circulation occurs between cells or intercellularly and they are responsible for transporting substances by diffusion from cell to cell.

Explanation:

Flatworms are considered multicellular eukaryotic organisms. This implies that in their cells they have a cellular nucleus, in which the DNA is contained, structuring the chromosomes. Likewise, they are made up of several types of cells, each one specialized in a specific function. They lack a structured circulatory system as such. Because of this they do not have specialized structures such as a heart or blood vessels, however, the circulation of certain substances is established between their cells. This is done thanks to the diffusion process. Substances pass from one cell to another through this process.This does not apply to all flatworms, since in some species of bog and digenae there is a certain organization and some very small conducting vessels known as the endolymphatic system, the which forms a kind of plexus in the parenchyma.It should also be noted that some species do not even have a digestive system, being the digestive tract the one in charge of digestive functions and the distribution of the nutrients they receive.

Control and experimental groups. They repeated their experiment several times and found the results were the same.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Experience 1 is the one that has the greatest reliability.

Explanation: Because of this potential variation, biological experiments need to have a large sample size and preferably be repeated several times. With more samples and repeating the experiment more often, the probability of arriving at a wrong conclusion due to random variation is diminished. As experience 1 has had several repetitions, it is the experience with a more reliable result.
