Answer:
The component of water potential due to the hydrostatic pressure that is exerted on water in a cell. ... In turgid plant cells it usually has a positive value as the entry of water causes the protoplast to push against the cell wall (see turgor).
Answer:
The immune system is closely associated with the lymphatic system
Explanation:
The endocrine system is a organ system that produce and secrete hormones all over the body. All the organ systems are interconnected and depend on each other and can be composed of different types of cells and tissues. But is it true that the immune system is closely associated with the lymphatic system because the lymphatic system rid the body out of toxins.
Answer: Option B - There are more than four genes that determine this trait.
Explanation:
The tobacco plant species have its leaf colour with characteristics that changes gradually over a range of values, which refers to continuous variation.
Note that continuous variation keep expressing gene variants in successive generations of the tobacco plants, that differs from the parents. So, there are MORE THAN four genes controling the expression of varying phenotypes in the leaves
Answer:
Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules that make up the structure of living beings. Few examples are <u>fats, oils and waxes</u>. Steroids are also a class of lipids but they are not structurally related to other lipids but do share some common properties with them. They are <em>insoluble in water and are hydrophobic</em>( water-repelling).
Explanation:
Lipids are insoluble in water as they are <em>non-polar</em> but soluble in non polar solvents (<em>chloroform</em>). Fat soluble vitamins like <u>A,D,E,K and steroids</u> have a different structure composed of fused four rings.
The most common example of steroid is cholesterol. Cholesterol acts as a precursor for many hormones and other signalling molecules.
