Which of the following is a function of stomata?

Biology
1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]4 years ago
8 0


The most accurate answer is release water vapor.

Stomata are special pores in plants  found typically on the outer leaf skin layer called the epidermis. They consist of two specialized cells called guard cells that surround a tiny pore called a stoma.

Their main function is to allow water vapor and gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to move rapidly in and out of the leaf.

The word stomata means mouth in Greek because they allow communication between the  internal and external environments of the plant.

pochemuha

Answer:

I'm guesssing it's B? I did this a very long time ago( two weeks ago)

Explanation:

Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.

What effects does hydrogen bonding and polarity have on water?
lesya [120]
Oxygen has a partial negative charge, whereas hydrogen had a partial positive charge.

This means that water molecules are polar and can be used to dissolve a lot of chemicals, that's why water is such a popular solvent.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. short and less complex.

Explanation:

A food web is a network of many food chains. The food chain is one pathway that describes the path of the animals finds food, it is linear representation. Food web shows all the plants and animals in connection with each other in the food web.

In the Arctic, biodiversity is comparatively low with fewer species of flora and very less number of fauna that include caribou, hare, musk ox pika, and insects are the primary consumers.

Secondary consumer eats herbivores and these organisms are normally are top trophic levels in arctic include fish and polar bear. So the consumers, primary consumer and predators or secondary consumers form a short and less complex.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A. short and less complex.

What are histones, and how are they arranged in nucleosomes? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right t
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

1) c. five

2) a. lysine and arginine

3) g. two

4) d. four

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.

Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and then condense it to chromatin.

Histones include five main classes of relatively small basic proteins containing relatively large amounts of lysine and arginine. Nucleosomes are made of two each of four types of histones.
