What is the function of the companion cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:  

Companion cell is a type of specialized parenchyma cell, which is located in the phloem of the flowering plants.

Each of the companion cell is usually associated with the sieve element. The main function of the companion cell is uncertain but it regulates the activity of sieve tube.

It plays a major role in the loading and unloading of the sugar molecules into the sieve element. As the sieve tubes do not have nucleus and ribosomes so they need companion cell to help in the transportation of sugar molecules.

If the conservative model had been correct, how many generations of bacterial cell division would have had to pass before mesels
Reil [10]

No generations or hybrid would form before meselson and stahl would have observed evidence of a band in the cscl gradient.

The conservative model predicts that, following a single replication, half of the newly formed DNA double helices will be made entirely of the original, or old, DNA, and the other half will be entirely new. Then, each double helix would be completely replicated during the second round of replication. After that, 25% of the double helices would be all new, and 25% would be entirely old. Thus, the fraction of entirely new DNA double helices would increase with each succeeding round of replication, but the total number of completely unique DNA double helices would remain constant. Therefore, no hybrid DNA molecule containing 14N and 15N is replicated in the conservative model.

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.
Alik [6]

Explanation:

  • Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
  • Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
  • Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
  • These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
  • These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
  • Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
  • Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
  • Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.
