Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the earth that occurs due to the release of energy during the seismic wave propagation through the interior of the earth. The point from which the earthquake arises is termed as the focus. The focus of an earthquake is also considered as the hypocenter. And the point that is directly above the focus (hypocenter) is known as the epicenter.

Similarly, this focus and the epicenter also occurs in a region where there is a presence of a fault, that results in earthquakes of various magnitudes. This means that the point that is directly above the start of the fault slippage is also known as the epicenter.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Which cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthates through a plant?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

sieve-tube elements, companion cells

Explanation:

Sieve-tube elements and companion cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthes through a plant.

The sieve tube elements are shorter (almost organelle-free) living cells, placed end to end, forming the sieve tubes. Their transverse cell walls are called sieve plaques that make connections between cells and through openings called sieves establish the connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.  Each sieve is coated with calose (glucose polymer), which in winter can completely clog the vessel and then dissolve in spring. When infections occur or the vessel is parasitized, it can also be clogged with callose.

Companion cells are specialized parenchymal cells, which contain all the components that exist in living cells, including the nucleus, are the cells most closely linked to the sieved tube element. The Screened Tube Element and its companion cells are related in development, are derived from the same mother cell, and have several cytoplasmic connections to each other. Due to the many connections, the potential function of the companion cells is to release substances into the sieved tube element and, when the nucleus is absent, to include information molecules, proteins and ATP. When a screened element dies, its companion cells also die, which is a demonstration of this interdependence.
