Ivan is looking at a cross section of a stem taken from a vascular plant. He sees two different types of vascular tissue: the xy

lem, which is closer to the center of the stem, and the phloem, located around the xylem, closer to the outside of the stem. How do these two structures work together in a living plant?

Answer:

The xylem is a vascular tissue responsible for the transportation of water from the root to other parts of the plant. While the phloem is responsible for the transportation of soluble organic nutrients gotten from photosynthesis, to other parts of the plant.

Explanation:

The xylem is a hollow tube made up of dead empty cells that continues throughout the whole length of the trunk of a plant. The cohesive (i.e water attracts water) and adhesive (i.e water attracts xylem) nature of water makes it possible for water to move from the root which is the major source of water transported, up to the topmost leaf of the plant in a process called capillarity. An upward pull, which keeps the upstream of water continuous is generated during transpiration (i.e the loss of water from the plant).

The phloem, which is also hollow in nature, transports glucose from photosynthetic regions of the plant, majorly the leaf, to other parts of the plant. This process is called translocation.

Name two specific ranges that enzymes must have.

Answer:

Similarly, enzymes can only function in a certain pH range (acidic/alkaline). Their preference depends on where they are found in the body. For instance, enzymes in the intestines work best at 7.5 pH, whereas enzymes in the stomach work best at pH 2 because the stomach is much more acidic.

Tachycardia is a condition when the heart rate is greater than 100 beats per min at rest. The electrocardiogram is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart. Bradycardia on the other hand is when the heart rate is slower than normal. The Tachycardia and bradycardia can arise from either the SA node or from other areas of the cardiac.

Why are producers so important
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Producers are also known as autotrophs, which they make their own food. Producers capture sunlight energy and use it to convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) into O2 (oxygen) and C6H12O6 (glucose) for other organisms to use. This process is called photosynthesis.
