What would most likely happen to plants if they did not have a waxy outer coating?

Biology

They would dehydrate too rapidly and die. Plants (well, plants with true vascular systems) need to have water to dehydrate from the leaves to help draw the water up from the soil. This is transpiration, but without the waxy cuticle this would occur at an excessive rate, killing the plant.

DIA [1.3K]
<span>The primary desired therapeutic effect of mannitol is the reduction of intracranial pressure. This pressure, most likely caused by swelling on the brain, is generally caused by head traumas and can be life threatening. The administration of mannitol reduces this swelling thus decreasing the cranial pressure.</span>

What can be done to reduce the production of carbon dioxide?.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Probably not much.

We exhale carbon dioxide every second.

"Burn less trees." - thank you kaliliew16

Therefore, not much can be done.. We would have to all stop breathing to stop the flow of carbon dioxide, meaning we'd all die off quickly due to lack of oxygen.

hope it helps you!

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

It will increase the rate of photosynthesis as there will be more carbon dioxide ... however there may be a limiting factor which will limit the rate to keep it constant... Such as the opening if the stomata to receive more CO2 which in turn causes loss of water by transpiration.

How is the increase in pulse rate while carrying out vigorous activities related to the rate of oxygen intake and release of car
polet [3.4K]
During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest. The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.

How does the anaphase stage differ in the two phases of meiosis? Anaphase I separates sister chromatids and anaphase II separate
max2010maxim [7]

The answer is <span>Anaphase I separates homologous chromosomes and anaphase II separates sister chromatids into daughter cells.</span>


Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so in total, meiosis results in four haploid cells. So, in meiosis, there are two anaphases - the anaphase I in meiosis I and the anaphase II in meiosis II.

<span>In anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells. In meiosis I there are 46 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as pairs of sister chromatids. In anaphase of meiosis II, since the cell is haploid, there are 23 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as sister chromatids.</span>
