Answer:

response to stimuli / tropism

Explanation:

The plants and animals always respond to stimuli. It is an innate character of all living things. When a bright light falls on the eye, it closes immediately. This is responding to the stimuli. When someone touches the leaves of touch-me-not plants it closes its leaves due to the external stimuli.

The plants respond to the light. Because it does photosynthesis in the presence of light. Therefore, the leaves and branches of the plants always bend towards the light. This process is called phototropism.

Similarly, the roots of the plants move towards gravity under the ground. This is called geotropism.

Besides phototropism and geotropism, other types of stimuli are there - hydrotropism(response to the water), chemotropism(response to certain chemicals).

That's why the plants growing on the windowsill move towards outside where light comes.

Give five examples of gymnosperms and their geographical locations
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, Gnetophyte.

Explanation:

Gymnosperm (naked seeds). These type of plants don´t produce fruits nor flowers, the seeds are not contained within an ovary or fruit. The seeds are exposed on the surface of the leave-like structures named bracts, bracts are modified leafs or scales. The seeds of these type of plants are directly fertilized by pollination since they are open to the air.

Some examples are:

Conifers (cedars, douglas first, cypresses, etc), are distributed in most parts of the world, especially in cold areas. They are specially abundant in the boreal forest of the northern atmosphere.  

Cycads (genus Cycas, genus Bowenia, genius Dioon, etc) are natives of warm regions the Easter and Western hemisphere. They are well distributed in Africa, Australia, South America. They are prominent different species are found in Central America.

Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo) Is native from China.

Gnetophyte (Ephedra, Gnetum, Welwitschia mirabilis, etc) They are found in dry and cool regions in both hemispheres, western and eastern.

Ephedra is distributed in desert areas in the southwestern United States, and some parts in Mexico and South America.

Welwitschia mirabilis, is found in Namib desert of southwestern Africa.

Intensely biosynthetic secretory protein cells such as neurons would be expected to have greater amounts of _________ than other
Rus_ich [418]

AnsweR:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum is a member of the endomembrane system and is present as a continuation of the nuclear membrane. They are divided into the rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and is responsible for the synthesis of secretory proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesize lipids.

Therefore cells that intensely biosynthesize secretory proteins like neurons, white blood cells have a greater amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum than another cell of the body.
