Answer: To transport water

Explanation:

The plant has 2 function system to transport food, water and minerals all around. Among the two are xylem and phloem. While Xylem carries water and minerals all the way from the roots to the leaves, phyloem however transport sugar and other nutrients around the plants. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water conducting cells which are known as tracheary elements. However, Xylem vessels consist of dead cells. They have thick, strengthened cellulose cell wall with a hollow lumen. The end walls of the cells have disappeared, so a long, open tube is formed. The walls of the xylem vessel contains holes called pits which water enters through.

As the xylem vessel is specialised to transport water and minerals from the root up to other parts of the plant, it also helps supporting the stem and strengthening it as well

Answer:

Viruses Are Link Between Living and Non-Living

Explanation:

Viruses Are Link Between Living and Non-Living

  • Virus are exception of Cell Theory
  • Virus need a host to Survive
  • A virus is non-living before host and
  • A virus is Living after getting the Host

Is the correct order in a homeostatic feedback system stimulus, receoptor, control centre, effector?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Homeostatic is nothing but ability of a system or living organism to manipulate its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium, for example the ability of warm-blooded animals to ascertain a constant body temperature.

The Homoeostatic feedback mechanism has three basis components and they are independent to one another.

These components are receptor, effector and integrating center. The function of receptor is to sense external stimuli and send information to integrating center. The integrating center generally hypothalmus in brain sends this signal to effector for example an organ to react to the stimuli.

So, the order  in a homeostatic feedback system stimulus, receoptor, control centre, effector is correct.

Which is not a major difference in the organization or content of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

Organisms possess two types of genome viz; prokaryotic genome and eukaryotic genome. The eukaryotic genome is possessed by cells with a well-defined nucleus, where their genetic material (DNA). The prokaryotic genome, on the other hand, lacks a membrane-bound nucleus. The major organization or content between these two genomes are:

- Prokaryotic genomes generally have less DNA and fewer genes than eukaryotic genomes.

- Prokaryotic genomes have fewer repeated sequences and noncoding, intragenic sequences than eukaryotic genomes.

- Most prokaryotic genomes are contained in one circular chromosome while most eukaryotic genomes are contained on several linear chromosomes.

- In general, eukaryotic genomes contain many introns, repeated sequences, and transposable elements.

Based on this, all of the above options are TRUE

Protein synthesis consumes four high-energy phosphate bonds per added amino acid. Transcription consumes two high energy phospha
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

30 protein molecules per mRNA molecule

Explanation:

In this problem, it is necessary to have into account that the transcriptional process requires six (6) phosphate bonds to synthesize one (1) codon (i.e, each three nucleotides), and also discards 95% more energy to make mRNA, it means 19 times this amount of energy >> 6 x 19 = 114 bonds. In consequence, transcription requires 120 phosphate bonds (6 + 114 = 120), while translation requires four (4) phosphate bonds per codon. From this deduction, it is possible to find the number of protein molecules synthesized with regard to the energy cost of the translation process and the transcriptional process >>> 120 bonds (transcription) /4 bonds (translation) = 30 protein molecules.
