Why are air spaces located near the lower surface of the leaf?

Biology
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
6 0
  The air spaces occur in Spongy mesophyll tissue.There are large spaces in a leaf because it is for storing water and carbon dioxide which will be used for photosynthesis. The large air spaces are usually found in the spongy layer of the mesophyll. The arrangement of this spongy mesophyll facilitates the movement of gases through the mesophyll. Directly beneath each stomate at the leaf surface there is usually a small air space, called a stomatal chamber, where no mesophyll cells are present. This also aids in gas exchange.

Meiosis contributes to genetic variation due to which of the following characteristics of the process?
Rashid [163]

Answer: Due to crossing over and independent assortment.

Explanation: Crossing over occurs in Prophase I. It's when the homologous chromosmes switch genes with each other. This ways, genes are recombined, unique chromosmes are made!

Pie

Answer:

Following Statements are true.

1. Cells receive molecular signals that communicate their position in relation to other cells.

3. Differential gene expression affects the developmental process in animals.

4. Positional information controls pattern formation.

6. Homeotic genes code for transcription factors that control the development of segment-specific body parts.

Explanation:

The formation of an eukaryotic organisms's spatial organization which includes organ formation and tissue arrangement is called as Pattern formation.

Molecular signals are received by cell. This phenomenon collectively refereed as positional information. Through this phenomenon cells are informed about their locomotion with respect to body axes and other cells. Regulation of pattern formation is controlled by Positional information.

When body axes is established a gene called homeotic gene start working as regulatory genes. This gene identify specific body segment in an organism which results in the formation of segment-specific body structures in the correct locations on the body.

_________ cells must be in osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments, because if they swell or shrink their membra
dlinn [17]
Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").

HOPE THOSE EXAMPLES HELP!!
