Why is heartwood darker in color than sapwood?

Biology
2 answers:
timofeeve [1]3 years ago

Answer: B. Heartwood does not conduct water; sapwood is active in fluid transport.

Heartwood is a wood that is found in the center of the wood whereas, the sapwood is found at the periphery. The color of the heartwood is dark because it accumulates the nutrients, water and minerals in it but does not allow the transport of these substances to the overall tree or plant. The sapwood is active in distribution of these substances to the overall tree and plants. Therefore, is lighter in color.

The reason why heartwood is darker colors than sapwood is because the heartwood is closer to the center of the stem. Sapwood is away from the center of the stem. This is the reason for the color difference. <span />

What does nitrogen fixation accomplish?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A. It allows plants to use nitrogen to grow.

Explanation:

However, plants can't directly use nitrogen to grow. The bacteria need to convert atmospheric nitrogen ( N2 gas) into a form that plants can use.

Nitrogen fixation is a symbiotic relationship between plants and microorganisms of nitrogen fixers, which in the process of symbiosis perform the binding of nitrogen, which enters the earth from the air (atmosphere).

It is a reduction process of converting the gaseous form of nitrogen from the air into the ammonia form that is available to plants.

People with diseases that result in the malabsorption of which nutrient are at risk for a vitamin d deficiency?
grigory [225]

Inadequate dietary vitamin D or its deficiency leads to malabsorption of calcium. Nutritional disorder leads to the rare disease rickets, which causes bones to become soft and bend in children. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, which causes weak bones, bone pain and muscle weakness.

The body needs vitamin D to properly absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet. However, keeping the right quantities of calcium and phosphorus in bones is challenging when vitamin D levels are low.

The two sources of vitamin D are-

  • Natural sunlight
  • Foods such as fish oil, Egg yolk and fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel

There are other disease conditions which lead to poor absorption of vitamin D-

  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Celiac diseases
  • Kidney problems
