Biology

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 />

The diagram shows the process of transcription, which takes place in the nucleus of a cell. What is occurring?
chubhunter [2.5K]
<span>Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template. Meanwhile, mRNA is comparable to a copy from a reference book because it carries the same information as DNA but is not used for long-term storage and can freely exit the nucleus. Although the mRNA contains the same information, it is not an identical copy of the DNA segment, because its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.</span>

How would you describe the process of a gas condensing into a liquid and then back into a gas? What is happening to the atoms of
Lina20 [59]

During the process of a gas condensing into a liquid and then back into a gas, all the molecules go flying apart and become a gas. This process is called Evaporation.

Explanation:

The process in which the molecules of a gas slow down, come together and form a liquid. This process is known as condensation.

When the gas condenses to liquid, it releases thermal energy absorbed to become a gas. The temperature does not change during this process.

The water vapor condenses to form the liquid water droplets in clouds. When heating the solid it produces energy and this causes the particle to move and the solid to change into liquid ,or melt.

If the liquid is heated they evaporate and turn into a gas. The energy is taken away from the gas may leads to turn into a liquid.
