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 />

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is The drug binds to the 30S small ribosomal subunit eukaryotes have 40S small sub unit.

Explanation:

Tetracycline belongs to broad spectrum antibiotic.Tetracycline is named so because it contain a derivative of four hydrocarbon rings.

Tetracycline act by inhibiting the protein synthesis process in prokatotes by binding to the small ribosomal subunit also called 30S subsunit and blocks the binding of amino acyl tRNA to the A site or attachment site of ribosome.

As eukaryotes contain 40S ribosomal subunit,it becomes difficult for tetracycline to bind with 40S ribosomal subunit of eukaryotes.
