Answer:
Energy
Explanation:
An energy pyramid shows the amount of energy available at each feeding level in an ecosystem.
Answer:
The second statement is correct: "The "host range" for a virus is determined by the presence or absence of particular components on the surface of a host cell that are required for the virus to attach."
Explanation:
The virus attaching itself to the host cell is the first step for it to successfully infect the host. Viruses are smaller in size than bacteria, so the first statement is incorrect. The third statement is incorrect because viruses do not have the necessary machinery to carry out protein synthesis or to generate ATP, this precisely why they seek out a host to begin with. The fourth statement is false because the virus will either have DNA or RNA, but both at the same time.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
Answer: When wilted plants are given water, it enters the cell generating turgor and giving a firmer appearance, and this water is stored in the vacuoles.
Explanation:
Turgor is a phenomenon in plant cells in which the cell expands due to the pressure exerted by the fluids and also by the cell content on the walls. It is related to osmosis, since the external pressure is usually very high and this internal pressure dilates the cell as much as the elasticity of the membranes allows. <u>Then, the cells swell by absorbing water, tensing the membranes because of the pressure against them.</u> When the fluid exerts outward pressure on the cell wall it is called turgor pressure. Whereas, the inward pressure exerted on the cell contents by the stretched cell wall is called wall pressure. Generally, both pressures, turgor pressure and wall pressure, are counterbalanced and balanced.
So, this pressure of turgor facilitates the elongation of the cells in the plant, and also, the cells use this phenomenon to regulate the transpiration through the opening and closing of the stomach.
Thereby, the turgor of a living cell is influenced by three primary factors:
- An adequate supply of water.
- The formation of osmotically substances.
- A semi-permeable membrane.
Vacuoles are organelles bounded by a single membrane and present in plant and fungal cells, and where water is stored. Plant cells control their turgor pressure through the movement of water into or out of vacuoles. When wilted plants are given water, it enters the cell generating turgor and giving a firmer appearance, and this water is stored in the vacuoles.
