Explain how osmosis creates turgor pressure in plants

1 answer:

6 0

Osmosis refers to the transfer of water across a membrane and pressure of water inside plant cells is called turgor pressure. Osmosis causes cells to lose or gain water, which means it can increase or decrease the turgor pressure inside the cells. When the concentration of water available outside the cell is higher than inside, plant cell will gain water. When it's the other way around, the plant cells lose water.

Andrews [41]

The answer is <span>-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.

Bacteria (or any other organism) are not able to make changes to their DNA in order to protect themselves or to learn to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces. If they were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, they would all survive.
These leave the second choice as the correct answer. This is the real situation, and is a good example of natural selection.</span>

Which of the following statements is correct regarding engineering maize plants with a herbicide-resistance gene using Agrobacte

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.

Explanation:

Ti-plasmid has the ability to introduce part of its DNA (t-DNA) into the genome of host plants. This is very important for the relationship of genetic manipulation in maize plants, with the aim of inducing a gene that promotes herbicide resistance. In addition, T-DNA has many genes that code for the production of plant growth phytohormones, which is extremely important for the cloning process to work. In this case, we can assume that the correct answer for yours is the letter B.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Aldehyde has C=O bonded to atleast one H atom while Ketone has C=O bonded to two carbon atoms

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

Explanation:

Similarity

Both the aldehyde and ketone have C=O group

Difference

In aldehye the C=O group require atleast one hydrogen atom or the functional group in aldehyde is -CHO

while in ketone the function group is C=O only that is bonded to two carbon atoms.

Example

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses
