<span>If we put a Rhoeo leaf in plain water, the water concentration of the leaf cells will be higher than that of the plain water. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the organism. So, the water will exit the leaf cells, which will consequently shrink in size. The most of the cells will shrink in size, causing the leaf to shrink, too.</span>
My Answer: Vestigial organs
Why?: " Vestigial organs are physical structures that were fully developed
and functional in an ancestral group of organisms but are reduced
and unused in the later species."
Hope I helped! :D
Answer:
c) Gives a cell its distinctive characteristics
Explanation:
Carbohydrates perform two main functions in the cell's membrane: <em>they participate in cell recognition and adhesion</em> (cell-cell signaling or cell-pathogen interactions), they also have a structural role as a physical barrier.
Most of the carbohydrates linked to the membrane are in the form of <em>glycoproteins oy glycolipids</em>, these are the molecules that share information and recognize host cells. <em>Glycocalyx </em>is another way we find carbohydrates in the cell membrane, this layer has cell-adhesion molecules that enable cells to adhere to each other.
I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!
