The nutrients from the soil is taken up by the roots
to be distributed to the entire plant. The plant absorbs the nutrients into its
cells and utilized by the leaves, stem, trunk. They are also used to grow
flowers and to bare fruits.
Moreover, the nutrients are divided into two groups;
first the macronutrients which is needed by the plants in large amount such as
nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Second group is
the micronutrients, needed in tiny amounts that include zinc, copper,
manganese, boron, iron, sodium and cobalt. These two groups are essential for
normal plant growth and development.
The mangroves trees help in holding the soil in place, they help in absorbing the energy of waves, and they help in filtering water and better the quality of it.
Mangroves are a kind of estuarine or coastal wetland, featured by the existence of salt amended shrubs and trees, which develops beside the coast in subtropical or tropical latitudes all around the world. Several of the mangroves forests can be determined by their dense tangle of prop roots, which make the trees seem to be standing on stilts above the water.
The mangroves safeguard the shorelines from destructing hurricane, storms, winds, and floods. They help in inhibiting erosion by stabilizing the sediments with their tangled root infrastructure. They sustain the clarity and quality of water, trapping the sediments and filtering pollutants arising from land.
Trophic level: the feeding level of an organism in a food web or chain. Food web: a diagram showing a series of interconnected food chains and the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Food chain: a diagram showing the flow of energy from one trophic level to the next. E.g. Consumer or decomposed Consumer: an organism which feeds on other organisms to obtain its nutritional requirements (part of a food web/chain). Producer: an organism capable of trapping the suns energy and converting it to sugar in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore the term food web is the term used to include all of the above.
hope this helps, :)
A white blood cell engulfing foreign materials is more likely to carry out Endocytosis.
Explanation:
- Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes up a macromolecule into is cytoplasm by forming a vessicle.
- In the question two cases are given, both the cases involve the formation of membrane bound vessicle but in different ways.
- The excretion of hormones involves the movement of molecule outside the cytoplasm. This process is exocytosis.
- The engulfment of an antigen by WBC involves taking up of molecule within the cell so that it can be killed and digested. Thus in this case Endocytosis is more likely to occur..
