Why do you think plant cells have bigger vacuoles than animal cells

Biology

In animal cells, vacuoles are storage facilities for food, water, and wastes.  An animal cell will typically have aeveral small vacuoles.  In plant cells, the role of the vacuoles is slightly different, and instead of several small vacuoles, a plant cell has one large, central vacuole.  It's primary function is storage of water, but the water in the vacuoles in a plant cell also contributes to the plant's overall structure.  When the vacuoles are full, the cells are turgid, giving rigidity to the plant.  When the vacuoles are not full, the cells are flaccid, and the plant wilts.

All of the following describe possible results of competition between two species except A) competitive exclusion. B) aposematic
boyakko [2]

Answer:

B) aposematic coloration

Explanation:

The species constantly compete between each other, some because they occupy the same niche int he food chain, others even though they are in different niches tend to destroy each other, and some just avoid each other and partition the resources. This often results in partitioning of the resources between different species, when usually they are active in different parts of the day and avoid each other. Also, it is common that some of the species is more competitive, so that will result in a decline of the other species, or if the species are on the same level of competitiveness, then usually both species have declines in numbers to some optimal level. The aposematic coloration though is not part of the competition between the species. It is a type of coloration that warns the other species that the species that possesses it is either not good for eating, or it has a weapon that can harm them, thus they should avoid it and leave it alone.

Which type of RNA interacts with nuclear proteins to form a ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for intron removal? a) snRNA b
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a) snRNA

Explanation:

The association of small nuclear RNA  (snRNA) and some specific proteins forms small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes.  Some complexes are spliceosomes,  molecular machines -made up of a snRNA and about 80 proteins- that remove introns from pre-mRNAs via successive phosphoryl transfer reactions.

two parent butterflies with normal wings have offspring with altered wing shapes what most likely caused this change
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The Parents may have had heterozygous genotypes.

Explanation:

Normal wings could be the dominant allele that is expressed in the phenotype, and altered wings could be the recessive allele. If both parents had a heterozygous genotype, it is possible for the offspring to have a homzygous recessive genotype.
