Answer:

It allows rapid conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

Explanation:

Vessels are one of the two types of conducting cells of xylem. Vessels are made of vessel elements. Vessel elements are the individual cells with perforation plates. The perforation plates have large holes (perforations). Perforation plates of adjacent vessel elements allow easier conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

The perforated end walls of vessel elements allow these conducting cells to conduct water more readily than tracheids. Stacking of vessel elements with perforated end walls make the vessel like a water pipe through which water is being readily conducted.

Describe how a measurement can be accurate but not precise?

morpeh [17]

You can have error both human error i.e eye balling a measurement to what looks close. and then you have inherent error the error that is already in the equipment i.e a 2 scales one can give a measurement of x when set to zero and if put it on a second scale you could get a measurement of y when set to zero because of calibration gravity etc things you cant control

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

it condenses the DNA so that it can fit inside the cell.

Explanation:

Supercoiling is a level of genome packaging and is important for the packaging of the DNA which is about 2m in length inside a nucleus that is about 6microm. Supercoiling refers to the over (positive supercoiling) or under winding (negative supercoiling) of a DNA strand, and is an expression of the strain on that strand. Supercoiling is in compacting DNA, and also allows for the regulation of access of transcriptional machinery and other biological activities to the DNA and in turn gene expression. Certain enzymes such as topoisomerases are able to change DNA topology to facilitate access of DNA replication or transcription.

What gland produces a secretion that causes fight-or-flight responses in effectors?a) adrenal medullab) salivatory glandc) repro

kupik [55]

Answer:

Adrenal medulla

Explanation:

Fight-or-flight or acute stress response is marked by physical changes, including nervous and endocrine changes, that prepare human or an animal to react or retreat. This response was first discovered by an American Physiologist, Walter Bradford Cannon.

In response to an acute stress, an area of the brain called AMYGDALA sends an emergency signal to the HYPOTHALAMUS, which acts like a command center and activates the body's sympathetic nervous system by releasing hormones. The sympathetic nervous system stimulate the adrenal medulla gland, triggering the release of CATECHOLAMINES (Epinephrine/adrenaline and Norepinephrine/noradrenaline) into the bloodstream.

This release induces several physiological changes in the body; The heart beats faster than normal; pushing blood to the muscles, heart and the vital organs, increased in blood pressure, blood sugar (glucose) are released into the bloodstream to give us the extra energy we need.
