Buffy coat.

Explanation:

Between the plasma, and red blood cells the platelets, and white blood cells form a thin white layer which is known as Buffy coat following density gradient centrifugation of the blood.

a. parasitism:

The parasite benefits by harming the host e.g hookworms and humans

b. commensalism

In this association, one species benefits while the other is unaffected (its not harm and dies not benefit) e.g. epiphytic orchids and trees

c. mutualism

Here, both species benefit as seen in rumen bacteria and cows

Explanation:

Parasitism = +/- relationship

The predator benefits by harming the host. E.g. hookworms and humans. The hookworm (parasite) eat man blood while man (host) loses blood to it.

Commensalism = +/0 relationship

One specie(s) benefits while the other specie(s) neither benefits nor is harmed. E.g. epiphytic orchids live on tree branches or tree trunks as it's habitat or shelter while the trees neither benefits nor is harmed

Mutualism = +/+ relationship

Both organisms benefit in this relationship. E.g. rumen microbes aids grass digestion in cows, while the microbes benefit as it obtain steady food or nutrient from the cow

Which is an example of positive gravitropism?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

c. the plant root growing down into the soil

Explanation:

The plant root going down deep into the soil is an example of positive gravitropism. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of earth i.e. downwards and roots follow the direction of gravity automatically by growing downward towards soil that is why it is known as positive gravitropism. In short we can say that root favors the direction of gravity.

Shoot on the other hand show negative geotropism/gravitropism i.e. it grows towards the opposite direction of gravity. Shoot grow towards upside direction i.e. away from the surface towards sky.
