Answer:

The correct answer is: Vacuoles in plants are much larger than those in animals.

Explanation:

The cell membrane of animals is not thicker than those in plants. In addition, plant cells have a thick cell wall surrounding the cell membrane that is made of cellulose and provides great protection against osmotic and mechanical stress.

Vacuoles in plants ARE much larger than vacuoles in animals, because plant cells r<u>equire much more water</u> and other substances to function properly. Animals, on the other hand, can ingest water and nutrients through food.

Animal cells DO have chromosomes. Every organism has chromosomes in their cells: prokaryotes have one single circular chromosome, while eukaryotes have many linear chromosomes (humans, for example, have 46 chromosomes).

Plant cells HAVE chloroplasts, as these organelles are crucial, since they participate in the process of photosynthesis - which is fundamental for the nourishment of the plant.

The statement that belongs in Kiko's report is Vacuoles in plants are much larger than those in animals.

Why do you think leaves have stomata on their underside only? Explain.
Alexandra [31]
The stomata must be open during the daylight hours to let oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through. While they are open, water vapor escapes into the atmosphere (transpiration). ... Transpiration is the loss of water through stomata, so, more stomata are found on the lower surface to prevent excessive loss of water.

In a lotus plant, stomata is found on the upper epidermis of the leaf.

Stomata are responsible for the exchange of gas with the surrounding atmosphere of the leaf. Their guard cells stay taut during the day to keep the stoma open.

Guard cells can only stay open if they are saturated with a certain quantity of water.

From this information we can infer that stomata are typically found on the lower epidermis to prevent water damage when it rains.

The rain would not only cover the openings, it would also ruin the osmotic balance of the guard cells causing inefficiency and damage to the cycle of gaseous exchange.

Natural selection probably selected against such plants giving rise to those with stomata on the underside.

What is the function of lipoprotein lipase?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Hydrolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins

Explanation:

Lipoprotein lipase is a water-soluble enzyme which includes pancreatic lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase.  

Enzymes involved in triacylglycerol digestion are lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can.

jekas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Honeycreepers arose from a single species that migrated to Hawaii and adapted to different niches over time.

Explanation:

All Hawaiian honeycreeper bird species share similar muscle and skeletal structures. This suggests that all Hawaiian bird species arose from a common ancestor and evolved due to different environmental conditions such as eating particular foods for particular species.

It is believed to be a single species of honeycreeper who migrated from the mainland to Hawaiin island and adapted to different niches over time by the process known as natural selection.

Answer: I don't have a definitive answer for this question but I do have a helpful explanation.

Explanation: Try to find out what each letter means and organize the elements by how they connect to each other. If you don't know you can research to find a diagram that can help show you how to connect these functional elements. You could try searching how do you find the elements of HOH in a diagram.
