Answer:

The correct answer is Option D) "Stems grow toward a gap of light in a forest."

Explanation:

  • The phenomenon due to which plant shoot shows a tendency to move towards light is known as "Phototropism".
  • This is caused by a plant hormone called "Auxin".
  • Auxin is produced at the apical ends (both shoot tip and root tip) of the plants and it promotes cell elongation.
  • However, auxin is sensitive to light and gets degraded when exposed to light, so in the shoot tip it is produced on that side of the stem which is not exposed to light.
  • As a result of this, the side of the stem away from light elongates more (due to exposure to auxin) as compared to that which is exposed to light.
  • This causes the stem to bend towards the direction of light.
  • This is the reason for both the sunflower's diurnal movement and movement of the stem towards the light source in forest.
  • Roots grow down the soil due to the phenomenon called Geotropism. The hormone auxin is responsible for the elongation of root-tip towards gravity.
  • The phenomenon due to which vines wrap around the pole they touch is called Thigmotropism (directional movement induced by touch). The plant hormone auxin has an essential function here.
  • Water drawn from  soil by roots is used to maintain a turgor pressure (water pressure) in the leaves that keeps them erect. Absence of water results in a reduction of the turgor pressure in the leaves. This causes the leaves to wilt. Wilting of leaves reduce the surface area of the leaves that is exposed to the sunlight. This again lowers the rate of  transpiration through the stomata in absence of water thereby protecting the plant from dehydration.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

The neuron is the functional unit of the nervous system which transmits the signals to and fro the tissue and nervous system. The neurons transmit the signals in the form of an electrical impulse as a result of the movement of the ions across the neuron.

When a neuron does not transmit any signal therefore it is known to be at rest but at rest, the movement of ions takes place but very slowly. The movement ions lead to the accumulation of sodium ions inside than outside whereas potassium ions are concentrated outside as compared to inner.

This charge difference leads to the disequilibrium in the charges and hence a potential gradient is created. This potential is known as resting potential.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

likoan [24]

Answer:

Answer to 1: a black hole is a tremendous amount of matter crammed into a very small (zero) amount of space. Answer to 2: the top of your head would feel so much more gravitational pull than the tips of your toes that you would be stretched, longer and longer Answer to 3: <em><u>A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out.This can happen when a star is dying.</u></em> The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. because no light can get out, people can't see black holes Answer to 4: <u>stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature. </u>Answer to 5: the asymmetry of bright and dark sections of the ring are caused by the Doppler effect as the matter is coming toward Earth (brighter) or receding (dimmer).

When roots take up mineral ions, they are built up against their concentration gradient. both anion and cation transport utilize
attashe74 [19]
I believe the answer is B, primary active transport. Root hair cells in plant use active transport to absorb mineral ions such as nitrates from the soil. The concentrations of minerals in the soil are lower in the soil than in within the root hair cell, therefore the transport will be against the concentration gradient which does not favor diffusion, therefore the pant has to use active transport.
