Answer:

A,D, E,K- these are the fat soluble vitamins.

Explanation:

They are  are hydrophobic  in nature, thus  can not be absorbed directly into the blood stream.They are   absorbed  only  with fat and lipids, in the GI tract ( in the lacteal,) and conveyed through the lymphatic system to  empty directly into the blood.  This explains the reason why they are called fat soluble vitamins

They are transported in the blood by binding to specific protein or as lipo protein, and  stored in the adipose tissues and liver as fat globules.

,

Their functions varies from  maintaining good vision by Vit A; to Ca+ and P03- absorption and homeostasis by Vit D. to  mediation in blood clotting  factors iby  Vit K  and to  neutralization of radicals as antioxidant   by Vit E.

<u>Thus any disease associated with difficulty fat  absorption will lead to deficiency of the fat-soluble vitamins. </u>

Based on your knowledge of reproduction in bryophytes and ferns, is the presence of flagellated sperm in cycads surprising? Why
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is - All plants share a similar life cycle

Explanation:

The sperms that the bryophytes are biflagellated whereas in ferns these are multi-flagellated that helps in the swimming to the archegonia or female part to perform the fertilization, due to the presence of water.

The sperms in cycads also have flagella for the same purpose of swimming in the pollen tube. The ferns and the bryophytes both require the same or similar life cycle that includes the flagella and water for the formation of the zygote.
