Answer:

Cells would most probably not exist because these units of life metabolize energy molecules like glucose to harness their energy for the running of biochemical processes, like active transport, to support life. However, harnessing this energy from these energy molecules is NOT 100 percent efficient. A higher percentage of energy is lost as heat in the process.

Therefore if the cells were required to carry all molecules in and out of the cell, actively, including the energy molecules themselves (which is counterintuitive), this would require a lot of energy and would be unsustainable. This would be analogical to the counteracting and infinite loop of more fuel needed to carry the mass of the more fuel in space travel...

What is fibrous root system?​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fibrous root is one of the small hair-like roots of the fibrous root system. Fibrous roots are derived from the base of the plant. This root system is available mainly in Monocotyledons, Gymnospermae (conifers) and Pteridophyta (ferns). Most of the fibrous roots grow horizontally and very few roots grow vertically to anchor the plant. Most importantly, the fibrous roots are short. They grow near the surface of the soil, not deep into the soil.
