Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
7 0

Sedimentation is a phenomenon in which the particles settle down in the fluid in which it was entrained. The particles come to rest against a barrier. This phenomenon is due the various forces acting on the particles these forces can be centrifugal force, gravity electromagnetism. Sedimentation may be related to objects of various sizes. The sediments can be as small as the dust particles or can as large as the rock in flowing water. Even small molecules have the sufficient mount of force to produce sediments.

  • In chemistry sedimentation is used to measure the size of the particles.
  • In geology sedimentation is the settlement of particles carried away by wind.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) Lateral branch shoots would grow more horizontally and have less of a tendency to turn upward.

d) Lateral branch roots fully embedded in soil would grow randomly upward and downward.

e) Roots breaking the soil surface would grow upward.

Explanation:

Inside the amyloplasts of the common bean the starch granules resemble variously sized cotton balls stuffed into a balloon. Under normal circumstances amyloplasts do nothing more than sit on the bottom of special gravity-sensing cells. When a plant is knocked over, the amyloplasts slide from what was recently the bottom of the cell onto a formerly vertical wall. Somehow, this movement is sensed and relayed to cells that secrete the growth-regulating plant hormone auxin.

Since the plant has lost the ability to transform glucose into the granules. The plant can´t differentiate between up or down because gravity is what causes these granules to settle down.
