What is an important characteristic of the plant cell wall?

Biology

salantis [7]3 years ago

The best answer is b - it is rigid.

The cell wall is defined as the rigid, outermost layer found in plants and also certain bacteria, algae and fungi. It is absent in animal cells.

The plant cell wall is made up  cellulose which is a structural carbohydrate. The cell wall is rigid and thus offers structural support allowing plant such as trees to grow to great heights.

It also helps prevent water loss, helps protect against insects and pathogens and keeps the shape of the plant.

Insectivorous birds are more likely to eat medium sized insects because the exoskeleton of large insects is too hard to break, a
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Option A: True

Explanation:

Insectivorous birds such as bluebirds, dippers and flycatchers prefer to eat medium-sized insects. This is because like most birds, they love easy and satisfying meals. To the birds, a medium-sized insect is a good compromise because it is quite easy to chew and digest and at the same time, easy to find.

As a result, most insectivorous birds prefer to get their daily ration of proteins from the medium-sized birds.

Starch, cellulose, dextran, and glycogen are polysaccharides. How are they similar? To what are their different properties due?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

similarity

Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose

differences

                monomer/glucose     glycosidic bond    branching

1.starch              α glucose          1-4 and 1-6               branch and unbranced

  amylose                                       1-4                          unbranched

  amylopectin                               1-4 and 1-6              branched

2. dextran          α glucose          1-6                           branched

3. cellulose        β glucose           1-4                          unbranched, linear        

4. glycogen       α glucose           1-4 and 1-6              branched (shorter

                                                                                     branches than starch)

Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.

Explanation:

Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose

Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.

Drag each label to the correct location. Each label can be used more than once. In a hydropower station, water stored in dams is
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Stored water - gravitational energy

Water fall - kinetic energy

Turbine - kinetic energy

Powerlines - electric energy

Explanation:

Dams are used to store or hold water for hydroelectric power plants. This stored water which has gravitational energy is a form of potential energy.

When the water is left to fall and run fast through the turbine, the gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the turbine to spin.

As the turbine spins, kinetic energy that is produced also powers the shaft of the engine in the electric generator, which produces electricuty.

Kinetic energy is transformed to electric energy and transmitted along powerlines.

*See attachment below for labelled energy that is being transformed at several points.
