Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar and it is the most important carbohydrates. It is used as the source of energy in both animals and plants. Glucose is the main products in the photosynthesis.

Sugar glucose is an organic compound which composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The functional groups present in the sugar glucose are hydroxyl, aldehyde groups.

From the given options, only hydroxyl group allows the sugar glucose to dissolve in blood.

The rate of water loss from the leaves of a potted plant can be measured by determining the mass of the plant at one-hour interv

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A potometer measures water loss from leaves. A bubble potometer measures the rate of water loss from a plant by transpiration. A weight photometer measures the amount of water lost by a plant through transpiration. The washing line method is used to prove that most water loss occurs from the lower surface of the leaf.

potometer' (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure), sometimes known as transpirometer, is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot which is almost equal to the water lost through transpiration. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration

Help please? what traits do all organisms with no internal thermoregulation have?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The answer to the question is C ectothermy

Explanation:

The answer to the question is C ectothermy

The traits which all organisms with no internal thermoregulation have are called an Ectothermy. Ectothermy is an organism in which the inner behavioral heat sources are significant in the regulation of body temperature. This organism depends on their ecological heats source, which allows them to work at an efficient rate. Some of this organism stays in an area where temperatures are nearly constant.
