Answer:

A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras. Gene flow

Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees. Natural Selection

The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger. Mutation

A grass fire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals. Genetic drift

Explanation:

Gene flow: Gene flow can be described as the transfer of genes or genetic variation from one population to another. Hence, the migration of a zebra to a different herd of zebras is a kind of gene flow.

Natural Selection: The phenomenon of natural selection favors those organisms which have better characteristics to survive in an environment. Hence, natural selection favours the taller plants.

Mutation: Mutation can be described as any change which occurs in the DNA of an organism. Hence, a change in the DNA of the snake is mutation.

Genetic Drift: Genetic drift is the change in the gene frequency of an area due to certain disastrous conditions such as a fire.

Explain how water, glucose and mineral salts are transported through a plant

spayn [35]

Answer:

Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

A study was undertaken to compare the respiratory responses of hypnotized

KIM [24]

Base on a study that was undertaken in order to compare the respiratory responses of hypnotized and non-hypnotized subjects to certain instructions. According to a study, the 16 male volunteers were allocated to a random experimental group to be hypnotized or to a control group. Baseline measurements were taken at the start of the experiment. Analyzing the data, researchers noticed that the baseline breathing patterns of the two groups were different; One explanation proposed for this unexpected experimental the difference of the group was more excited in the anticipation of the experience in being hypnotized.

Explanation:

Plant cells: (1,3,5,6)

Plant cells differ from animal cells in several ways.

Cell wall: One of the most defining one is plant cells have cell walls. These cell walls are rigid and they cover the plasma membrane of the plant cell. Cell walls have 3 layers and the outermost one is called the middle lamella, which is the cell cement. It acts like a cement because it is what holds one plant cell and the adjacent cells together. The middle lamella is made up of pectin.

The cell wall also has layers made up of cellulose, which happens to be a macromolecule as is the most abundant of its kind on Earth. They form bundles called microfibrils.

Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll are molecules found in plant cells that play a role in food production in plants. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight which is used in the process of food making called photosynthesis, along with other elements like water and carbon dioxide. Also chlorophyll gives the green pigmentation of plants.

Chloroplast: Chlorophyll are encased in an organelle called chloroplast. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place. They are found in the leaves of plants. Because they use chlorophyll, the are also green.

Other parts of a cell: (4, 9,11.15, 16, 17)

Both plant and animal cells also have similar organelles.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): There are two types: smooth endoplasmic reticulum(SER); and rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER). The SER acts like a storage unit for lipids and steroids. They also help in the production as well. RER is a pckaging and synthesis area. It is rough because they have ribosomes on them.

Ribosomes: Ribosomes are small organelles in the cell that are partly made up of rRNA or ribosomal RNA. They play an important role in protein synthesis. They help translate the DNA code that the mRNA transcribed to determine what type of protein will be formed.

Golgi Apparatus: Also known as the golgi complex, is an organelle in the cell that serves as a sorting and packaging area. It collects simple molecules and packages them into more complex molecules which would be stored if the cell would need it, or it will be sent out of the cell. These complex molecules are packed into vesicles. A transition vesicle is made from the protein in the ER is transported to the golgi apparatus, which then processes its contents. It then releases a secretory vesicle, that is then brought to the cell membrane.

Centrioles: Centrioles are small, cylinder-shaped organelles that aid in cell division. They are made up of the protein, tubulin. These centrioles produce spindles or spindle fibers that pull on the chromosomes during cell division and split them up.
