Answer:
stores extra food
is responsible for photosynthesis
supports the plant
makes up the majority of a plant
Explanation:
Ground tissues are one of the three types of plant tissues (others being dermal and vascular). They are composed of cells as follows: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. These three cells that make up the ground tissues perform different functions in the plant cell.
- Parenchyma functions in photosynthesis and storage of extra food (carbohydrates) in the cell.
- Collenchyma functions in the support of young regions of the plant
- Sclerenchyma, which has the thickest cell wall, functions mainly in the strengthening/support of the plant cell.
Also, among the three tissue types in a plant, ground tissues make up majority of the plant cell.
Answer: Homeostasis
Explanation: One way that a cell maintains homeostasis is by controlling the movement of substances across the cell membrane. The lipid bilayer is selectively permeable to small, nonpolar substances. Proteins in the cell membrane include cell-surface markers, receptor proteins, enzymes, and transport proteins.
Answer:
A scientist's response to the increase in food poisoning sick patients should be examining the type and source within the foods consumed.
Explanation:
Food poisoning involves the effects that decomposed or contaminated food can have on a group of people who eat it, and can cause illness in all or most individuals.
Although patients' symptoms should be treated and preventive education provided, the best course of action for a scientist is to investigate the cause.
The response of a scientist to the increase in food poisoning cases is to determine the type and source of food, as well as the nature of the alteration it has -decomposition, contamination, bacteria- in order to <u>eliminate the source and avoid new cases</u>.
- <em>The other options may be valid in the face of the appearance of food poisoning cases, but they are not the best procedure with which a scientist would respond. </em>
A squirrel stores food in a tree hole.
Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.
Explanation:
Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.
They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.
The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.
When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.
Examples:
- Kangaroo - Australia
- Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
- The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
- Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii
