A banyan, also spelled "banian",[1]<span> is a </span>fig<span> that begins its life as an </span>epiphyte,[2]<span> i. e. a plant that grows on another plant, when its </span>seed<span> germinates in a crack or crevice of a host tree or human edifice. "Banyan" often specifically denominates </span>Ficus benghalensis<span> (the "Indian banyan"), which is the </span>national tree<span> of the </span>Republic of India,[3]<span> though the name also has been generalized to denominate all figs that share a common life cycle and used </span>systematically<span> in </span>taxonomy<span> to denominate the </span>subgenus Urostigma.<span>[4]</span>Aerial roots<span> are roots above the ground. They are almost always </span>adventitious<span>. They are found in diverse plant species, including </span>epiphytes<span> such as </span>orchids<span>, tropical coastal swamp trees such as </span>mangroves<span>, the resourceful </span>banyan<span> trees, the warm-temperate rainforest rātā (</span>Metrosideros robusta) and pōhutukawa (M. excelsa<span>) trees of </span>New Zealand<span> and </span>vines<span> such as Common Ivy (</span>Hedera helix<span>) and </span>poison ivy<span> (</span>Toxicodendron radicans<span>).

if a cell increases the activity of its actin severing proteins, will it lead in the short term to more or less actin polymer ma
marta [7]

More polymer will form if the concentration of free actin monomers is higher than the Cc at both the plus and minus ends.

Less polymer will form if the concentration of free actin monomers is lower than the Cc at both the plus and minus ends.

Actin polymerization encourages FAK and Src to activate small G proteins by signalling to GEFs and GTPases (e.g., Rho and Rac). The actomyosin network is then forced to develop as a result of G proteins' induction of cytoskeleton-regulating proteins.

What stops cells from forming actin polymers?

Actin monomer is sequestered by monomer-binding proteins, reducing its availability for polymerization. As a result, actin does not polymerize when monomer-binding proteins are present in stoichiometric levels.

Q. If a cell increases the activity of its actin severing proteins, will it lead in the short term to MORE or LESS actin polymer mass? Chose the most accurate answer.

Increased severing activity will result in LESS polymer under any conditions.

Increased severing activity will result in NO CHANGE in the total amount of polymer under any conditions. It simply results in a larger number of smaller filaments.

Increased severing activity will result in MORE polymer under any conditions.

If the concentration of free actin monomers is below the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then MORE polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is above the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then LESS polymer will result.

If the concentration of free actin monomers is above the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then MORE polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is below the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then LESS polymer will result.

What causes antibiotic resistance?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.

What is the role of stomata in transpiration
Alja [10]

Answer:

The small opening present on the epidermis which helps with exchange of gasses and transpiration is called stomata. Since most of the water (90%) is lost through stomata it regulates the level of excess water in the plant.
