The cell surface membranes of cells of flower, though semi-permeable, allows water to pass through cell via aqua proteins embedded in the membrane.
This is true since water goes from inside of cell to the extracellular environment when water potential inside the cell is higher than water potential outside the cell via process of osmosis (water goes from an area of high water potential down a concentration gradient to an area of low water potential). Cells in the flower became plasmolysed (cell surface membranes tear away from the cell walls) as the volume of water in cell decreases.

Hope this helps! :)

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the flow of blood through the heart:__________
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.

Explanation:

This is the the only artery that transports deoxygented blood in mammals. specifically it carry deoxgenated blood from the the atria  to the pulmonary circulation. That is to the lungs  for the exchange of the C02 in the deoxygenated blood with oxygen  in the lungs.

The  blood thus become oxygenated,and therefore return through the pulmonary veins to the left ventricle.

From the left ventricle ,through ventricular systole,blood is empty into the aorta through the aortic valves into the  systemic circulation.

Although,they carry blood away from the heart,but the blood is de oxygenated instead of the usual oxygenated by arteries,They are still regarded as arteries  because of convey of blood away from the heart,a typical role of arteries

Describe how the ocean plays a role in stabilizing Earth's weather conditions.
Sindrei [870]
<span>The ocean affects the earth’s climate by utilizing the sun’s energy.  Based on the amount of the Sun’s energy that is absorbed by the ocean, multiple things can happen. For example in California, the sun heats the Pacific Ocean which heats the winds, which brings the warm climate to the state. Also, the ocean’s play a major role in the water cycle. The amount of precipitation falling on an area can affect its weather and climate. hope this helps!!!! </span>
