Distance and shielding can protect a person from X Ray radiation. An example could be how X Ray technicians go into a room that’s away from you whenever you get an x ray at a hospital. Distance is effective because it can reduce exposure. Hope this helped!

Plants participate in both short- and long-distance signaling. Explain how nerve cells show these two functions, as well. (3 poi

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Nerve cells release chemical signals into synapses between them (short distance). They also transverse their lengths with an electrical signal that can result in signal travel along a series of cells (long distance).

Explanation:

Nerve cells release neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft which are capable of affecting nearby cells such as other nerve cells and muscle cells. Neurotransmitter molecules include, among others, serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine and histamine. Moreover, the synaptic cleft is the space that separates a neuron cell and its target cell. On the other hand, neurons transmit signals through electrical impulses. Electrical impulses travel long distances in the body carried by axons of the nerves. Thus, nerve impulses connect the brain and spinal cord and they carry signals to different parts of the body.

Dodder is a parasitic plant, which has roots for support and absorption of nutrients from the host plant. Determine what kind of

skad [1K]

The original roots of dodder usually die. As a parasitic plant that cannot produce its own chlorophyll, it breaks away from its root system as the roots has no apparent root cap nor apical meristems. Hence the "root" is not performing its very function of water and nutrient uptake. It then produces haustoria, a root-shaped fungi which penetrates host plant which makes the dodder parasitic.

How do these materials provide the plant with energy

Papessa [141]

Photosynthesis is a natural process by which trees and plants use energy from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air to make the food they need to live and grow. At the same time, the leaves or needles absorb carbon dioxide from the air. These raw materials flow to plant cells containing chlorophyll.
