I don't understand the first part of the question, but I understand the second part of the question. Water is cohesive (water molecules stick to other water molecules), adhesive (water molecules stick to other objects), water is covalently bonded, water is polar, and water can have a charge. Hope this helps! :)

Why rhizoids not called roots?

garik1379 [7]

Most plants have roots, but there are some
exceptions. The exceptions are bryophytes
and the groups of green algae that are
classified as plants. Bryophytes have rootlike
structures called rhizoids for absorbing
water, but because rhizoids lack vascular
tissue they are not considered roots.

If a drug that was an inhibitor of PP1 activity was ingested by a person

Reptile [31]

The correct answer is: Glycogen phosphorylase would remain phosphorylated and retain some activity.

Glycogen phosphorylase is directly involved in the regulation of glucose levels since it is a glucose sensor in liver cells: when glucose levels are low, phosphorylase is active and it has PP1 bound to it (phosphatase activity of PP1 is prevented). Therefore, there phosphorylase a will accelerate glycogen breakdown.
