List The properties of S waves and P waves

Biology
1 answer:
galina1969 [7]3 years ago
7 0
S waves are slower than P waves and they can only travel through solid rock. S waves move the particles it pushes through up and down or side to side (perpendicular to the motion of the S waves energy).

Why are so many starch grains found in the cortex?
rosijanka [135]

There are many grains of starch in the cortex because it represents the reserve food material of plants.

This source of food material is consumed during plant metabolism, as food when plants are under stress, or as an energy source in seed germination and early seedling stages.

The cortex, in plants, is a vascular tissue responsible for the transport of food (processed sap) from the leaves to the rest of the plant .

Starch grains are the most common solid particles that plant cells develop within plastids.

Assimilation starch is a temporary product of photosynthesis and is formed in chloroplasts, while reserve starch is formed in amyloplasts, which are contained in parenchymal cells of the cortex, in vascular tissues of stems and roots, in the pith of stems, in fruits, leaves, fleshy cotyledons and in modified stems, such as tubers and rhizomes.

Starch is the main energy and carbon reserve in plants, supplying the energy and carbon skeletons necessary for the plant's metabolism during periods of darkness, when photosynthesis is inactive.

Therefore, we can conclude that starch grains (ergasstic substances) are found in abundance in the cortex because it represents a reserve of essential molecules for the functioning and maintenance of the cellular structure.

1,why Dna coiled to histone protien 2,what is difference bewteen co-factor and prosthetic group 3,why child get mitrochondrion f
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

DNA coiled to Histone protein.

Explanation:

1) DNA wrap itself around the histone protein due to the negative charge on the histone, that packed DNA tightly so that it can't be used in protein synthesis.

2) Prosthetic groups are itself co-factors that bind tightly to enzymes or proteins. they can be organic or metallic ions and attached to proteins by covalent bond.

3) The transfer of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from mother to  her offspring is known as  maternal inheritance. only female can transmit  mtDNA beacuse, it can be transmitted through female eggs only. One can inherit mtDNA from exclusively their mother.

Identify whether each circumstance provided will promote an increase or decrease in blood pressure
pashok25 [27]
Circumstance <span>that cause an increase in Blood Pressure:
</span>
- increasing levels of aldosterone ((influences the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidneys. This will indirectly influence the blood pressure since the volume of blood will change)

<span>- vasoconstriction ( blood vessels increase their contraction, which equals to more pressure)
</span>
-increased release of renin (Converts angiotensinogen, secreted in the liver, into angiotensin I).
- increased activity of Angiotensin-converting enzyme ( this enzyme converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II increasing vasoconstriction).

Circumstances that cause<span> a Decrease in Blood Pressure:
</span>
<span>- decreased sodium reabsorption ( by decreasing sodium, the amount of water will also decrease or , in other words,will be excreted. Less water, will decrease volume of blood and that means less blood pressure)
</span>
- vasodilation (The smooth muscle in the <span>blood vessels decrease their contraction, which equals to less pressure)
</span>
- declining levels of ADH(ADH <span>is produced in the hypothalamus and stimulates vasoconstriction plus it promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys. To reduce blood pressure, is important to have ADH levels reduced)</span>
