1) The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene DNA encoding it.
The amount of sediment would increase, but the size would shrink because of the sediment bumping into things.
Vacuole is the answer.
Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls.
The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.
When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.
In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.
Because it mitosis is creating identical copies of the cell this happens when we damage our cells and they need repairing but with meiosis this happens when creating sex cells so it is not creating identical copies it creating varients in the dna so you would have more varention in humans
