The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.

bezimeni [28]

A food establishment  is an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, vends, delivers or otherwise produces food for human consumption. Food that is offered in food establishments should come from local-approved food sources. They can use produce that they grow themselves or from agricultural producers that should be licensed and are responsible to assure that their produce is safe (complying applicable laws). The producer has to have a United States Department of Agriculture inspected plant. Food establishments should obtain produce from those who have been certified in Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices.

Define transpiration:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
