How are vascular and non-vascular plants different, and how do each of them work through osmosis?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vascular plants have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants do not have these tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and substances.

Vascular plants are said to have a true stem, leaves, and roots due to the presence of vascular tissues. Non-vascular plants do not have true roots, stems, or leaves and the tissues present are the least specialized forms of tissue. Some examples of vascular plants include maize, mustard, rose, cycad, ferns, clubmosses, grasses. Some examples of non-vascular plants include moss, algae, liverwort, and hornwort.

How vascular plants work through osmosis

The xylem of vascular plants consists of dead cells placed end to end that form tunnels through which water and minerals move upward from the roots to the rest of the plant. Through the xylem vessels, water enters and leaves cells through osmosis.

How non vascular plants work through osmosis

Because non vascular plants do not have the xylem and phloem ystem, they absorb water right into their cells through their leaves when it rains or when dew falls. Internal cells get their water by passive osmosis. While, they use rhizoids to transport nutrients and minerals.

Long legs (L) in racing horses is dominant to short legs (l). Good muscle tone (G) is dominant to weak muscle tone (g). Determin
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Long leg (L) is dominant over short leg (l) and Good muscles (G) is dominant over weak muscles (g).

Heterozygous long leg, weak muscle = Llgg

Heterozygous long leg, strong muscle = LlGg

       Llgg    x    LlGg

Offspring:

2 LLGg - Long leg, strong muscle

4 LlGg -  Long leg, strong muscle

2 LLgg - Long leg, weak muscle

4 Llgg - long leg, weak muscle

2 llGg - short leg, strong muscle

2 llgg - short leg, weak muscle

Ratio of offspring with long leg and strong muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with long leg and weak muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and strong muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and weak muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

Which state of matter consists of ionized particles? solid liquid gas plasma
Radda [10]

The correct answer is option D, Plasma

Plasma is the condition where a hot gas is ionized. It consists of equal numbers of positive and negative ions. It is an electrically conducting environment which is considered as the fourth state of matter. Plasma gases are affected by electric and magnetic waves as compared to the neutral gases (which remain unaffected by electric and magnetic wave) due to the presence of negative and positive ions.
