When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.

Explanation:

To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.

In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.

According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.

How is it possible for two proteins in the same cell to perform different functions
DedPeter [7]

Enzymes are regulated by more than the binding of small molecules. A second method that is used all the time by eucaryotic cells to regulate a protein's function is the covalent addition of a phosphate group to one of its amino acid side chains. These phosphorylation events can affect the protein in two important ways.
