Students testing the effects of solute concentration in soil on plant transpiration noticed a significant decrease in transpirat

ion when abscisic acid was used as the solute. Even at molar concentrations less than 0.2 M, transpiration seemed to stop almost completely.
a) Make a claim as to which structural and/or physiological component of transpiration is affected by the presence of abscisic acid.
b) Explain the reasoning that supports your claim.

Answer:

look in textbook - concept 29.6

Explanation:

Drought stress can also cause stomata to close. A hormone called abscisic acid (ABA) is produced in roots and leaves in response to water deficiency and signals guard cells to close stomata. This response reduces wilting but also restricts CO2 absorption, thereby slowing photosynthesis. ABA also directly inhibits photosynthesis. Water availability is so tied to plant productivity not because water is needed as a substrate in photosynthesis but because freely available water allows plants to keep stomata open and take up more CO2.

abscisic acid (ABA): A plant hormone that slows growth, often antagonizing the actions of growth hormones. Two of its many effects are to promote seed dormancy and facilitate drought tolerance.

Make a list of the potential benefits and harms that might arise from knowing your complete genome sequence.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance,  even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

fossils give scientists information regarding the living conditions and characteristics of organisms that were found on the eart
Serggg [28]
Hello Wtfiswrongwitmeh, using radiocarbon dating, or carbon dating, you can determine the age of an organic object from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes it contains. Therefore, if you take the fossils form the fossil record and determine how old they are, you can see how/if they evolved over time.

What caused the uplift of the Himalayas?
andrew11 [14]

The ongoing active collision of the Indian and Eurasian continental plates challenges one hypothesis for plate motion which relies on subduction. ... The collision and associated decrease in the rate of plate movement are interpreted to mark the beginning of the rapid uplift of the Himalayas.

Synovial joints have these features: an articular capsule, a joint cavity containing synovial fluid, articular cartilage, ligame
LenaWriter [7]
TRUE

These are commonly called as the joints in the body. They all have those features such;

articular capsule- a double layer of capsule that makes up the synovial joint,
joint cavity - this is a cavity that contains articular cartilage about 3 ml of synovial fluid.

synovial fluid= these acts as lubrincants and shock absorber

ligaments- reinforced the joints and it connects bone
