Biology

Reika [66]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Double fertilization is a significant feature in angiosperms or flowering plants. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The pollen grains carrying the sperm cells from a flower land on the stigma which is a <em>component of the female reproductive part of a flower.</em> The pollen grain contains the sperms and once the pollen lands on the stigma it grows pollen tub into the ovary through the style which is a tube connecting<em> stigma to ovary. </em>

Ovary contains ovule which contains egg cell as well as two polar nuclei and all these are haploid.  The sperm in the pollen is also haploid. On the release of two sperm cells, one sperm fuses with the egg cell and the other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei which results in the <em>formation of a diploid zygote</em> which is diploid and a triploid cell.

The diploid zygote develops into the embryo after cell division and the triploid cell develops into endosperm that provides nourishment to the embryo.  Thus double fertilization becomes <em>significant in flowering plants. </em>

Classify each statement based on whether it describes prokaryotes only, eukaryotes only, or can describe both prokaryotes and eu
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

unicellular - both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

contain mitochondrion - eukaryotes only

are generally less than 2 pm - Prokaryotes only

multicellular - eukaryotes only

lack membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes only

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are generally unicellular, that is, they are made up of single cells only. However, there are unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes with some eukaryotes like humans and advanced plants having as many as millions of cells.

Prokaryotes generally lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplast and mitochondrion. Eukaryotes on the other hand have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.

When it comes to size, prokaryotes are generally small and microscopic while eukaryotes consist of both microscopic and macroscopic cells or organisms. However, prokaryotes are generally smaller than microscopic eukaryotes.

A newly discovered solar system is found 300 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 kilometer = 6.68 × 10^{-9} (<<<AU is in scientific notation here)

To convert 300 billion kilometer (3,000,000,000 km)  into AU you must multiply the kilometer by the equivalent of 1 km in AU (6.68 × 10^{-9})

3,000,000,000 × (6.68 × 10^{-9}) =  20.04 AU

Hope this helped!
