A student conducted an investigation to study phototropism in grasses. The only difference between the control group and the exp

erimental group was light conditions. The control group was provided full light, while the experimental group was shaded on one side. The diagrams show the average heights and positions of blades of grass in the investigation. Which statement best explains why the grass tips of the experimental group bent toward the light?
a) Water evaporated faster on the side of the plant having full light.
b) Light sensors in the grass tips stimulated a hormone in the shoot system.
c) The xylem in the root system absorbed more nutrients from the shaded side.
d) The side facing the light has a greater chance of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Phototropism refers to the movement of plants in response to light. The mechanism of phototropism involves the photoreceptors which respond to a different wavelength of light: the phytochromes to red light, cryptochromes to blue light and the phototropin to the UV light.

Plants integrate the signals obtained from these receptors and then activates the gene which will be involved in the phototropism.

The gene could be the production of the auxin hormone and the PIN proteins which helps in the distribution of the auxin in the plants. Due to the production of this hormone and its distribution in the shoot, the grass tips bend towards the light.

Thus, Option-A is correct.

Drag the labels to their appropriate locations on the concept map below to explore the links between antibiotic resistance, bina
Nataliya [291]
The correct sequence is:
a) Antibiotics: These antimicrobial drugs used to treat and prevent bacterial infections.

b) Antibiotic resistance: This sort of resistance occurs when bacteria are fully developed into the body and are able to defeat the drugs which designed to kill them. When certain bacteria become resistant, the antibiotics are unable to fight them, and hence they increase and affect the body.

c) Binary fission: Binary fission is a sort of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. It is found in unicellular eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.
d) Conjugation: It is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by the direct or bridge-like connection between cells.

e) Mutations: is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence resulting in a gene, such that the sequence differs from the sequence found in human beings.

f) DNA replication: is the biological process that occurs in all living organisms to produce two identical replicas of DNA from a DNA molecule.

g) Genetic recombination: During this process, offspring are produced with the combinations of traits that are different from the traits found in either parent.

h) Genetic variation: It’s the variation in the DNA sequence in each of human genomes, making every human being unique in terms of hair color, skin color or the shape of their faces.<span>

a student viewing a cell with a microscope observes a cell wall, a cell membrane, and a nucleus.the presence of these structures
vekshin1
My answer may not be precise, but I believe if you changed your question to "The presence of these structures indicates that the student is looking at a cell of what organism", then I would safely say a plant, because plants, unlike animals, have cell walls in addition to cell membranes. :) Hope this helps!
