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.

When the two waves meet, there are two possibilities:

1.If the waves were both in phase and moving in the same direction, then, the amplitude will double, this is called constructive interference.
2. If the two waves were exactly out of phase, then they will try to move the water surface in all directions, thus, no movement and the waves cancel out. This is called destructive interference.

When plants use sunlight to make food, the energy of sunlight is a what?
svet-max [94.6K]

Plants use energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide from what they get into an energy-rich sugar called glucose. This process is called photosynthesis, which means “making things with light”.  In photosynthesis, the energy in light is absorbed by photopigments.

Scientific study of the population cycles of the snowshoe hare and its predator, the lynx, has revealed that
ladessa [460]
This scientific study revealed that predation is the dominant factor affecting prey population on cycling. Population cycles is the feature where populations rise and fall over a predictable period of time. For example there are some species where population numbers have reasonably predictable patterns of change. From the study depicted in the question; when snowshoe hares are scarce, many lynx leave their home range in search of food. An increased predation of the hare due to high populations of lynx and other predators increases the decline in the hare population.

Select the reasons why the term 'prokaryote' can be problematic.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

__ It implies that prokaryotes existed before eukaryotes, and

__ It implies that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes.

Explanation:

The prefix pro- can mean "before". By using the term prokaryote one can tend to think that procaryotes preceded eukaryotes.

Preceed as existed before them, or as an evolutionary point of view.
