The “Food Factories” in plant cells are called

1 answer:

In most plants, the leaves are the main food factories. They capture the sun's energy with the help of chlorophyll in the leaf cells. The chlorophyll traps and packages the energy from the light of the sun in a process called photosynthesis. Leaves usually have a large surface so they can collect the most sunlight.

Which of these scientists is best known for his idea that characteristics an individual gains in its lifetime could be passed on

Anna [14]

This was Lamarck's idea. Here's an example: Suppose giraffes originally had short necks that they stretched to reach high-up leaves in the trees. This continuous stretching of the neck was passed onto offspring, who as a result had slightly longer necks. This continued for multiple generations until we get today's long-necked giraffe. Lamarck was on to something (that something being evolution by natural selection, which Darwin discovered), but his theory wasn't completely correct since organisms can only pass on genes (segments of DNA that code for a characteristic or function) to their offspring. Since "stretching" would not code into DNA, it wouldn't be passed onto offspring, proving Lamarck's theory incorrect.

What are the differences in the way lipids are found or function in plants and animals?

GalinKa [24]

Lipids are stored as triacylglycerols and waxes on both animals and plants

<h3>What is lipids ?</h3>

Lipid can be described as an organic compound that is not soluble in water. lipid is an essential component that is needed for proper functionality in both plants and animals.

In plants, lipids help provide lots of energy that is needed for different metabolic processes that goes on in the plant. Lipids also help fight off pathogens in plants

In animals, lipids also serve as an energy source and they help in the regulation of the different hormones present in the body. Lipid also help signal important molecules when they are required in the body and they also help in the proper digestion of food molecules.
