Answer:
1) pathway taken by water
water is absorbed from the soil, through the root hair cells and is transported by the xylem vessel up the stem to the leaf and/or flowers. From the leaf, some water is lost to the atmosphere as vapors escape out through the stoma present in the lower epidermal layer of the leaves.
2) water potential gradient
water potential refers to the concentration of water present. A gradient forms when there is a difference between the concentrations of water in two regions separated by a partially permeable membrane.
Hence, water moving down a water potential gradient means that it goes from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential.
3) There are tiny openings on the lower side of the leaves called as stomata (plural: stoma) that allow for gaseous exchange to occur. These openings are controlled by guard cells which are open during the day and close during the night.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
Answers:
A(n) operon is a stretch of DNA consisting of an operator, a promoter, and genes for a related set of proteins, usually making up an entire metabolic pathway.
The Gene of an operon is arranged sequentially after the promoter
A(n) promoter is a specific nucleotide sequence in DNA that binds RNA polymerase, positioning it to start transcribing RNA at the appropriate place.
A(n) regulatory gene codes for a protein, such as a repressor, that controls the transcription of another gene or group of genes.
Regulatory proteins bind to the operator to control expression of the operon.
A(n) repressor is a protein that inhibits gene transcription. In prokaryotes, this protein binds to the DNA in or near the promoter.
A(n) inducer is a specific small molecule that binds to a bacterial regulatory protein and changes its shape so that it cannot bind to an operator, thus switching an operon on.
Answer:
It represents an acceleration.
Explanation:
The sloping line shows that the speed of the object is changing. The object is either speeding up or slowing down. If the line slopes upward from left to right, this means the object is speeding up.
Answer:
Mass extinctions happen because of climate change, asteroid impacts, massive volcanic eruptions or a combination of these causes. One famous mass extinction event is the one that lead to the extinction of dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.
