Answer:The term "disease" refers to conditions that impair normal tissue function. For example, cystic fibrosis, atherosclerosis, and measles are all considered diseases. However, there are fundamentally different causes for each of these diseases. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is due to a specific genotype that results in impaired transport of chloride ions across cell membranes, leading to the production of abnormally thick mucus. Thus, CF is most accurately called a genetic or metabolic disease. Atherosclerosis, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes, may be considered a disease of aging, because it typically becomes a problem later in life after plaques of cholesterol have built up and partially blocked arteries. In contrast, measles is an infectious disease because it occurs when an individual contracts an outside agent, the measles virus. An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by agents whose activities harm the host's tissues (that is, they cause disease) and can be transmitted to other individuals (that is, they are infectious).

For starters, the left image is a plant cell and the right image is an animal cell.

The black dots in both images would be drawn to the nucleus. All cells have nuclei. The black oval in the right image would be drawn to the cell membrane. Only animal cells have these. The rectangle with a gap would be drawn to the cell wall. Only plant cells have cell walls. The space surrounding the nucleus in both cells would be drawn to cytoplasm. All cells have cytoplasm. The dotted circles would be drawn to chloroplast. Only plant cells have these.

Hope I could help!

Plant Root and Shoot System. Plants have two Organ Systems: the shoot system and the root system. Stems have many jobs, including supporting the plant; acting like the plant's plumbing system, conducting water and nutrients from the roots and food in the form of sugar (glucose) made in the leaves to other plant parts.
