In an experiment, researchers compared the growth of two different plants, plant X and plant Y. The researchers maintained the p

lants under nearly identical conditions and observed that plant X grew faster than plant Y. The researchers also observed that the inner mitochondrial membranes of plant X had more folds than did those of plant Y. Which of the following conclusions about increasing the number of folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane is best supported by the results of the experiment
A.It increases the efficiency of photosynthesis, which results in faster cell growth.
B.It increases the surface area available for ATP production, which results in faster cell growth.
C.It increases the amount of space available for storing cellular wastes, which results in faster cell growth.
D.It increases the rate of protein transport to the plasma membrane, which results in faster cell growth.

Answer:

<u>B.It increases the surface area available for ATP production, which results in faster cell growth.</u>

Explanation:

The electron chain reaction in the mitochondria occur at the inner mitochondrial membrane, So greater the folding of inner membrane of mitochondria that is also known as cristea, greater would be ATP Production.

First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst.

Match the following plant types with their descriptions. 1. hydrophytes aquatic plants 2. mesophytes plants with very dry habita
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Plant types matched with their descriptions

  1. Hydrophytes - Aquatic plants
  2. Mesophytes  - Plants with habitats that are neither too wet nor too dry  
  3. Xerophytes - Plants with very dry habitats

Hydrophytes are aquatic plants that may be free floating, fully submerged or partly submerged (amphibious) in water. The vascular tissue of hydrophytes is very poorly developed. Examples of hydrophytes are Ottelia, Sagittaria and Utricularia.

Mesophytes are plants that live in habitats that have a moderate supply of water (neither too wet nor too dry. Mesophytes are usually large, fast growing, and have well developed roots and leaves. Examples of mesophytes are clover and maize (corn).

Xerophytes are plants that are able to thrive with very dry habitats where the available soil water is low. Examples of xerophytes are Acacia and Carthamus.

Stacy bought two vegetables one of them is scaly with a few buds and the other has hairy structures which parts of the vegetable
Vilka [71]
This is from another brainly answer it's the same questions but it should be the correct answer because it's a certified answer. Hope this helps!

Tuber is thick underground stem, such as potato for example. It usually has buds from which new plants could grow. So, the first part of Stacy's vegetable is definitely turbous stem. The other part must be root, because it has hairy structures. These hair-like structures have function in <span>the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.</span>
