Answer:
The xylem is located in the root, stem and the leaves of a plant.
The xylem contains dead cells arranged end-to-end forming continuous vessels. They have a hollow central space (lumen) through which water passes. They walls contain lignin.
The xylem carries water and minerals, up from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Answer: the membrane channel
Explanation:
In passive diffusion, the small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer seen in blue. This layer acts as a semi-permeable or selectively permeable membrane; its hydrophilic heads are attracted to water (seen facing outwards) while its water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.
Thus the water will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, until the system reaches a steady state called equilibrium- after this, there will be no net movement of water. Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.
The dialysis tubing mimics a semi permeable membrane; it only allows water and small molecules of iodine to cross into the bag containing starch. The tubing is impermeable to starch; these large molecules require the aid of protein omplexes called membrane channels, in order to move across the membrane and against the concentration gradient.
Answer:
Placebo, Is used to describe a substance given in clinical trial that does not contain the drug.
Explanation:
- Clinical trials are done to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug in treating a particular medical symptom or disease.
- In such case a placebo is used as a control in the experiment.
- A placebo contains all the components as the medicine except for the drug that is being tested.
- A placebo is given to one group of patients having the symptoms for which the drug is tested while another group of patients with same symptoms are given the drug.
- If the group that was given the drug show symptoms of cure while the group that was given placebo does not show changes. Then the drug is said to be effective.
Answer:
The oil produced in United States is light and low sulfur content and they do not have proper processing facilities, hence purchase it from other countries.
Explanation:
About 9.93 million barrels per day U.S purchase oil from 86 countries. Because the crude oil present is not homogeneous in nature. It is very light in nature with low sulfur content or may be high,this particular factor depends upon the method of the refining. Most of the oil are being exported by the Saudi Arabia and then comes Russia followed by Iraq. Despite the collapse in price, U.S. dependence on foreign oil should continue to decrease.
