Answer:

Explanation:

Phloem cells are conducting vessels that are found in vascular plant. They are used in the transport of photosynthate produce during photosynthesis from the source of production to other parts of the body.

It consist of sieve elements, which are the conducting vessel that aids transport of sugar round the body. They are very active before maturity at mature they are no longer in use.

Companion cells are used in replacement of sieve element at maturity, they function in metabolism together with the sieve tube Translocation is the transport or movement of sugar round the body.

Girdlings is the removal of the bark of a plant this can inhibit active transport of food.

Non-reducing sugar are monosacharrides such as glucose that are produce and transported round the body of the plant.

P-protein are found in the plants sap usually in large amount in the sieve elements.

Which of the following is not a true statement comparing exoskeletons and endoskeletons?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Exoskeletons provide less mechanical leverage.

Explanation:

There are two types of skeleton in living beings: the endoskeleton (which vertebrates possess, is lined with epithelial tissue and has bones and cartilage) and the exoskeleton, a skeletal structure that is located outside the body of the living being. , is an external skeleton. They are common in invertebrate animals, which have no internal bone structure.

The exoskeleton is a tough but flexible outer layer, not formed by bones, unlike the vertebrate endoskeleton. Its function is mechanical, chemical and biological protection, avoid excessive water loss, muscle support and serves as a connecting point for legs, wings and other appendages. However, this type of skeleton provides less mechanical leverage.

On the other hand, the endoskeleton is the name given to the internal skeleton, which is inside the body. This body structure is mainly seen in vertebrate animals and has the function of supporting and moving the body, as well as protecting some internal organs. Unlike exoskeleton, the endoskeleton provides more mechanical leverage.
