Answer:
Water is taken up through the xylem until it reaches a leaf, where it diffuses out into the surrounding mesophyll cells. Water diffuses from the mesophyll cells to the surrounding intercellular air spaces as water vapour, and finally, out of the leaf through the stomata.
Explanation:
___________
Answer:
C shrink
Explanation:
a hypertonic solution has more solutes than the intracellular environment, so water will leave the cell to try to achieve equilibrium. If enough water is lost, the cell will take on a wrinkled or shriveled appearance. In red blood cells this is called crenation and the surface of the cells take on a scalloped appearance. A high amount of water loss can be damaging or even fatal for a cell.
The correct answer is option C
Epinephrine leads to constriction in blood vessels and causes dilation of blood vessels in the skeletal muscles and the liver. Also being a stress hormone it increases blood pressure, heart rate, and glucose from energy stores and produces constriction in the smooth muscles.
The measure of variation which exists in the genetic makeup of any particular individual within a population is genetic variation. There are several key features and advantages associated with the genetic variation as it is an important factor causing evolution allowing natural selection thus leading to increase or decrease the frequency of alleles in a population.
The other factors causing genetic variation include random mating, mutation, random fertilization and recombination during meiosis between the homologous chromosomes.
The main advantage of genetic variation is it enables the individuals to adapt to environment as well as maintaining the survival of the population.
Based on the information on genetic variation we can conclude whether there is increase or decrease in the genetic variation of the population in the gene pool.
• A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras- Increase
• Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees- Decrease
• The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger- Increase
• A grass-fire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals- Decrease
Answer:
The human eye can detect up to 700 nanometers but the range adjacent to the visible spectrum is called the near infrared and the longer wavelength part is called far infrared. The region just below the visible in wavelength is called the near ultraviolet. Hence the visible part of electromagnetic spectrum lies in between ultraviolet and infrared.
