Answer:

Conjugation is the process by which one bacterium transfers genetic material to another through direct contact. During conjugation, one bacterium serves as the donor of the genetic material, and the other serves as the recipient

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential  to the region of low water potential through  a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.

In this present scenario  water molecules  pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.

If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)

However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney  ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT  and CT, via  anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Herbicides are a broad category of pesticides that are used to get rid of undesirable plants like weeds and grasses that hinder the development and productivity of desired agricultural crops. Both 2,4-D and 2,4,5T are also known as 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and

  • Herbicides like 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T are also referred to as auxin-type herbicides or plant growth regulators. Auxins are hormones that affect cell division and elongation in order to control cell growth.
  • Auxins are required by plant cells in the proper concentration for growth and development. If auxin levels are too low, plant growth is not promoted at all, and if levels are too high, plant growth is excessively stimulated.
  • Most grasses are not killed by 2,4-D and 2,4,5 T, but broadleaf weeds are. It moves to the plant's meristems after being absorbed through the leaves.
  • These herbicides affect the tissues' cells, causing them to continually divide and proliferate. The plant finally dies as a result of this unchecked, unsustainable growth, which also causes stem curling and withering of the leaves.

Thus, by promoting cell division, these compounds act as herbicides.
