Answer:

They are both made of one or more cells.

Explanation:

A plant and an animal are both living things. According to the Cell Theory, what we can conclude about these two very different organisms is that they are both made of one or more cells.

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves.

In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles and they include nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, etc.

Few seeds can be dispersed by more than one method of seed dispersal.’ Explain with suitable examples.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus.

Gravity: A good example of gravity dispersal is the marigold flower. When they are ready, these seeds drop to the ground.

Wind: There are two types of wind dispersal adaptations, the floaters, and the fliers:

(wind) Floaters: The common dandelion is a good example of this type of seed dispersal.

(wind) Fliers: Maple seeds grow in pairs, but when they are mature, they separate, and a strong wind can pull them from the stem

Ballistic: Some common examples of this type of dispersal are garden peas. When the cells grow older, the result is that the pods break open and twist. This twisting actions pops the seeds lose and pushes them away from the pod.

Water: Coconuts have a husk that surrounds the seed. This husk is very buoyant and a coconut seed can float across hundreds of miles of ocean before washing ashore on a new island to germinate and grow into a tree.

Animals: there are also two types of these, hitchhikers and edibles. Seeds that stick to the outside of animals, or are spread when they go out the other end after being eaten:

Hitchhikers: Some examples are cockleburs and foxtail.

Edibles: These seeds are surrounded by good tasting fruit, like apples and peaches.

lozanna [386]

Most bacteria live in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the bacteria. This means that the bacterial cell is constantly taking in water. The cell wall of a bacterium is a peptidoglycan polymer that is tightly cross-linked. This would therefore function to:_________-.

A. regulate the flow of most molecules into and out of the bacterial cell.

B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.

C. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from shrinking.

D. confirm a close relationship to plant cells that have a similar structure and live in hypotonic solutions.

E. make all bacteria fairly uniform in metabolic chemistry.

Answer:

B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.

Explanation:

When organisms are present in hypotonic surroundings, their cells that are in contact with the surroundings tend to gain water. Bacteria present in hypotonic solution would gain water as their cells are hypertonic than the surroundings. The entry of water would increase the volume of cytoplasm and could lead to the bursting of the cell. However, the presence of a cell wall made up of cross-linked peptidoglycan prevents the swelling of the bacterial cell and allow them to survive in hypotonic surroundings.
