<span>Muscle cells are uniquely adapted to contractile function due to three main things. FIrst, they have a large capacity for storage of readily available glycogen to use for work. Second, they contain the actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling structure to perform a contraction of a muscle fiber. Finally, each fiber has central nervous innervation to control contraction and relaxation of the muscle fibers.</span>
Answer:
- The independent variable is the concentration of sucralose present in the plant.
- The dependent variable is the growth rate of the plant.
Explanation:
The study designed through the steps of the scientific method would be done as follows:
Observation: Sucrose is a very important molecule for the development and growth of plants, based on which sucralose, which is formed from sucrose, can be important for the same factors.
Question: Can sucralose influence plant growth as well as sucrose?
Hypothesis: Sucralose may establish some influence on plant growth.
Experimentation: Select a number of seeds inoculated with sucralose molecules and select the same number of seeds that were not inoculated with anything. Provide the same type of soil and environmental factors so that seeds can grow in the same way. Weekly evaluate the growth of the plants generated by each seed for a certain period of time. After this period of time, measure the weight of the plants and their roots. Place the plant and root to dry in an oven and measure the weight of the plant and root once again.
Analysis of results: compare the average weekly growth of plants generated by inoculated seeds, with plants generated from uninoculated seeds. Compare the average weight of plants generated by seed inoculated before and after kiln-dried. Compare the weight average between plant roots generated by inoculated seeds before and after kiln-dried. Assess whether there was a significant difference between the means.
Conclusion: Using the data presented in the evaluation of the experiment, state whether the hypothesis developed provides true or false information.
<u><em>Note: it is important that the seeds are from the same species of plant.</em></u>
The correct answer is D. Accessory fruit
Explanation.
Fruits are structures that develop from the fertilized ovary of plants and that contain the seed of it, this includes simple, aggregate and multiple fruits. However, there is one type of fruits that do not develop from ovary but from other tissues that are usually near the ovary, these fruits are called accessory or pseudo fruits as they do not fit completely the definition of regular fruits, this includes fruits such as strawberries or pineapples that develop from tissues different to the ovary.
Sexual reproduction offers genetic variation, as the offspring are a combination of 2 sets of genes opposed to one. This ultimately leads to evolution and the adaption to changing environments :)
