Answer:

Tropism can be defined as a stimulant, with respect to it plant respond to it's external environment. Tropism includes light, water, touch and gravity. The phototropism refers to the movement of plant with respect to the light stimulus. Shoot or stem part of the plant shows positive phototropism because it grows and move in the direction of sunlight, whereas the root shows negative phototropism as it grows against the sunlight.

Yes, plants that live in the desert are expected to show more pronounced phototropism than the forest dwelling plants.This is  because in a desert habitat the tree population is expected to be limited, and the plants are directly exposed to sun. The stem or shoot will be erect. But in forest dwelling plants the plants will be growing in shade of trees, will receive very low amount of sunlight. The shoots may not be erect, instead will be tilted. Hence, in desert plants the phototropism will be more prominent.

You are trying to program E. coli bacteria to generate N-acylethanolamide, lipids that have been found to help suppress appetite
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The transgene, which codes for N-acylethanolamide, will also need to have a transcription initiation site for RNA polymerase and a selectable marker (reporter gene) that would fluoresce to let you know the insertion was successful. You would also need a plasmid, a small circular piece of bacterial DNA. Then you would hunt for restriction enzymes that would cut the plasmid once and also cut the transgene out from its host.

Explanation:

A transgene can be defiend as a gene (in this case, the N-acylethanolamide gene) which has been transferred by using genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. The RNA polymerase is an enzyme required to copy a DNA sequence (e.g., a gene) into an RNA sequence, during transcription. RNA polymerases bind to specific DNA sequences called transcription initiation sites on the DNA template, and this binding triggers the initiation of the transcription. A plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule separated from chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently of the chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are widely used in genetic engineering to clone/transfer/manipulate transgenes. During transgenesis, the plasmid is cut with a specific restriction enzyme in order to ligate the transgene of interest into the plasmid. Finally, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene is a selectable marker (i.e., a reporter gene) that indicates which cells were successfully modified because its expression can be detected without any substrates.

What role do stomata play in homeostasis
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Homeostasis. Angiosperms or flowering plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata (opening in the underside of a leaf that allows carbon dioxide to diffuse into and out of the leaf) open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.

I hope this is the right answer and I hope it helped.

How do muscles move blood through the circulatory system​
Andreyy89
Skeletal muscles play a key role in the movement of blood around the body. Veins embedded within a muscle are compressed during contraction of that muscle, causing an increase in blood pressure due to the presence of one-way valves within the veins.
