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.

A is a DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds and begins the process of transcription. A is a DNA sequence that binds regulator
WARRIOR [948]

<u>Answer:</u>

A is a DNA sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

DNA contains genes which is a particular segment of DNA. A gene usually has regulatory regions and a structural region.

Promoter: The regulatory region located to the 5 prime end of coding strand of the gene which is called as promoter that controls the binding RNA Polymerase during transcription.

The Terminator is the other regulatory region, located to the 3 prime end of coding strand of the gene. The terminator region causes RNA polymerase to stop transcription.

Structural region is the region present between the promoter and terminator.

Answer of the question is:

A is a DNA sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.

Explain how a starfish's body plan and anatomy enables invertebrate to perform the essential functions it needs to survive.
Vladimir [108]
Invertebrates are known as creatures that do not have backbones. Even though these creatures do not have backbones, they have been uniquely designed in order to survive. According to studies, most of these creatures are found in the sea and one of them is the Star Fish or also called as the Sea Star. Starfish's functions and ability to survive is not the same like other animals which make them unique in a different way. The starfish's body is hard and bony for protection purposes and they exist in a variety of colors for camouflage. Their essential functions in order to survive are as follows:
-The Ability to Regenerate: Starfishes have the ability to grow damaged and lost limbs or even their entire body as long as the center part is still present and intact. And this is their way of reproduction as well.
-Having Tube Feet: Its arms are covered with a suction-like tiny cups of tube feet. This unique design of the starfishes enables them to move and secure themselves, especially on rocks and ocean floors.
-Unique Feeding Ability: Sea Stars don't have mouths nor teeth to ingest food. Rather, these creatures have the ability to push open or turn their stomachs out and digest its food. After digestion, their stomachs retract back to their bodies. 
-Vascular System: How starfishes survive does not rely on having hearts, brains and blood. Rather, they use the seawater. The seawater serves as the one the circulates inside the sea stars' bodies and this is when nutrients and oxygen are being transported and absorbed.
