When plants and animals die, they become food for decomposers like bacteria, fungi and earthworms. Decomposers or saprotrophs recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients like carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water.

When a mustard plant seedling is transferred to an environment with higher levels of carbon dioxide, the new leaves have a lower

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

When a mustard plant seedling is transferred to an environment with higher levels of carbon dioxide, the new leaves have a lower stomata-to-surface-area ratio, it is because the concentration of carbondioxide is high in the surrounding so the plant produce small leaves having less number of stomata. If the concentration of carbondioxide is lower so big leaves are produced having maximum number of stomata.

In Experiment 5, how did the shape of the epidermal cells in the outer skin surface slide compare to the shape of the epidermal

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The cells in the outer skin surface appeared flat, whereas the cells in the cross section were not flat.

Explanation:

The epidermis is made up of five cell layers, which have different functions: Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.

Stratum basale is the innermost germinative, single, basal layer of the epidermis composed of basal cuboidal-shaped cells. These cells are the precursor of keratinocytes, this is why this layer is also called germinativum. In this basal layer, there are also Merkel cells as well as melanocytes.

Stratum spinosum refers to the keratinocytes which produce keratin.

Stratum granulosum, this is the layer where keratinization begins. Cells produce hard granules that change to keratin and lipids as they ascend.

Stratum lucidum is conformed of densely compressed cells, which begins to flatten and appear indistinguishable between each other.

Stratum corneum is the most external layer, composed of dead, flattened cells which are released regularly in a process known as desquamation.
