5 0

Explanation:

possible benefits of genetic engineering include:

More nutritious food

Tastier food

Disease- and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (such as water and fertilizer)

Less use of pesticides

Increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life

Faster growing plants and animals

Food with more desirable traits, such as potatoes that produce less of a cancer-causing substance when fried

Medicinal foods that could be used as vaccines or other medicines

Vascular plants that have Seeds surrounded by Fruit are called
Scorpion4ik [409]

Vascular plants that have seeds surrounded by fruit are called as Angiosperms.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Plants that have specialized vascular tissues that carry materials from one part of the plant to another is a vascular plant. The two types of vascular tissue, xylem and phloem, help in transportation of water, minerals, and the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant. Two types of vascular plants that produce seeds are : Gymnosperms and Angiosperms.

Gymnosperms are plants whose seeds are not enclosed by a fruit. The seeds are unenclosed or present on the surface or leaves. These seed are configured as cones. E.g: Cedar, pine

Angiosperms are fruit-bearing flowering plants with their seeds enclosed inside a fruit or flower. E.g: Apple, Eggplant

How do abiotic factors affect organisms in an ecosystem?
ddd [48]
A lot of abiotic factors are necessary to the ecosystem, such as temperature, water, sunlight ect. ect.
Without these factors, certain animal species would not be able to prosper, and once adapted living organisms, would fail to get needed resources.
There can also be a negative affect.
Abiotic factors directly affect how organisms grow and survive. 
Hope it helps :)

Match the following terms and definitions.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>1. Oblong cells with unevenly thickened walls for support in young stems  →</em>

<em>Collenchyma </em><em>.</em>

<em>2. a waxy substance covering most surface areas of plants; helps to retain water  → </em><em>Cuticle</em><em>. </em>

<em>3. The youthful, undifferentiated cells of root and shoot tips and other plant parts that produce new cells for growth  → </em><em>Meristem </em><em>.</em>

<em>4. The most common plant cell, found in practically all parts of the plant body; important for food production, food storage, lateral transport, and other life processes; an almost round cell in some tissues  → </em><em>Parenchyma</em><em> .</em>

<em>5. Dermal layer made of dead cork cells  → </em><em>Periderm</em><em> .</em>

<em>6. Tiny holes in a cell wall which allow the passage of chemicals between cells  → </em><em>Plasmodesmata</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<em>This all refers to tissues found in plant organisms.</em>

  • In plants, the colenchyma is a supporting tissue, composed mainly of elongated, irregularly walled living cells with a large amount of cellulose. Their composition and the way they are arranged - with longitudinal interlacing - give the tissue strength and resistance. It represents one of the three basic tissues of plants.
  • Cuticles of plant tissue are formed by an oily secretion from the epidermal cells, forming a waxy, impermeable and protective layer, which prevents the entry of foreign organisms and reduces the loss of water from the plant. The cuticles are mainly composed of cutin molecules associated with wax.
  • Meristematic tissue represents a group of undifferentiated cells with great capacity to multiply, differentiate and provide growth and development to a plant. It is a tissue with unlimited growth capacity, which allows the plant to always replace the damaged tissue and grow indefinitely.
  • Parenchyma of plant organisms are tissues that are found in most of these organisms, allowing multiple functions, such as the drying of substances, storage and photosynthesis. The parenchyma is generally formed by thin-walled living cells that can adapt to any vital function of plants.
  • Periderm constitutes the outer coating of a plant or bark, functionally replacing the epidermis. This tissue is located after the secondary phloem, and is composed of cork, specifically phellem, phellogen and phelloderm.
  • Plasmodesmata are a type of microscopic channel that crosses the plant wall, being a link for intercellular communication, as well as the transport of nutrients.
