explain why variagated plants accumulate less food than non variegated plants under similar conditions

Biology

1 answer:

Natalka [10]4 years ago

6 0

Explanation:

they have less chlorophyll in them. Thats the green stuff that turns sunlight into energy, via photosynthesis, so less 'green' means less ability to make food. As rate of chlorophyll in non-variegated leaf is more than that of variegated leaf,as more sunlight is trapped in case of non-variegated leaf

What are two characteristics of a scientific information source that may indicate the information is unreliable?

Ksivusya [100]

Scientific information refers to the classification, collection, dissemination, and retrieval of recorded knowledge treated both as a pure and as an applied science. The two features of a scientific information source, which may suggest that the information is not reliable are:

1. The information is based on data that are not peer-reviewed, that is, the information has not been reviewed by the experts in the field, or is not encouraged by an accord of experts in the field.

2. The references are not cited, that is, it not clear or not known that from where the information originated.

What is the equation for calculating the change in water potential? In other words, this equation allows you to determine which

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Ψ = ΨS + ΨP.

Explanation:

The movement of the water in a solution where is two different concentrations present can be determined by measuring the water potential (Ψ).

Water potential (Ψ) can be determined by the equation that depends on these two factors osmotic potential represent by ΨS and pressure potential represent by ΨP.

Ψ = ΨS + ΨP.

why would having both polar and nonpolar properties in a protective boundary be advantageous for the cell?

Reika [66]

Explanation:

The polar nature of the membrane’s surface can attract polar molecules, where they can later be transported through various mechanisms. Also, the non-polar region of the membrane allows for the movement of small non-polar molecules across the membrane’s interior, while preventing the movement of polar molecules, thus maintaining the cell’s composition of solutes and other substances by limiting their movement.

Further explanation:

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties i.e. they are amphiphilic. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.

There are several different kinds of aquatic ecosystems. Bogs get their water from precipitation, so they don't have many Fill i

Ratling [72]

Bogs get their water from precipitation, so they don't have many nutrients.
Marsh plants are adapted to waterlogged soil
Swamps have plants like trees and shrubs.
Rivers always have flowing currents and pick up sediment as they flow.
Lakes are bodies of water on land.
Wetlands act as filters for nutrients and pollutants dissolved in the water.
Estuaries are wetland regions where freshwater rivers mix with ocean water.

Explanation:

A wetland is a biome which has both water and land that are intermixed in various ways. According to the type of the wetland, the ecosystem differs.

Bogs: Wetland with water from precipitation and no inflow or outflow of surface or ground water.

Soil: Acidic, infertile with less nutrient content

Vegetation: Acid-loving plants

Swamps: Forest wetlands near rivers and lakes.

Soil: well draining, mineral soil

Vegetation: Trees and bushes. Swamps are classified according to the vegetation, like coniferous swamp, hardwood swamp, shrub swamp etc

Marsh: Wetlands mostly inundated with water leading to waterlogged soil

Soil: Organic and mineral soil

Vegetation: Hydrophytic plants adapted to waterlogged soil

Estuaries: Wetland regions enclosed by land one side where fresh water mixes with saline ocean water.

Soil: Saline alkaline soil

Vegetation: Mangrove trees

Rivers and lakes are water bodies that form a part of wetlands.

Rivers are flowing water bodies which flows through water current and picks up sediments as it flows.

Lakes are stationary water bodies that are enclosed by land mass on all its sides.

The wetlands act as a natural filter and receive all the sediments, pollutants etc which are dissolved in water and carried by the rivers and other water sources.
