Neon is a member of the noble gas family. Other elements in this family includes <span>helium, argon, krypton, xenon, </span>and <span>radon. </span>These gases are in Group 18 (VIIIA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. The noble gases are sometimes called the inert gases. This name comes from the fact that these elements do not react very readily. In fact, compounds exist for only three noble gases—krypton, radon, and xenon. Chemists have yet to prepare compounds of helium, neon, or argon.
Neon was discovered in 1898 by British chemists William Ramsay (1852-1916) and Morris Travers (1872-1961). It occurs naturally in the atmosphere, but only in very small amounts.

I think it's D. It shields life forms on the surface from radiation?
Answer:
They have helical thickening of lignin in their walls to prevent collapse
Explanation:
the primary function of Xylem and its conducting vessels tracheids is to provide support and tranport water and minerals in plants.
Xylem vessels have layers of dead materials in the walls called LIGNIN. Lignin is a polymer; a very strong, hard materials that stop water passage through it,because it contains dead cells,
Therefore the presence of deposit of these strong impermeable, ligified walls in its walls prevent its collapse during mass flow of water of transpiration pull.
Answer:
multicellular.
Explanation:
Organisms exhibit various levels of organization of the body. It includes cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level of organization. The unicellular organisms have single cells as their bodies and therefore do not have the genes that regulate the various parts of the body rather than the individual cells. Prokaryotic are unicellular organisms only and do not have multiple cells in their bodies. Therefore, the mentioned genes are the regulatory genes that coordinate the functioning of various parts of the body of a multicellular organism. For instance, the genes involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.
