communicating stimulus information- TRUE
b. The chemical substance responsible for communicating stimulus
information is a hormone- TRUE
c.Charles and Francis Darwin confirmed that the tip of a plant stem is
responsible for initiating the phototropic response- TRUE
d.When the tip of a stem is covered with a transparent cap, the stem bends
toward the light source anyway- TRUE
e. When the base of a stem is covered with an opaque shield, the stem
bends away from the light source- FALSE
f. An example of another control mechanism is that some plants require
more than 12 hours of darkness to produce flowers- TRUE
Answer: The main way the thermal energy is transferred from the rock to the lizard is by conduction.
The lizard stretches out and warms itself by lying on a warm rock. The rock becomes warm as the sun transfers its thermal energy by radiation to the rock. The thermal energy to the lizard by the rock is transferred by direct contact through conduction. The air above the rock and the lizard also gets heated up and the heat is transferred through convection.
Answer:
a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.
c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.
d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.
Explanation:
Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.
The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
The answer is through the placenta. The placenta is formed in the uterus of the pregnant woman. Its role is in the nourishment of the fetus. The placenta provides the fetus with nutrients and removes waste. The umbilical cord connects the placenta to the fetus and it serves as the transporting passageway.
