Water then moves from cell to cell through the root cortex by osmosisalong a concentration gradient; this means that each cell is hypertonic to the one before it. In the centre of the root the water enters the xylem vessels. Water may move by diffusionthrough the cell walls and intercellular spaces.
Answer:
Bioarchaeology is a discipline that studies human skeletal remains in an archaeological investigation; while forensic anthropology refers to the study of human skeletal remains in a criminal case
Explanation:
Bioarchaeology is a discipline centered on the study of skeletal remains in order to obtain useful information about past societies/civilizations such as, for example, health conditions. On the other hand, forensic anthropology investigates human skeletal remains within a legal and/or criminal investigation. This information may result useful to identify a dead person, find the cause of death, and estimate time since death.
Similarities:
-Both disciplines have a strong biology background (especially in zoology)
-Both disciplines are focused on skeletal analysis
Differences:
-Bioarchaeology is associated with the anthropological study of human societies, while forensic anthropology associated with legal investigations
Answer:
The moon is about one-fourth the size of Earth.
Explanation:
- The Moon has a diameter of 3,476 km and is one-fourth of the size of the earth. Moon is about 27% lesser than the size of the earth.
- Earth's moon is the fifth largest moon in the solar system having a radius of 1,737 km.
- The surface area covered by the moon is about 37.9 mn km square. It is even smaller than the continent of Asia. The moon's mass is about 1.2% of the mass of the earth.
Answer:
Independent variable: varying amounts of light
Dependent variable: plant growth
Explanation:
The variable, which are factors that can be altered, in an experiment can either be independent or dependent. An independent variable is one in which the experimenter manipulates or controls in order to bring about an outcome. For this experiment conducted by Rachel, the independent variable is the VARYING AMOUNT OF LIGHTS.
The dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes of the independent variable. In other words, the dependent variable is the outcome of manipulating the independent variable. Hence, the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable. For Rachel's experiment, the PLANT GROWTH is the dependent variable because it is what responds to changes in amount of light (independent variable).
