Answer:

Parenchyma

Parenchyma is a tissue composed of polyhedral living cells having thin walls and is concerned with vegetative activities of the plant. The individual cells of the tissue are called parenchyma cells.

<u>Types of parenchyma: </u>

Assimilatory: parenchyma cells which take part in photosynthesis contain chloroplasts and form a tissue called Chlorenchyma. These cells have a single or many vacuoles.

Storage Parenchyma: Some parenchyma cells contain leucoplasts. Parenchyma cells may store reserve materials. Amides, proteins and sugars are found dissolved in cell sap, as in roots of sugar-beet. Starch, proteins and fats occur in cytoplasm in the form of small particles. Proteins, starch grains and oils are found in the endosperm and cotyledons of many plants. In succulent plants, parenchyma cells which store water are present. Such cells are large, thin-walled and have only a thin layer of cytoplasm.

Aerenchyma: The tissues with prominent intercellular spaces is called Aerenchyma, e.g., occurring in plants growing in waterlogged soils and aquatic environments.

Pseudo-parenchyma: These are thin walled and elastic and meristematic in nature.

Chromoplast Parenchyma: Chromoplast contain pigments and is common in petals of flowers, fruits etc.

<u>Origin: </u>

Parenchyma tissue of the primary plant body, i.e., parenchyma of the cortex and the pith, of mesophyll of leaves and of flower parts, differentiates from the ground meristem. The parenchyma associated with the primary and secondary xylem is formed from pro-cambium and the vascular cambium. Parenchyma also rise from the phellogen in the form of phelloderm.

Functions Of Parenchyma Tissues

In plant’s body or in its organs, the cell wall parenchyma appears as ground substance in which other tissues such as vascular tissues are embedded.

The apical meristems and the reproductive cells are parenchymatous. These are also involved in the phenomenon of wound healing and regeneration.

The parenchyma is also precursor of the other tissues. The parenchyma cells bring about the functions of photosynthesis, assimilation, respiration, storage, secretion, excretion, etc., as they have living protoplast.

The parenchyma cells associated with xylem and phloem are connected with transportation of food and water.

The intercellular larger portions of plants, such as pith, all or most, of the cortex of the root and shoot, the pericycle, the mesophyll of the leaf, and the fleshy parts of the root and shoot, the pericycle, the mesophyll of the leaf and the fleshy parts of the fruit consist of parenchyma cells. They are also present in xylem and phloem.

You are doing an experiment involving antibiotic resistance in your study bacteria. This organism grows well on LB - Miller agar
KiRa [710]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The stock solution of Gentamycin has a concentration of 5 mg/ml while each plate needs to contain 50 micrograms/ml of Gentamycin.

5 mg/ml = 5000 micrograms/ml

There is a need to dilute the stock antibiotic solution in order to arrive at 50 micrograms/ml. Using the dilution principle;

m1v1 = m2v2

5000 x 1 = 50 x v2

v2 = 5000/50 = 1000 ml

<em>Hence, in order to prepare 50 micrograms/ml, 1 ml of the stock Gentamycin should be taken and diluted with 999 ml of distilled sterilized water. 1 ml of the diluted Gentamycin will then be added to each agar plate while they are still in the molten form at a warm temperature.</em>

2. A large storm destroys the greenbelt of an island coastline. What are the consequences of this loss of habitat? (2 points)
Kryger [21]

2 The correct answer is (b)beach erosion to the unprotected coastline

A large storm destroys the greenbelt of an island  The consequences is beach erosion to the unprotected coastline. The beach erosion takes place in the area which is not protected.

3 The correct answer is (b) a loss of biodiversity due to human activity

The forest habitat is cleared which results in the loss of biodiversity by human interventions. The area which was the habitat of organisms has now been converted into shopping complex due to which the habitat loss of many organisms took place.
