What is the function of a pollen tube?

Biology
2 answers:
Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

Answer:

The function of the pollen tube is to lead sperm cells into the ovary.

Explanation:

In angiosperms, the pollen tube is a structure formed when the pollen grain comes into contact with the stigma and germinates, producing a tubal extension that is related to the embryonic sac where the female gametophyte is found.

The function of the pollen tube is to conduct the male gametophyte —which is found in the pollen— to the embryonic sac, in order to come into contact with the oosphere and produce fertilization.

The other options are not correct because the pollen tube:

  • <em>Do </em><u><em>not create more pollen</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>Do </em><u><em>not create more male spermatophytes</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <u><em>Does not lead the eggs to the male spermatophytes</em></u><em>.</em>

Who is Taylor swift in real life rude mean nice help
Iteru [2.4K]
When Taylor swift was receiving her music award and Kanye West interrupted her right before she made her speech, she didn't attack him, push or yell at him. Taylor didn't make a scene or react. Most people would have. I think this tells us about her character. It appears that she is kind, not impulsive and overall a classy lady. Even afterwards, she didn't bad mouth or go on a social media to blast against Kanye on the Internet. This demonstrates that Taylor is strong and has thick skin.

At your lab station, you put 30 mL of hydrogen peroxide into three separate beakers and add 2 grams of ground up liver to each o
stepan [7]

Based on the investigation, the inference that can be made about the result is that catalase activity increases with warm temperature.

The liver usually contains an enzyme known as catalase that is capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The bubbles observed in the beaker during the investigation represent the oxygen being evolved from the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide by the catalase in the liver sample.

At room temperature, a moderate number of oxygen bubbles were observed.  The number of bubbles increased with increased temperature as a result of placing the beaker in a warm water bath. At a lower temperature brought by placing the beaker in an ice water bath, no bubbles were observed.

Thus, we can effectively conclude that the activities of the catalase enzyme in the liver increased with a moderately increased temperature.

More on the effects of temperature on catalase activities can be found here: brainly.com/question/18650715

Many plant cells have more than two complete sets of chromosomes in each cell. Explain how this might occur.
otez555 [7]
Polyploidy (more than two complete sets of chromosomes) is not rare among plants. For example, pollen grains may reach female flowers via animals or wind. In some cases, pollen grains from species with 4 complete sets of chromosomes will have 2 sets of chromosomes. Pollen grains may fuse with a female reproductive organ with 1 set of chromosome (so, female plant must have 2 sets of chromosomes). The resulting zygote will have 2 + 1 sets of chromosomes, so the plant will have 3 complete sets of chromosomes.
