Compare transport in animals and plants cells

Biology
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Transport in both plants and mammals is by a system of specialised tubes. ... In mammals this forms a circulatory system of arteries, capillaries and veins. In flowering plants, transport is not circulatory and occurs in microscopic xylem and phloem.

Explanation:

Mammals:

ºSpecialised tubes - arteries, capillaries and veins.

ºAll tubes are composed of living cells.

ºThe concentration of substances transported is controlled (see homeostasis). The ºconcentration of the substances being transported is not controlled.

ºThe heart controls the circulatory system. The heart is controlled by the nervous system.

ºThe rate of flow is moderate and is regulated by vasoconstriction and vasodilation.

ºUses water as a medium in which to transport substances (it is a good solvent, it has a high specific heat capacity, has good surface tension but is not viscous, and is unreactive).

º The substances being transported are: respiratory gases, glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, vitamins, minerals, hormones.

Plants:

º Specialised tubes - xylem vessels and tracheids and phloem sieve tubes.

º Some tubes are composed of living cells, e.g. phloem. Others are composed of dead cells, e.g. xylem.

º The concentration of the substances being transported is not controlled.

º There is no such control in plants.

º The rate of flow in the xylem and phloem is quite slow. The rate of flow in the xylem is controlled by external factors via the stomata (e.g. temperature, wind, humidity).

º Uses water as a medium in which to transport substances.

ºSubstances being transported are: sucrose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, vitamins, hormones (in the phloem) and minerals and water (in the xylem). Respiratory gases are not transported by this system but move via a series of inter-connecting air spaces.

4. Which event would be the most predictable one year in advance of the event?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

1. an eclipse of the Sun

2. state (phase) of matter

3. 5.0 g/cm3

Explanation:

1. Eclipse of the sun occurs when the planetary bodies align in such a way that causes the moon to block sunlight from reaching the Earth. The eclipse of the Sun will be the most predictable occurrence because it follows a pattern of occurrence. Eclipse of the sun occurs after a specific period of time, hence, based on this, scientists can predict that when it will occur next using its previous pattern of occurrence.

2. Considering the following groups: Group A: water, aluminum, water vapor

Group B: gasoline, ice, air

Group C: alcohol, iron, oxygen

One would realize that each constituent of each group exists in a particular state of matter. For example, in group B, gasoline is a liquid, ice is a solid while air is a gaseous mixture. Same applies for group A and C where water and alcohol are liquids, iron and aluminum are solids, while water vapor and oxygen are gases.

This shows that the STATE (PHASE) OF MATTER was the basis of classification.
