Answer:

The <u>shape in V</u> of the vomerine teeth is useful to <u>hook the prey and hold i</u>t until the frog can swallow it.  

Explanation:  

In frogs, we can distinguish maxillary teeth, premaxillary teeth, and Vomerine teeth.

Vomerine teeth are projections of the vomer bone, located in the anterior part of the paladar and between the internal nares.

Vomerine teeth are specialized structures that help frogs catch and hold their prey. They are not involved in chewing or killing (frogs swallow the entire prey alive), just holding the creature before swallowing it.

These projections are covered by soft tissue. When the frog catches the prey, presses the tongue against the roof of your mouth. The vomerine teeth hook the prey and prevent it from slipping or wandering away.

The<u> shape in V</u> of the vomerine teeth is useful <u>to hook the prey and hold it </u>until the frog can swallow it.

Removal of phloem tissue leads to gradual death of the plant. Why does this happen?
pogonyaev
The phloem is essential for transporting sugars the plant has made to other areas of the plant, this is necessary as some areas of the plant cannot perform photosynthesis or perform it at a much slower rate. E.g. the roots can't perform photosynthesis to get the sugars it needs because they aren't exposed to light, but they still need energy to function and without sugar transport by the phloem they would not get this so areas of the plant would die

The lysosome functions in a cell like the _______ does in our bodies.
Troyanec [42]
Lysosomes remove waste at a cellular level.
They contain digestive enzymes, so they're like the digestive system.
The stomach digests food, so lysosomes could be considered like the stomach.
But then again, so do the intestines, small and large.
Since the stomach doesn't also work to remove waste though, I'd say the answer is probably large intestine, which finishes the digestive process and removes waste material.
