Answer:

Water is precious since it is one of the most basic commodities that sustain the life of human beings, animals and plant. Without water, it would be impossible for any form of life to exist in the universe. Close to 75% of the Earth is covered with salt water, while 2% of the surface contains frozen water.

pochemuha

Water reabsorption takes place in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells, induced by the peptide hormone vasopressin. An increase in 3'5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in these cells leads to an increasing permeability of the CCD apical membrane to water.

<h3>What is hormones and duct ?</h3>

Your body uses hormones as chemical messengers. They move to tissues or organs through your bloodstream. They affect numerous processes, including growth and development, and work gradually over time. How your body converts food into energy is known as metabolism.

  • Ducts are cell-defined passageways that can be used for either secretions or excretions. a gland is an organ that secretes substances in both plants and animals.

Answer:

Explanation:

Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange.

They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. Although these design features are good for photosynthesis, they can result in the leaf losing a lot of water. The cells inside the leaf have water on their surface. Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.

When water evaporates from the leaves, resulting in more water being drawn up from the roots, it is called transpiration.

To reduce water loss the leaf is coated in a waxy cuticle to stop the water vapour escaping through the epidermis. Leaves usually have fewer stomata on their top surface to reduce this water loss.

Leaves enable photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food) for plants to grow. Leaves are adapted to perform their function, eg they have a large surface area to absorb sunlight.

Plants have two different types of 'transport' tissue, xylem and phloem. These specialised tissues move substances in and around the plant.

Which does this tissue work with to carry out transportation
Nimfa-mama [501]

The epidermis has tiny pores called stomata (singular, stoma) that control transpiration and gas exchange with the air. so the tissue works with the stomata
