The most surprising thing about the universe is that it we don’t know when it will end and it could end at any point in time. The most surprising fact about our galaxy is that it would take around 26,000 years to get out of it.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer and Explanation:
12. The water has a lower osmotic pressure than the cell sap of the root hairs. Due to the osmotic difference water is drawn by osmosis across the cell wall and cell membrane into root hairs. Water moves by osmosis into adjacent cortex cells and their osmotic pressure is lowered drawing water by osmosis. Water passes to the successive cortex cells and through the endodermis to the xylem vessels. At the leaves, the xylem passes into the petiole and then into the veins of the leaf. Water leaves the veins and enters the cells of the spongy and palisade layers.
13. Food and other manufactured material are translocated by the phloem. They enter the sieve elements through plasmodesmata connecting them to adjacent companion cells which are sites of high metabolic activity. The manufactured food are translocated through sieve tube along the cytoplasmic strands.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Interspecific competition
 A type of competition in which organisms belong to different species compete with each others for same resources.
Example
 Leopard and lion.
intraspecific competition 
 A type of competition in which organism belong to same species compete with each others for same resources.
Example
 birds for breeding or shelter compete with each others
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The very function, or job of CELL MEMBRANES is to protect the cell from it's surroundings, or in other words, to keep it safe. It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles, like a guard watching for suspicious activity and protecting something.
The cell membrane itself is a thin, flexible layer around the cells of all living things. It separates the inside of the cells from the outside of the cells.
