scoundrel [369]

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.  

• Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. All cells of the nervous system are comprised of neurons. Neurons contain nerve processes which are "finger-like" projections that extend from the nerve cell body. The nerve processes consist of axons and dendrites which are able to conduct and transmit signals.  

• The brain is the control center of the body. One of these furrows, the medial longitudinal fissure, divides the brain into left and right hemispheres. Covering the brain is a protective layer of connective tissue known as the meninges.

• The spinal cord runs down the center of the protective spinal column extending from the neck to the lower back. Spinal cord nerves transmit information from body organs and external stimuli to the brain and send information from the brain to other areas of the body.

How would shoot and root growth be affected by a mutation that caused plants to lose the ability to polymerize glucose into star
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) Lateral branch shoots would grow more horizontally and have less of a tendency to turn upward.

d) Lateral branch roots fully embedded in soil would grow randomly upward and downward.

e) Roots breaking the soil surface would grow upward.

Explanation:

Inside the amyloplasts of the common bean the starch granules resemble variously sized cotton balls stuffed into a balloon. Under normal circumstances amyloplasts do nothing more than sit on the bottom of special gravity-sensing cells. When a plant is knocked over, the amyloplasts slide from what was recently the bottom of the cell onto a formerly vertical wall. Somehow, this movement is sensed and relayed to cells that secrete the growth-regulating plant hormone auxin.

Since the plant has lost the ability to transform glucose into the granules. The plant can´t differentiate between up or down because gravity is what causes these granules to settle down.
