  • Xylem contains tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibre.
  1. Tracheids: They are elongated, tubular dead cells with tapering end walls.
  2. Vessels: These are also known as trachea. They are elongated, tubular dead cells. They are joined to each other by end to end forming a continuous pipe. The cells are thick and lignified.
  3. Xylem parenchyma: They are also called wood parenchyma. This is the only living tissue of xylem.
  4. Xylem fibre: They are dead cells with thick walled fibre.

  • Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
  1. Sieve tubes: These are elongated, tubular living cells arranged in a row, with their perforated end walls forming a sieve. They are non-nucleated. Their protoplasm are inter-connected through sieve plates. They possess vacuoles.
  2. Companion cell: They are elongated, lens-shaped cells containing dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei. These cells maintain connection with sieve cells through pits.
  3. Phloem parenchyma: They are living thin walled parenchyma cells.
  4. Phloem fibre: They are also known as bast fibre. They are elongated fibre like sclerenchymatous dead cells with thick walls containing pits and interlocked ends. Phloem fibre are the only dead cells in phloem.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Star P is smaller than star Q

Explanation:

Absolute brightness is defined as brightness of a celestial object or star from a  Standard distance usually taken as 10 parsecs from Earth. If one star is brighther than the other then there can be two variable playing major role given that they are at same distance –  

a) composition of star and

b) Its size.  

The larger the star, the more energy it will emit per second and hence more will be its absolute brightness.  

Thus, star P is smaller than star Q

cells have checkpoints to regulate when the cell can move on to the next stage of the cycle. true or false
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoints are an important layer of control of the cell cycle. The cell cycle is a process by which cells divide.

There are 4 stages of the cell cycle G1, G2, S and M.

When the cell goes through the cell cycle, each stage has different processes that must occur for the cell to properly divide. During G1, the cell must grow to sufficient size and the environment must be favorable for cell division. During S phase, all the DNA must be properly replicated. during G2 the cell must prepare for division. During M, the cell actually divides.

There are 3 checkpoints throughout the cell cycle. The G1 checkpoint ensures the cell has reached sufficient size. The G2 checkpoint ensures the DNA has been properly replicated. The M checkpoint makes sure the chromosomes are properly attached to the spindles to split the DNA between 2 new cells.

Without these checkpoints, the cell can divide uncontrollably which can lead to cancer.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Neurodegeneration

Explanation:

The term neurodegeneration refers to a group of disorders which are characterized by a progressive waste of function or structure of neurons, that in worst cases can include death of neaurons.

Many neurodegenerative disorders such as  Parkinson's disease,– including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease  and Alzheimer's disease can occur due to neurodegeneration.

Neurodegeneration can manifest itself in various forms such as lack of physical and intellectual abilities like inability to use muscles or memory loss. These disorders cannot be completely cured and ultimately lead to the death of neurons.

As mentioned in the question, the person suffers from progressive loss of  intellectual and physical abilities that has occurred over the course of a long period of time. Therefore, it is most probable that he is having some neurodegenerative disorder.

Hope it helps!
