Answer:
The phloem carries important sugars, organic compounds, and minerals around a plant. Sap within the phloem simply travels by diffusion between cells and works its way from leaves down to the roots with help from gravity. The phloem is made from cells called 'sieve-tube members' and 'companion cells'.
Answer: Respiration
Explanation:
Respiration is the process of chemical energy stored in food which occurs through various enzyme controlled reactions. Some of the energy generated is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Hence, chemical energy from food is converted to chemical energy in the cell which the cell stores as ATP
Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.
Explanation:
Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells. Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".
The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.
Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).
Scalp hair growth stops because of follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.
Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".
Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidized glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
