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.
Answer:
a) i. low, ii. high, iii. low
Explanation:
The correct answer is option (D) The active transport and the facilitated diffusion both involve the proteins present in the cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion transport the large and the charged molecules through the protein transport channels present in the cell membrane. In this case, the solute move from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration and it does not require energy.
Active transports takes place when the molecules move from a region of lower concentration to higher concentration via the membrane protein channels.
Both facilitated diffusion and active transport requires the proteins present in the cell membrane.
One consequence of CFCS pollution is increased rates of skin cancer in humans.
Cholofluorocarbons cause the breakdown of the ozone layer that protects the earth from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Once in the atmosphere, CFCs drift slowly upward to the stratosphere, where they are brojken up by ultraviolet radiation, releasing the chlorine that catalytically destroys ozone.
