The movement of sugars from the leaf to other parts of plant is?

guttation

transpiration

transportation

translocation

Detalhes da Resposta

The movement of sugars from the leaf to other parts of the plant is called translocation. Plants make food through photosynthesis, which occurs in the leaves. The sugar produced in the leaves is used by the plant as energy, but it also needs to be transported to other parts of the plant, such as the roots, stems, and flowers. This movement of sugar is called translocation. Translocation occurs through the plant's transport system, which includes tiny tubes called xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, while the phloem transports sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves to other parts of the plant. This helps ensure that all parts of the plant have the necessary resources to grow and thrive.

Which of the following is associated with the dark stage of photosynthesis?

Assimilation of Carbon(IV)oxide

Photophosphorylation

Photolysis

Excitation of chlorophyll

Detalhes da Resposta

The dark stage of photosynthesis is associated with "Assimilation of Carbon(IV)oxide". Photosynthesis can be divided into two stages: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and require light energy to produce ATP and NADPH, which are energy-rich molecules. The light-independent reactions, also known as the dark reactions, occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts and use the energy from the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. This process is called "Assimilation of Carbon(IV)oxide". "Photophosphorylation" refers to the process of producing ATP in the light-dependent reactions, while "Photolysis" refers to the splitting of water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen ions during the light-dependent reactions. "Excitation of chlorophyll" refers to the process of capturing light energy by chlorophyll molecules in the light-dependent reactions.

Detalhes da Resposta

The sum total of all observable features of an organism is called the phenotype. The phenotype includes physical traits, such as height, eye color, and hair texture, as well as behavioral traits, such as a person's ability to run quickly or play a musical instrument. The phenotype is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The genetic component of the phenotype is determined by the organism's genotype, which is the complete set of genetic information that it carries, while the environmental component is determined by the conditions in which the organism lives, such as the availability of food and water, the temperature, and the presence of other organisms. Heterozygous and homozygous are terms that describe the relationship between two copies of a gene in an organism's genotype. Heterozygous means that the two copies of the gene are different, while homozygous means that the two copies are the same. These terms are used to describe the genetic makeup of organisms and can be used to predict the likelihood of certain traits being expressed in the phenotype.

Detalhes da Resposta

The beak structure of an organism is best adapted for the type of food it primarily consumes. For example, if the organism primarily consumes seeds and grass, its beak will likely be flat and wide, allowing it to effectively peck at the ground and pick up small seeds. If the organism primarily eats fish, its beak will likely be sharp and hooked, allowing it to efficiently kill and pick fish from the water. If the organism primarily feeds on nectar, its beak will likely be long and slender, allowing it to reach into flowers and efficiently suck the nectar. So, the type of food the organism consumes will determine the beak structure that is best adapted for its needs.

Succession that occurs on an abandoned farm land is?

Detalhes da Resposta

Succession that occurs on an abandoned farm land is referred to as secondary succession. Secondary succession is the process of change and development of plant and animal communities that occurs after a disturbance, such as a fire, flood, or human activity, has removed or altered the existing community. In the case of an abandoned farm land, the removal of crops, trees, and other vegetation, as well as the disturbance of the soil, creates an opportunity for new species to colonize the area and establish new communities. Over time, the community changes and evolves, eventually reaching a stable state known as the climax community. Primary succession, on the other hand, occurs in areas where there was previously no vegetation, such as newly formed volcanic islands or areas that have been covered by glaciers. In these areas, the first organisms to colonize the area are typically lichens, mosses, and other small plants that can tolerate the harsh conditions. As the community becomes more established, larger plants and animals move in, leading to the development of a more complex and diverse community. Tertiary succession is a less common type of succession that occurs on previously disturbed sites that have been abandoned for a longer period of time, such as old fields or abandoned industrial sites. In these cases, the community has already undergone secondary succession, but further changes and evolution may occur due to changes in the environment or the introduction of new species.

The correct pathway for blood flow from the heart to the tissues of mammals is: heart-artery-arteriole-tissues. Here's a simple explanation: - The heart pumps blood into the arteries. - The arteries carry the blood away from the heart to smaller blood vessels called arterioles. - The arterioles further distribute the blood to the tissues. It's important to note that the blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and picks up waste products from the tissues to be transported back to the heart and then to the lungs, kidneys, and other organs for elimination. This is called the circulatory system.

Detalhes da Resposta

The part of mammalian skin that excretes metabolic wastes is the sweat gland. The sweat glands are responsible for producing and secreting sweat, which is a mixture of water, salts, and other substances, including metabolic waste products. The sweat is produced in response to changes in body temperature, such as during physical activity or exposure to warm environments, and it is released onto the surface of the skin through small openings called sweat pores. From there, it evaporates and helps to regulate the body's temperature. The horny layer is the outermost layer of the skin, composed of dead skin cells that have been pushed to the surface. It acts as a protective barrier, helping to keep harmful substances out of the body. The Malpighian layer is the deepest layer of the skin, and it contains blood vessels, nerve endings, and other structures that are important for the skin's function. The sebaceous glands are small glands in the skin that produce an oily substance called sebum, which helps to moisturize the skin and protect it from environmental damage.

Detalhes da Resposta

The waste product of insects is typically excreted in the form of uric acid. Unlike other insects and mammals, insects do not have a separate organ for the elimination of liquid waste, like a bladder. Instead, they excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which is a solid substance. This solid form of waste helps to conserve water, as insects can lose a significant amount of water through evaporation. The uric acid is excreted through specialized structures called Malpighian tubules, which are found in the insect's abdomen. The uric acid is then passed out of the body through the anus.

Detalhes da Resposta

In genetic counseling, it is preferred for a man with the HbA HbS blood type to marry a woman with the HbA HbA blood type. This is because the HbA HbS blood type, also known as sickle cell anemia, is a genetic condition where the red blood cells can take on a sickle shape, leading to reduced oxygen flow and causing various health problems. If a man with HbA HbS marries a woman with HbA HbA, there is a lower chance that their children will inherit the sickle cell anemia gene. On the other hand, if the man with HbA HbS marries a woman with HbS HbS, there is a higher chance that their children will inherit the sickle cell anemia gene and suffer from the condition. In summary, it is recommended for a man with HbA HbS to marry a woman with HbA HbA to reduce the risk of passing on the sickle cell anemia gene to their children.

Detalhes da Resposta

The internal structure of a leaf with larger air spaces is the spongy mesophyll. The mesophyll is the main tissue inside the leaf, and it is divided into two main layers: the palisade mesophyll and the spongy mesophyll. The palisade mesophyll is located near the upper surface of the leaf and has tightly packed cells that are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis. The spongy mesophyll is located near the lower surface of the leaf and has loosely packed cells with larger air spaces between them. The larger air spaces in the spongy mesophyll allow for the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen between the leaf and the air. This is important for the process of photosynthesis, where the plant uses energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released into the air through the stomata, which are small pores found on the surface of the leaf.

An adaptation for defense in animals is spines in porcupine fish. Porcupine fish have spines on their bodies that can be raised when they feel threatened. The spines act as a defense mechanism to deter predators from attacking the fish. When the spines are raised, they make the fish look larger and more intimidating, and the spines can also cause injury to the predator if it tries to bite the fish. Croaking of a male toad is a type of communication that is used to attract mates or defend territory, but it is not an adaptation for defense. Basking in lizards is a behavior that helps the lizards regulate their body temperature, but it is not an adaptation for defense.

The correct answer is: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets. Blood is a complex fluid that is made up of different components, each with a specific function.

- Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They have a biconcave shape that allows them to carry more oxygen and are flexible so they can move through the smallest blood vessels.

- White blood cells (also called leukocytes) are part of the body's immune system and help fight infections. There are different types of white blood cells, each with a specific function, such as identifying and destroying harmful bacteria and viruses.

- Plasma is the yellowish fluid part of blood that makes up about 55% of total blood volume. It contains water, proteins, hormones, and waste products. Plasma also helps to transport nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.

- Platelets (also called thrombocytes) are small, disc-shaped cells that play a crucial role in the formation of blood clots. When there is an injury or wound, platelets clump together to form a clot and stop bleeding.

So, red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets.
