The phloem tissue of vascular plants is primarily composed of sieve elements and companion cells. These components allow the tis

sue to function in a very specialized way.
Sieve elements are arranged in long, cylindrical patterns that form a tube of cells. The cell membranes of these sieve elements allow molecules to pass between the cells of the tube.

Companion cells are responsible for taking up certain molecules made in the plant's leaves through active transport and moving them into the tubes made by sieve elements.

Based on the composition of phloem tissue, it is most likely used by the plant for
A.
the conversion of sugar into usable energy.
B.
the conversion of light energy into sugar.
C.
the transport of sugars and other organic molecules.
D.
the transport of water to the plant's leaves.

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The main function of phloem tube is to transport sugar molecules or other nutrients from their production site (such as sugar produced by leaves), to other parts of the plants where they are needed(such as root etc).

In general, a signal transmitted via phosphorylation of a series of proteins A) brings a conformational change to each protein.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) requires phosphorylase activity.

Explanation:

Signals transmitted with the use of phosphorylation requires the presence and activity of an enzyme phosphorylase (also called Kinase) that can add phosphorus groups to proteins or other molecules in order for them to become messengers in the signaling pathway.

What is a triacylglycerol ? Discuss the advantages of organisms having triacylglycerol as energy storage molecule?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Triacylglycerols are acylglycerols with three fatty acid molecules, generally long chain, which can be the same or different; we speak of simple triacylglycerols when there is the same fatty acid in all three glycerol positions, but most are mixed triacylglycerols, with at least two different fatty acids. The properties of triacylglycerols will depend on the type of fatty acids they contain.

Most of the fats and oils of both animal origin (tallow, butter) and vegetable (olive, corn, sunflower, palm, and coconut oils) are formed almost exclusively by triacylglycerols.

Physiologically, triacylglycerols are an important energy reserve. In most eukaryotic cells, triacylglycerols are stored in the cytosol as microscopic fat droplets. In vertebrates there are specialized cells in the storage of fat, adipocytes. In humans, the presence of fatty tissue under the skin, in the abdominal cavity and in the mammary gland stands out.
