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).

Which healthy gamete could not result from the parent cell shown?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Gamete C

Explanation:

During the formation of gametes, the DNA is first duplicated, and 2 separate cell divisions take place to make a haploid cell.

In the first division, the homologous chromosomes are separated

Before the first cell division, the homologous chromosomes align in the centre. In this cell, the light green and dark green chromosomes align, as do the light purple and dark purple chromosomes. These are then separated into 2 different cells, 1 gets either the light or dark green chromosome and either the light purple and dark purple chromosome. The other cell also gets either light green or dark green and light purple or dark purple.

Then, a second division takes place that separates the sister chromatids to produce what we see in the gametes A, B, C, and D.

The only one that is not possible in a healthy cell is C, because it has not received any of the green chromosomes and instead has two homologous purples.

Radio telescopes are best used in _____. Select all that apply. detecting a star that emits little visible light detecting stars
Serhud [2]

The answer is; detecting stars that are behind nebulae that would normally block out other stars


Radio  waves have large frequencies unlike the other waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Due to their large wavelength, they are much larger than the size of an atom hence cannot be blocked or deflected by atomic nuclei. This is unlike gamma rays (and other short wavelength electromagnetic radiation) that are smaller than atoms and easily blocked and deflected by atomic nuclei. Such radiations are extremely attenuated when they pass the through nebula cloud. Radio waves hence overcome this challenge.
