Answer: cactus

Explanation:

Cactus has modified visibily leaves called spine. These spines help and protect cactus from human and animal harm and also reduce the water loss from the cactus stem. When there is less rain the roots spread out and store water in the stem.

nexus9112 [7]

The answer is Dilutions

Bacterial culture is one of the laboratory examination that could be used to determine if a specimen contain bacteria. But it will hard to count the colony if the bacteria count is too high.

That is why the specimen of the culture need to be diluted to reduce the bacteria count of the specimen, so the result will be easier to count. The unit used would be colony forming unit(CFU) per milliliter.

The following image shows a pencil submerged in a glass of water. A friend thinks that the pencil is broken. How would you expla
dezoksy [38]

Correct answer: A). Light slows down as it moves from the air in to the water, resulting in refraction, or a bending of light.

This is because as light travels through one media it travels in a straight line, however, when it travels from one media to another media it bends, light path bends because of the phenomenon of refraction of light.

The refraction takes place only at the boundary, as the light continues to cross the boundary, it travels in a straight line.

So, as the portion of the pencil is submerged in water, the light will travel from water to air.

Hence it appears to be broken because of refraction of light. So, the correct answer would be option A.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to incre
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The correct order is:

  1. High amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas.  
  2. Synthesis of hormones by beta cells.
  3. Binding of hormones with receptors on the liver.
  4. Intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters.
  5. Release of hormones from the receptors  

Explanation:

  • The pancreas produces two hormones important for the regulation of blood glucose levels.
  • The two hormones, glucagon and insulin, increase and decrease the blood sugar respectively.
  • Insulin lowers the blood glucose by stimulating the body cells to increase the intake of glucose.
  • The brain senses high/low blood glucose, then, sends signals to the pancreas to initiate the synthesis of insulin or glucagon by the beta cells.
  • These hormones bind to receptors on body cells; on hepatic cells, in case of insulin.
  • The receptors initiate cellular signaling that facilitates intake or exit of glucose in or out of body cells.

Give one reason why wheat plants with short stalks can store more starch in the grain
MrRa [10]
Less of the sugars produced in the leaves is used making cellulose, the structural molecule that supports stems in herbaceous plants. As a result, more is free to be stored in grain in the form of starch. Hope this helps! :D<span>
