AI Explain

• Why do Xylem Cells have thick walls?

  To provide mechanical support and withstand environmental stresses
• This allows for easy flow of

  Water and dissolved minerals throughout the plant
• Xylem Cells lack


  Internal structures such as nucleus, cytoplasm, vacuole, and chloroplasts
• Lignin's function in Xylem Cells is

  To provide mechanical support to the cell walls
• Xylem Cell Walls are

  Thick with Lignin, providing mechanical support
• Diffusion


  The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration due to random motion.
• Oxygen (O2)


  Enters cells through plasma membranes; essential for cellular respiration, energy production, and maintenance.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)


  Leaves cells through plasma membranes; a byproduct of cellular respiration, waste product.
• Urea (CO(NH2)2)


  Leaves cells through plasma membranes; a byproduct of protein breakdown and waste product.
• Infection with a pathogen causes an allergy


  True. Infection with a pathogen can trigger an allergic response, leading to conditions like asthma and dermatitis.
• Asthma and dermatitis are allergy-related conditions


  True. Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease caused by an allergic response, while dermatitis is a skin condition characterized by rashes and itching.
• A food allergy is an immune system overreaction to a specific food

  True. Food allergies occur when the body's immune system reacts to a specific food, such as peanuts or milk, and can cause symptoms like hives, itching, and digestive issues.
• Infections can trigger allergic responses, but food allergies are separate


  True. Infections can lead to allergic responses, such as asthma and dermatitis, but food allergies are distinct reactions to specific foods.
• Carcinogen?


  A substance that can cause cancer
• Antioxidant?


  A substance that helps protect cells from damage
