you departure‚ until four weeks after you return. According to Michael Foley‚ who is a professor at La Trube University in Australia‚ chloroquine is a dibasic drug which diffuses down the pH gradient to accumulate about a 1000-fold in the acidic vacuole of the parasite. The high intravacuole concentration of chloroquine inhibits the polymerization of haem. As a result‚ the haem‚ which is released during hemoglobin breakdown‚ builds up to poisonous levels‚ therefor killing the parasite with its own

differentiated cells. These are grouped together in tissues. Some tissues contain only one type of cell. Some consist of several. Meristematic The main function of meristematic tissue is mitosis. The cells are small‚ thin-walled‚ with no central vacuole and no specialized features. Meristematic tissue is located in • the apical meristems at the growing points of roots and stems. • the secondary meristems (lateral buds) at the nodes of stems (where branching occurs) [View]‚ and in some plants‚

Motion NCERT Chapter Questions and Answers and other Q & A Q1: An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacement? If yes‚ support your answer with an example. Answer: Yes an object can have zero displacement even though it has moved through a distance. It happens when the object moves back to its original position i.e. final position coincides with the starting position. Example: Suppose an object travels from O to C and then comes back to original position O. Total

solution to the same amount that the potatoes have. This would result in the potatoes’ cells shrinking-when the fluid left the vacuole‚ and the cytoplasm also being pulled away from the cell wall by the vacuole (dragging the cell wall in‚ too) in the process of plasmolysis-and the entire potatoes piece shrink‚ becoming soft and flaccid; as it was osmosis & the fluid in the vacuole that helped it keep its turgid shape and feel of density and stiffness in the first place (Bradley‚ O.‚ 2006).
