What part of the plant cell provides support for the cell?

The Secondary cell wall has three layers, while the Primary cell wall is semi-permeable and admits the passages of small molecules and proteins into and out of the cell.


Is this statement true or false All predators are secondary consumers while all prey are primary consumers Explain?

True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.


What polysaccharides is used for cell walls?

The primary structure of the cell wall is mostly cellulose while the secondary structure is composed of lignin.


What geological and climatic conditions are likely to affect slope replacement?

Slopes are categorized in groups called primary slopes and secondary slopes. Primary slopes promote relief while secondary slopes decrease relief. Moist areas are great for the progression of vegetation and soil.


What happens if you feed a plant something other than water?

That is a really good science experiment! I happen to know that some liquids will boost plant growth while others will delay it. For example, it is proven that carbonated water will boost plant growth.

What is the difference between primary and secondary growth?

Primary growth is the lengthening of the stem and roots. All plant growth occurs by cell division and cell elongation. Cell division occurs primarily in regions of undifferentiated cells known as meristems. Cell division in the apical meristems and subsequent elongation and maturation of the new cells produces primary growth." on the other hand, secondary growth is the result of the activity of the vascular cambium. The latter is a meristem that divides to produce secondary xylem cells on the inside of the meristem (the adaxial side) and secondary phloem cells on the outside (the abaxial side). This growth increases the girth of the plant root or stem, rather than its length, hence the phrase "secondary thickening". As long as the vascular cambium continues to produce new cells, the stem or root will continue to grow in diameter. In woody plants, this process produces wood.


Is this statement true or false All predators are secondary consumers while all prey are primary consumers?

true because secondary consumers eat plant eaters which are the predators.

What is the different between primary absorbance and secondary absorbance in fluorescence?

What is the differnce between primary and secondary data?

Primary data is the the data that collected by yourself. While secondary data is those collected by others and to be reused by yourself.


Lymph Nodules can be either Primary Nodules or Secondary Nodules?

Yes, primary nodules don't have germinal centers(active B cells) while secondary nodules do.


Compare the primary and secondary cell walls?

the primary wall can still grow with the cell, while once the secondary wall is created the cell can no longer grow. Even after the cell dies, the secondary wall will remain.


How can a consumer in the food chain belong to two different groups?

A producer is able to produce their own energy (like a plant), while a primary consumer consumes the energy that the producer produces. A secondary consumes the producers' energy by eating the primary consumer who ate the producer. Omnivores, like humans, are primary consumers when they eat plants and secondary consumers when they eat meat.


An isolation transformer has 500 turns on the primary winding how many turns are on the secondary?

An isolation transformer is intended to isolate the ground path in the primary from the secondary while maintaining the same voltage on the secondary. This means a turns ratio of 1 to 1. If there are 500 turns on the primary, then there will be 500 turns on the secondary.


What are secondary and primary consumers?

Primary consumers feed on producers (plants) and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers. For example, rabbits are primary consumers because they feed on vegetation. Foxes are secondary consumers because they feed on rabbits.


What Are The Primary and Secondary industries in Dubai?

The Primary industries in the UAE are oil extraction,tourism and the service industry while the secondary ones are the banking industry, construction and real-estate.
