Explanation / Answer

Pathogenic Peptidoglycan Stigma Methyl cellulose is a soluble thickening agent that slows the organism down so you have time to examine it. A) seedless tracheophyte a) xylem b) phloem A bunsel burner will always create an upward flow of air so that microbes have a less chance to contaminate. With the diaphragm we can set different sized holes to vary the intensity and size of the cone of light that is projected upward into the slide Test hypothesis by experiments, formulate a conclusion/accept or reject hypothesis Genetic drift Gametophyte, sporophyte Archea, Eubacteria B) paraphyletic False They do not have specialized tissues for water transport. As they are tiny, they do not need it in the first place. They just absorb water by diffusion.
