Answer: O cell walls.

Explanation:

Plant cells need cell walls to support their structure. Therefore, option C is correct.

What is a cell wall?

Plant cells have a cell wall that surrounds their plasma membrane and offers tensile strength as well as defense against osmotic and mechanical stress. Additionally, it enables the development of turgor pressure or the pressure of the contents of the cell against the cell wall.

Most plant cells, bacteria, algae, fungi, and certain archaea have cell walls. in the cells that have a cell wall. It is a cellulose or chitin-based stiff, semi-permeable structure.

Cell walls can be classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary. The amount of cellulose in the various cell types' walls varies. Plant cells need cell walls to support their structure. Therefore, option C is correct.

What is it called when one organism imitates the features or behavior of another?

Answers

Answer:

Mimicry

Explanation:

Mimicry is an evolved similarity ( in traits and behaviors  ) , often between two organisms

An example of mimicry is the resemblance between coral snakes and kingsnakes. A kingsnake is a harmless snake whereas a coral snake is a fairly venomous snake. A kingsnake looks similar to a coral snake ( mimics its features) leading to kingsnake predators often intimidated by the kingsnakes appearance, because like stated before coral snakes are venomous and kingsnakes mimic their features.

Answer:

Mimicry is the similarity of one organism (the mimic) to another (the model) that enhances the mimic's fitness through its effect on the behavior of a third party, the operator.

What is Transcription?

The process in which  information of a strand of DNA is copied into a new m RNA molecule is known as Transcription.

The  enzyme responsible for transcription is RNA polymerase.

Transcription start when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter region at the start of a gene directly or through helper proteins.

Initiation, Elongation, and termination are the three steps of transcription.

Transcription is carried out with the help of enzyme RNA polymerase and some proteins known as transcription factors.

Enhancer and promoter sequences are the  DNA sequences on which transcription factors attach to initiate the transcription process by directing  RNA polymerase to the correct transcription site.

The transcription initiation complex is made up of transcription factors and RNA polymerase working together.
