There are at least three different types of companion cells in the minor veins of mature, exporting leaves. Which of the following statements about these companion cells is CORRECT?

 a.) transfer cells are transport sugars enter the apoplast during the movement of sugars from mesophyll cells to sieve elements. Transfer cells transport sugars from the apoplast to the symplast of the sieve elements and companion cells in the source.

 b.) the numerous mitochondria in companion cells may supply energy as ATP to the sieve elements

 c.) Ordinary companion cells can function in either symplastic or apoplastic short-distance transport in source leaves, depending in part on plasmodesmatal frequencies

 d.) Intermediary cells, by contrast, function in symplastic transport of sugars from mesophyll cells to sieve elements

Microbial cell recovery is carried out in a continuous disc-stack centrifuge. The centrifuge is operated at 5000 rpm for separation of baker's yeast. At a feed rate of 60 1/min, 50% of the cells are recovered. At constant speed, solid recovery is inversely proportional to flow rate. What operating speed is required to recover 90% of cells if the flow rate in the centrifuge is maintained at 601/min?

Gel chromatography is used for hormone separation. A pilot-plant scale gel chromatography column packed with sephacryl resin is used to separate two hormones, A and B. The column is 5 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height: V, = 1.9x 10-⁴m³, Wr = 3x10^-3m³ /kg dry sephacryl, ps =1.25 x 10³ kg/m³ . The partition coefficients are k_pA =0.38 and k_pB= 0.15. If the eluting flow rate is 0.7 I/h, what is the retention time for each hormone?
