Liver cells - Nucleus, Cytoplasm, and cell membrane. I hope.
Yeah, hepatic portal vein and ileum
dry mass, i put measure the amount of solution uptaken by the plants., and then subtract from original. I think its wrong.

yea thats wrond dude.... uve gotta bake the radish plant to find the dry mass..!
But the same radish has to be used for 6 weeks. How would you "bake" it without killing it? Thats what the experiment says nid. They measure the growth of the plant for 6 weeks. They wont use different plants.

They measure the dry mass every week.  :D Im getting more and more confident that my answer has a SMALL chance of being correct.

The natural selection answer was because the sickle cell hetero ppl cant get malaria right? So the survive due to survival of fittest, and they pass the trait onto their children right?

As the plant can't make WATER, they have to absorb it from the solution. So if U subtract the mass of water absorb from the mass of radish u get the dry mass.
