Answer:
i) iv) ii) iii)
Explanation:
The excitable cell begins being in a resting state, with a negative charge, -70 mV. First (i) there is a stimulus of influx of sodio into the cell, if the stimulus is strong enough and exceeds -55 mV, the threshold potential, then an action potential will occur. (iv) A strong influx of sodium that deporalizes the cells causes a change to a positive charge in the cell. (ii) Then potassium efflux from the cell in large quantities, which repolarizes the cell. (iii) With a continuous efflux of potassium the cell can become more negative than the resting potential, this is called hyperpolarization.
Answer:
Approximately 6944 glucose residues are added enzymatically per second
Explanation:
Cellulose is the main structural polysaccharides in plants. It is composed of unbranched glucose monomer units linked to each other by beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
The cell wall and stem of plants cells are composed of cellulose fibers. They provide rigidity and support to the plant.
In the given bamboo plant, the enzymatic addition of glucose units to the growing cellulose fiber chains results in the phenomenal growth rate of the bamboo stem.
Since each glucose unit contributes ~0.5 nm to the length of a cellulose molecule, number of glucose units required for daily growth is calculated as follows:
0.5 nm = 10⁻⁹
0.3 m/0.5 x 10⁻⁹ m = 600000000 units of glucose per day
Number of seconds in a day = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 seconds
Number of glucose residues added per second = 600000000/86400
Number of glucose residues added per second = 6944.4 glucose molecules per second
Therefore, approximately 6944 glucose residues are added per second
Answer:
The sucrose is transported around the plant in phloem vessels. It needs to be able to reach all cells in the plant so that the sucrose can be converted back into glucose for respiration. The movement of sucrose and other substances like amino acids around a plant is called translocation .
Belowground organs of plants (e.g. roots and rhizomes) are sinks during plant growth since they cannot perform photosynthesis. Some organs are both a source and sink. Leaves are sinks when growing and sources when photosynthesizing
