Describe how the solid phase speciation (i.e., chemical form) of lead affects its bioaccessibility in the human digestive tract.

For the transport of metals across the fluids and the body membranes, the intracellular potential is needed. But sometimes due to the toxicity of lead, the process is affected especially in the digestive tract.

How bioaccessibility of lead is affected in the human digestive tract?

Both the organic (tetra alkyl lead) and inorganic forms of lead have been demonstrated to be extremely hazardous in experimental studies. This lead absorption, which typically occurs by inhalation or food contamination, is influenced by variables including absorption rate, particle size, and solubility. The majority of the lead that is inhaled is in tissues that contain minerals. Following speciation, Lead's binding power increases in comparison to Zinc and Calcium, which has an impact on fluidity. Lead's bioavailability seems to be reduced when food is present. The concentration of lead may also be reduced by pyromorphite. Since solid state speciation happens when the pH is between 6 and 7, Now, this results in a change in circumstances from the stomach to the intestinal tract, leading lead to transform into lead phosphate, which is less soluble and reduces bioaccessibility.

Root hairs have what kind of roles in absorption and transport of water and minerals?
Leni [432]

Explanation:

Root hairs are found in the plant it is a hair-like structure present on the surface of the root tip and Root hairs have large surface area that increase the absorption rate of water and minerals.

Water is absorbed by root hair cells through the process called Osmosis and Minerals ions is  absorbed  root hairs by the process called active transport.

The function of root hair is to collect the minerals and waters present in the soil and then transfer these nutrients and water through roots to different parts of the plant.

Virty [35]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Interphase  is the uniform phase for all cells division'. It  signifies the  begin of any cell cycle division. it is the period of prolong rest by the cells to prepare for the long journey of cell division. It involved replication of DNA, of organelles to be distributed in the daughter cells,   accumulation  of  food resources .,

It  is made up of the G1, for normal  growth of cells and function of cells, doubling of organelles numbers.

S=synthesis stage,   for DNA and genetic material replications

and the G2 phase  growth resumption and  preparation of cells division.

Therefore since all cells must undergo  Interphase and carry out all the above processes  prior to cell division, this stage(interphase) must be uniform to all cells.
