One function of the central vacuole in plant cells is facilitating cell growth: the central vacuole absorbs water and increases

in size, expanding the volume and size of the plant cell while doing so. animal cells, however, do not grow by this method. what is an essential difference between animal and plant cells that could explain how a plant cell can withstand this expansion of the central vacuole?

The plant cell is able to withstand the expansion of the central vacuole as the result of the rigid cell wall which it possess. The plant cell wall provide a rigid structure which support the activities of the cell.

The brain and spinal cord begin as an embryonic structure called the neural plate. True or False
Simora [160]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Ans;true

The neural plate is one of the features exclusive to the embryonic development of chordates. It is located dorsally to the notochord. The neural plate is the rudimentary nervous system of the embryo. During early development ,the neural plate is formed from the ectodermal layer . It undergoes changes in the position and arrangement of it's cells to form the brain and the spinal cord which comprises the central nervous system. It forms tissues and eventually organs by the deepening of the groove which forms ridges which eventually folds and fuses to form the neural tube . The tube differentiates into the prosencephalon, the mesencephalon and the rhombencephalon, from which the organs are formed

rjkz [21]
The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids that may result in new gene combinations on the chromosomes is called the random assortment. It involves formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on different pairs of homologous chromosomes by the passage according to the laws of probability of one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes into each gamete independently to each other pair.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: irritability and conductivity. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the sodium potassium pump. This system moves sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative, not only due to the active transport system but also because of intracellular proteins, which remain negative due to the intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells with the capacity to transmit information between one another and also with other tissues in the body. This information is transmitted thanks to the release of substances called <em>neurotransmitters</em>, and this transmission is possible due to the <em>electrical properties </em>of the neurons.

For the neurons (and other excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells) to be capable of conducting the changes in their membranes' voltages, they need to have a<em> resting membrane potential</em>, which consists of a specific voltage that is given because of the electrical nature of both the inside and the outside of the cell. <u>The inside of the cell is negatively charged, while the outside is positively charged</u> - this is what generates the resting membrane potential. When the membrane voltage changes because the inside of the cell is becoming less negative, the neuron is being excited and - if this excitation reaches a threshold - an action potential will be fired. But how does the voltage changes? This happens because the distribution of ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids is very dissimilar and when the sodium channels in the cell membrane are opened (because of an external stimulus), sodium enters the cell rapidly to balance out the difference in this ion concentration. The sudden influx of this positively-charged ion is what makes the inside of the neuron become less negative. This event is called <em>depolarization of the membrane</em>.
