Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect?

Biology

vazorg [7]4 years ago

Answer:

Changes in the pressure and/ or movement

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptor are the receptor cells that are sensitive to any changes in the pressure and/ or movement. Proprioceptors of the muscles are mechanoreceptors that detect the degree of muscle relaxation and thereby, give information about position of limbs. Mechanoreceptors are also present in semicircular canals to maintain the body's equilibrium as well as in cochlea of ear to serve in hearing.

Compare and contrast the mechanisms of getting material across the plasma membranes of cells. Tells me what the mechanisms are i
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Materials get transported from the cell by some mechanisms such as Active Transport, Passive Transport, Diffusion, etc.

Explanation:

Active Transport :

It is a process by which, materials are transported from the extracellular membrane to the intracellular membrane with the help of ATP. It has a few types :  

Primary Active Transport :  

This system is standing upon the sodium-potassium pump. It moves out   Na⁺ from the cell and allows the entry of K⁺ into the cell. In this process ATP is a source of energy. E.g, Sodium-potassium pump.

Secondary Active Transport :

It is mainly standing upon Primary Active Transport. In this process, the main key point is the concentration gradient. There is already a concentration gradient set up by the primary active transport. This system uses that up and moves other substances against their own gradient concentration. E.g, assuming, there is a high concentration of sodium outside the cell,  if a route such as a channel or a carrier protein is open then sodium ions will move into the cell.  In this transport system, some cotransporters are used who move in the sodium ion into the sodium gradient.  

Passive transport :

It is a process by which, substances cross the plasma membrane without acquiring any energy from the cell. Here, no energy is needed because the substances are moving from higher concentration to its lower concentration. E.g, cell membrane or plasma membrane works as a permeable or semipermeable membrane.  

Diffusion :

It is the movement of a substance across a membrane, due to the concentration gradient, without any help from other molecules. E.g, movement of the gaseous molecule from cell to cell.

Answer:

D) Insulin

Explanation:

Insulin is an organic molecule, specifically a protein molecule, which is produced by the pancreas. It is an enzyme that regulates the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin carries out this function by converting excess glucose in the blood into a stored form called GLYCOGEN.

The glycogen, which is stored in the liver, is converted back to glucose when the need arises for glucose in the blood. Hence, INSULIN is that large organic molecule (protein) that helps to maintain glucose levels in the blood and is released from the pancreas.

Why is a countercurrent system a more efficient system for gas exchange?
solong [7]

Answer:

A countercurrent system a more efficient system for gas exchange. Because water is viscous, this would require a lot of energy, so the counter-current system is a more efficient way of increasing the amount of oxygen diffusing into the blood. The unidirectional flow of water is another advantage.

I hope you helped^_^
