Answer:

e. They must maintain a pH of 7 in order to function properly.

Explanation:

The pH in lysosome is between 4,5 and 5 because that is the optimal pH for hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in hydrolysis.

The lysosome maintains its pH by pumping in protons from the cytosol via proton pumps and chloride ion channels. Vacuolar-ATPases are responsible for transport of protons and they require ATP hydrolysis for their function. The transport of chloride ions is performed by Cl−/H+ antiporter.

Edwin Hubble used the Doppler effect to determine that the universe is expanding. After years of scientific research and observation of different celestial bodies through a telescope, Hubble found that the light from distant galaxies was shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. This red shift indicates that stars are moving away from us and from each other. This phenomenon is called the 'expansion of the universe', also known as the big band theory.

Which of the following is a function of the lymphatic system? Check all that apply 1) Recover fluid from the interstium to the b
nikitadnepr [17]

1 & 2

The lymph system acts like blood vessels only that instead of blood, they carry lymph. Just like certain organs as associated with the circulatory system like heart, the lymph system has such organs like the spleen and thymus.

Explanation:

When blood passes through capillaries, the blood pressure causes the blood plasma to filter through the capillary walls. This fluid then gets into the extracellular spaces of the cells and tissues and nourishes the cells. This fluid in which the cells ‘bath’ in is called interstitial fluid.  Excess interstitial fluid flows back through the lymphatic systems and back to the blood through the subclavian veins of the thoracic duct.

The lymph system has several functions. It is responsible for the removal of foreign material like bacteria because the lymph nodes have 'meshwork' that ‘sieves’ the lymph fluid and immune cells destroy bacteria and viruses.
