Answer:
a. Endocytosis involves the opsonization of a receptor and its ligand in clathrin-coated vesicles, along with the inward budding of the plasma membrane. In exocytosis, waste material is enveloped in a membrane that fuses with the interior of the plasma membrane via attachment proteins.
Explanation:
Endocytosis: entails the external binding of a ligand to its receptor which is located on the external side of the plasma membrane. The membrane buds inwardly for internalization to occur.
Exocytosis: material that has been processed inside the cell is transported by vesicles which fuse to the internal side of the plasma membrane and ultimately transported to the outside of the cell.
Answer: CHANNEL PROTEINS provide openings in the plasma membrane for substances to flow through without changing structure, and CARRIER PROTEINS allow passage of substances through the plasma membrane after undergoing a subtle change in shape.
Explanation: They are described thus:
A channel protein is a protein that allows the transport of specific substances across a cell membrane.
Carrier proteins are proteins that carry substances from one side of a biological membrane to the other. Many carrier proteins are found in a cell’s membrane, though they may also be found in the membranes of internal organelles such as the mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleolus, and others.
Answer: Vacuole
Explanation:
The vacuole occupies on average 50% of the cell volume, oscillating between 5 and 95%. It is a fluid-filled, membrane-wrapped gallbladder. The vacuoles perform numerous functions because, in addition to accumulating nutrients, metabolites, and catabolites, they serve as deposits of specific substances such as proteins, opium, dairy and also various poisonous or unpleasant taste substances, which protect the plant against its predators.
Vacuoles are structures that participate in the maintenance of cell turgor, which pulls the cytoplasm against the cell wall as air tightens the air chamber against the tire. When water is lacking, the plant wilts due to decreased intracellular turgor.
Answer: There are many different types of snapdragons, but the most common type is the Antirrhinum majus.
