A rapid mechanism is thought to govern the localization of AQP5 in response to changes in extracellular osmolarity. If this mech

anism is independent of both PKA activity and S156 phosphorylation, which of the following will most likely be observed?
(A) HEK cells exposed to the most hypertonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
(C) HEK cells exposed to the most isotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Answer:

(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Explanation:

The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.  

Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.

Why are endemic organisms in greater danger of becoming extinct?
Liula [17]

Answer:

They are the species which are found only in a particular area. They can be a plant, animal or microorganism. They are at great danger of becoming extinct due to the following reasons: - As they are restricted to a particular area so loss of their habitat is the major reason which could lead to extinction.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The genotype of the offspring would be heterogeneous.

Explanation:

In four O'clock plants in case of incomplete dominance,  no colour is dominant. They are existing in an intermediate character / a new character. This new colour is pink, not white or red.

The white and red colour flowers are wild type and homogenous type. When the cross occurs and incomplete dominance happen, the F1 flower would be pink one but heterogeneous.

Because according to Mendel's deviation, there are such character appears where neither dominant nor the recessive are the only expressive traits. This has seen in incomplete dominance.

In codominance, which is the another Mendelian deviation, where both the characters has expressed. For example the rose flower having both red and white dots in it. The expression two colours / dominant and recessive characters in the flower is called codominance. Because both expresses at the same time. This codominance genotype is also heterogeneous.
