A positively charged ion is called cation.
A negatively charged ion is called anion.
A salt is formed by the ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.
pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
Answer:
A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.
B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.
C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.
Answer:
<h2>Additionally, environmental pollution is triggered by the introduction of harmful materials, such as gaseous pollutants, toxic metals, and particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere; sewage, industrial effluents, agricultural runoffs, and electronic wastes into water bodies; and activities such as mining, ...</h2>
They bond together creating compounds
Answer:
Explanation:
One major characteristic used to identify bacterial species is by Gram staining. This makes bacteria to be classified into two broad classes; Gram positive bacteria (appear purple after stain) and Gram negative bacteria (appear pink after stain).
Another characteristic used is the presence or absence of capsule.
Other characteristics include there motility (which can be due to the presence of flagella), bonding tendency (which can be individually or in pairs) and also pathogenic bacteria can be classified as intracellular or extracellular bacteria.
