Select the correct mechanism of stomatal opening and closing.A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wal

ls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open the stomatal pore when turgid.B) The cell walls of guard cells are thickened on the side of the stomatal opening and the thinner walls bow outward when the guard cells become turgid, to close the stomata.C) Light stimulates proton pumps in the plasma membrane of the guard cells, causing them to lose K+ and become flaccid.

Answer:

A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open when the stomatal pore when turgid.

Explanation:

Stomata are pores on the surface of leaves that work as valves controlling the gas exchange in plants; they are bordered by a pair of curved guarded cells in charge of opening and closing by increasing or decreasing the stomatal pore area.

Guard cells walls structure consist of a combination of stiff cellulose microfibrils oriented along the circumference of the cells and a softer matrix material which makes it possible for stomata pore to open by increasing water pressure (turgor).  

Option B states that when guard cells become turgid, they close the stomata. This is a false statement as we explained before.

Option C states that light (known stimulant for opening stomata) causes guard cells to become flaccid which is also false. Guard cells become turgid in order to open the stomatal pore.

Option A is correct.

Answer:

A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open the stomatal pore when turgid.

Explanation:

The opening of the stomata happens when the cells become turgid. This is because the radial orientation of the cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of the guard cells causes them to curve outward and open the stomatal pore when turgid.

On the other hand, stoma closure occurs when cells become flabby and withered. all of this, through the osmotic movement that determines the need for a cell to become wilted or turgid.

Through the process of opening and closing stomata, plants are able to control the entry and exit of gases in their organisms, without the need to lose a lot of water.

The stoma are formed by the guard cells and the stole.

Area measuring 5 m² contains 50 earthworms what is the population density of the earth worms
Darina [25.2K]

The density of a population of living organisms is usually measured in individuals on one square km. In here we have 50 earthworms on an area of 5 square meters, thus we have 10 earthworms on every square meter. In order to get to the result we need to see first how many square meters there are in one square km. One square km has one thousand meters of length and one thousand meters of width so:

1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 km²

Since we established that we have 10 earthworms on every one square meter, we just need to multiply the number of square meters with the amount of earthworms on every square meter:

1,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000

So we have a density of 10 million earthworms per square km.

The sliding filament model is our best explanation of how a skeletal muscle shortens. Based on your knowledge of the structure o
Veseljchak [2.6K]

A sacromere is a segment between two adjacent Z discs and are essential for the striated structure of the cardiac and skeletal muscles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Z disc is surrounded by the I band made of thin filament called actin. The I band is followed by the A band made up of thick filament called myosin. When the muscles contract the actin and the myosin become superimposed/overlapped.

The sliding filament model explains the contraction of the sacromere in which the Z discs move closer due to the overlapping of the thin and thick filaments. Thus the I band moves close to the A band which remain the same length as shown in figure.
