Answer:
Aquaporins acts as water channels that conduct water to and fro cell membrane during osmosis
Explanation:
Osmosis is a type of cellular transport in which water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane. The osmotic process occurs with the aid of selective protein channels called AQUAPORINS. They allow only the passage of water and prevent that of ions and solutes.
Aquaporins help in the osmotic process by creating a channel for the passage of water molecules across the membrane. In other words, aquaporins facilitate the speedy movement of water molecules across membranes via osmosis, which is normally slow due to the POLARITY OF WATER MOLECULES.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B) "stabilizing selection".
Explanation:
Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection at which mean traits are favored by nature instead of extreme values. In this case at which sparrows with average-sized wings survive severe storms better than those with longer or shorter wings illustrates stabilizing selection. It its believed that this type of selection is the most commonly found in nature, since most traits have no extreme values in most of the species.
It has a semi-arid oceanic climate.

Answer:
Photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration releases carbon from the atmosphere
Explanation:
This is the role of the reactions in the carbon cycle.
The cytoplasm is a fluid substance that fills every living cell which is enclosed by the cell membrane. This substance is mainly composed of water and proteins.
The functions that take place within the eukaryotic cytoplasm are diverse:
- Location for most metabolic pathways. Except for the metabolic pahtways in cell nucleus and cytoplasmatic organelles, all metabolic functions (e.g., synthesis of biomolecules, growth, etc) occur in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm contain enzymes (i.e., proteins) to carry out different chemical reactions.
- Location for organelles that house many of the metabolic pathways for the cell. For example, the synthesis of ATP (the energy coin of the cells) is carried out in the mitochondria, which are organelles found in the cytoplasm.
- Location for the cytoskeleton that gives integrity to the cell. The cytoplasm contains all of the three types of filaments of the cytoskeleton (i.e., microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments) which provides structural support to the cells.
On the other hand, in plant cells, the cell wall is located outside the cell membrane.
