I think Autorhythmic fibers are fibers that are self excitable or on their own for example some cardiac muscle. They  repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger heart contractions.They continue to stimulate a heart to beat even when it is removed from the body. In comparison to contractile fibers, autorhythmic fibers are self excitable and do not require nervous system stimulation to trigger contractions. Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potentials of -90mV, when a contractile fibers reaches threshold by action potential, the voltage gated fast sodium ions channels will open.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C) primary cell wall --> plasma membrane --> cytoplasm --> tonoplast

Explanation:

When a potassium ion moves from the ground into a vacuole of a plant cell, it must pass through the different structures that are part of it.

First, the outermost layer of the cell is the cell wall. Plant cells may have a primary and a secondary wall, but the latter is not always present. The primary wall is always located outwards (and in the case of having a secondary wall, it will be located between the primary wall and the plasma membrane).

Then, inside the cell wall, we will find the plasma membrane (also called plasmalemma).

When crossing the membrane, the ion will be in the cytoplasm of the cell and will be directed towards the vacuole, which is surrounded by its membrane called tonoplast. The vacuole is an organelle that has no definite shape, although it is always surrounded by the tonoplast, and it contains different substances such as water and enzymes.

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants synthesis energy using the energy of the sun, carbon dioxide and water.  Photosynthesis is very important to life it keeps most plants alive (autotrophs), and heterotrophs eat autotrophs to help them het energy. An autotroph is an organism that synthesis its own energy and heterotroph is an organism that gets it energy by digesting other organisms.
