Potassium is actively transported into and out of the vacuoles in the guard cells.

There are different kind of potassium transport channels (KAT1, KAT2) that transport K+ inside and outside the vacuole of the guard cell, by the use of ATP (energy) and H+.

Potassium is actively transported into and out of the vacuoles in the guard cells. The sodium-potassium pump is responsible for the process of moving sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane which is an active transport process involving the hydrolysis of ATP to provide necessary energy required. Accumulation of potassium ions in the guard cells causes turgidity which keeps the stomata open.

In an Ecosystem Which Would Have a Larger Population, Producers or Primary Consumers?? Explain.

Svet_ta [14]

Producers, because according to food pyramid, only 10% of energy is passed onto the next layer, where the other 90 is passed off as heat, so there must be more producer in order to sustain the ecosystem.

The appearance of a fertile, polyploid individual within a population of diploid organisms is a possible source of new species.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Sympatric speciation.

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is a type of speciation that occurs when 2 types of groups of the common species live in the common geographic location, but they grow differently until they can no longer interbreed and are known as different species.

This speciation can occur in different types of species such as bacteria, the apple maggot fly, and cichlid fish, but it is difficult to tell when this speciation is happening or has occurred in nature. There are four types of speciation occurs:

1) Symmetric

2) Allopathic

3) Parapatric

4) Peripatric.
