<span>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+.</span>

<span>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.</span>

Answer:

All organisms require sulfur as a macro-nutrient. (Ans. E)

Explanation:

Sulfur is necessary for all living things. It is taken up in the form of sulfate from the soil and sea water by the plants, and algae.

Sulfur is known as the essential nutrient for plant growth. Sulfur playing various important role in plants. About 90% of the sulfur is absorbed by the plants for the purpose of amino acids synthesis, known as the building blocks of proteins. Sulfur is important for the enzyme which is helping in the formation of the chlorophyll molecule. Sulfur is essential for the synthesis of oil crops.

In human body sulfur playing some essential role such as amino acid production which is converting into proteins and producing enzymes. Sulfur is important for insulin production, insulin allow the cells to use glucose as energy. Sulfur is found in most important antioxidant known as glutathione, which helping in the inhibition of oxidation of the other molecules and preventing from cell damage. Collagen provide skin strength and structure, sulfur is important for collagen synthesis as well.

When a person is exercising the body needs to deliver increased amounts of oxygen to the muscles. Which componentes f the blood

ad-work [718]

In human blood, there is a compound inside the RBCs called haemoglobin which ensures that the muscle will receive enough oxygen during exercise.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In human blood, the red blood corpuscles contain the haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a iron chelated compound containing porphyrin ring and a globin tail which can establish co-ordinate covalent bond with both oxygen and carbon dioxide. The bonding element depends on the concentration of these two gases. In lungs, where the oxygen concentration is more than carbon dioxide, the haemoglobin bonds with oxygen and brings it to the tissues where carbon dioxide concentration is more. This makes the haemoglobin to release oxygen and bond with carbon dioxide which is brought back to lungs. This is the process by which each and every tissue including the muscles recieve oxygen.

In muscles there is Myoglobin which is another iron-porphyrin compound which has several times more affinity for oxygen than haemoglobin. This helps to extract more oxygen from haemoglobin in muscles.
