dimaraw [331]

Answer:

C. K+ ions flow out the the guard cells and water flows out the cells.

Explanation:

The turgidity of the guard cells allows the opening and closing of the stomata. This is especially necessary when it comes to water conservation in plants. In order for the cells to become turgid or flaccid, there must be the influx and out ward movement of water via osmosis.

In order for this the occur the osmotic pressure of the cellular environment must change and this is done by changing the solute concentration.

The pumping in of K+ ions out the cell allows the solute concentration to decrease and this in turn encourages the movement of water across a concentration gradient through a semi-permiable membrane.

The water leaves the guard cells and they become flaccid. This causes the stomata to be covered.

What processes allows cells to concentrate material that is present only in very small amounts in the extracellular fluid?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

receptor-mediated endocytosis

Explanation:

  • A selective mechanism that is responsible for endocytosis and transcytosis of the small amounts of materials that are present in the extracellular fluid is known as receptor-mediated endocytosis.
  • The various molecules that can be taken up by this process include hormones, metabolites, proteins as well as certain viruses.
  • This process is also known as clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
  • In this process, the receptors that are present on the surface of the proteins are captured by a molecule which is the target site for the protein and internalized by membrane internalization (endocytosis).
  • The vesicle formed by endocytosis is a clathrin coated vesicle.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

For example, if the seeds that the bird needs to eat is bigger, over time it will adapt to get a bigger beak to eat the bigger seed. The birds that have adapted reproduce and soon more and more birds that have a bigger beak for the bigger seed are more common. If the type of food available changes than the bird will most likely adapt to eat that food.
