Describe the difference between the retina's two photoreceptor cells.

Biology
1 answer:
Lisa [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are two types of photoreceptors in the human retina, rods and cones. Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). ... Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity.

Cells must be alive to use energy and do work dose passive transport occur in a cell that is dead? Why or why not?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

<h3>Yes, Passive transport can occur in dead cells.</h3>

Explanation:

For passive transport to occur, a concentration gradient has to be formed across a permeable or semi-permeable membrane. If the cell membrane of the dead cell, which is a semipermeable membrane, is intact and a concentration gradient has formed on both sides, passive transport can occur.

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of solute molecules  across the membrane. Passive transport will allow solute molecules to travel from the higher concentration of the solute to the lower concentration across a membrane till equilibrium is reached, that is, both the sides of the membrane has equal concentration of the solute.

The transport of the solvent can occur as well, from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Proteins are synthesized from ________ during synthesis reactions. nucleotides amino acids glycerol and fatty acids monosacchari
ANTONII [103]
I believe proteins are synthesized from amino acids during synthesis reactions.
Protein synthesis starts with transcription of mRNA from a DNA gene in the nucleus.Various types of RNA may have been synthesized using the appropriate DNA. The RNAs migrate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where the process of translation takes place. During the process the mRNA with the codons (three nucleotide bases that code for a specific amino acids) is interpreted by the anticodons in the tRNA , thus forming amino acids with together forms polypeptides and then proteins are formed.

What is the relevance of osmosis to the root hair cells?​
Trava [24]

Answer:

absorb water from the soil by osmosis.

Explanation:

Root hair cells

Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient. Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption
