Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Sodium and potassium ions are essential for muscle contractions of the heart
____ [38]

Answer:

1) By breaking of ATP to ADP

2) The sodium and potassium ions are transported using active transport process!

Explanation:

In cell, the movement of ions across the membrane at the expense of energy is known as Active Transport. The energy is used in the form of ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) that gets converted to ADP(Adenosine diphosphate) during transport. It takes the ions from high concentration to low concentration. ADP contains one less phosphate group that ATP, as their name indicates and plays a prime role in the flow of energy to the cells.

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Responding to the environment

Explanation:

Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.

Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.

Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.
