The answer would most likely be sodium because carbon is a plants food, phosphorus is a nutrient in soil, hydrogen is air, but sodium does not have a place in a plant:)

Answer: The ansewer is Sodium (Na+)

Explanation: The cell wall of the plant cells is composed mostly of cellulose, which is a polysaccharide composed mostly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and it has a linear and complex configuration. On the other hand, the cell membrane is composed of phospholipids, in the configuration of lipid bilayer. Phospholipids are molecules that have a polar head (where phosphorus is found) and a hydrophobic (lipid) tail. Carbon and hydrogen are also found in non-polar or hydrophobic tails. Sodium on the other hand is an Ion (Na +) that is mainly dissolved in water, so it is expected to find it mostly in the lumen or outside the cell. Sodium plays an important role in the transport of some substances through the cell membrane, but their amounts cannot be very high, because of being very concentrated, this can cause plasmolysis or cell destruction.

What is the relationship between diabetes, glucose in food, saliva, microvilli, blood transport of glucose, beta cells of pancre
kkurt [141]

Hi

There is an enzyme called amylase which is present is saliva and helps in the breaks down carbohydrates present in our food thereby converting it to glucose. When the glucose reach in body’s small intestines, there are some air ball like structures called microvilli that absorb the glucose the into the bloodstream.  

This glucose present in bloodstream triggers the beta cells present in the pancreas and stimulate the production insulin. As we know that, the diabetes in actual is the lack of insulin receptors or insulin. However, if there is glucose in the blood but enough amount of insulin is not present, it will limit the uptake of glucose and instead a part of kidney called glomerulus will take the glucose from blood stream. The kidney will ultimately filter out this glucose when the person will urinate. This causes wastage of body’s glucose and also causes organ and tissue damage to the person suffering from it.


Hope it help! :)

How is the density of ocean water affected by temperature and water?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

There are two main factors that make ocean water more or less dense than about 1027 kg/m3: the temperature of the water and the salinity of the water. Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water.
