When a potassium ion (K+) moves from the soil into the vacuole of a cell on the surface of a root, itmust pass through several c

ellular structures. Which of the following correctly describes the order inwhich these structures will be encountered by the ion?
A) plasma membrane → primary cell wall → cytoplasm → vacuole
B) secondary cell wall → plasma membrane → primary cell wall → cytoplasm → vacuole
C) primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole
D) primary cell wall → plasma membrane → lysosome → cytoplasm → vacuole

Answer:

C. primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole.

Explanation:

Every molecule or particle which enters into a cell, it must pass through several cellular structure at different level means it also depends on the type of molecule like size, shape, and nature (characteristics). On the surface of root cell, potassium ion pass through the primary cell wall which is most outer layer of plant cell, then it passes the second layer called plasma membrane, in the plasma membrane cytoplasm is present and when potassium ion reaches the cytoplasm then it will enter into the vacuole present in cytoplasm.

Answer:

C) primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole

Explanation:

Structurally from  the soil into the roots, the structure of the root cells is such a way that  k+ enters with water through the primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole of  the root hairs, and move through apoplastic and sympathic pathways from  the root hairs .

From the root hairs they moved in mass flow in  the xylem vessels. They reentered apoplastic and sympathic pathways again to reach different parts of the plants.

Due to the facts that K+ in the roots cells are of lower water potential,soil water K+  can also move by active transport and facilitated diffusion  from the soil into the (primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole roots,) and later switch to apoplastic and sympathic pathways to reach plant parts.

<span>1: global warming can harm animals and plants in the ecosystem (even ourselves). global warming is when you litter and throw trash on the ground, and also the more trash that is sent to the dump can cause global warming to get worse. Trash in the ocean can harm animals, they can eat it and get sick, or get it caught on them. It makes our earth become warmer and energy levels change. It can also hurt our atmosphere.

How does the hormone secretin help in digestion?
Bond [772]
Answer: it stimulates the pancreas and the liver to produce secretions. 


There are a lot of hormone in making a good digestion and is responsible in the process to function properly. Secretin stimulate bicarbonate (base) from the liver and pancreas to promote normal growth and maintenance of the pancreas. It also counteracts the blood glucose that triggers the increase of insulin release and oral glucose intake. It also reduce the gastric juice secreted by the stomach along the digestion.

Parasitism

Explanation:

This relationship in which the heartworms gets nutrient from the host and in the process, the host eventually dies from infestation is known as parasitism.

  • The organism that houses the heartworm is called the host
  • The heartworm in itself is called the parasite.
  • Parasitism is a positive - negative relationship in which one organism feeds on the other and causes harm to it in the process.
  • Plasmodium falciparum is the parasite of malaria in man.
  • In commensalism, one organism depends on the other without causing harm to it. Example is cattle and egret.
  • Mutualism is a positive - positive relationship in which both organism derives benefits from the other. Example is lichen.
