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
E) primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → secondary cell wall → 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.

What is the mean arterial pressure if some has for 150/90 blood pressure
Leto [7]

Answer: If you are 80 years and older, it should be less than 150/90 (“150 over 90”). In general, the lower your blood pressure, the better. A blood pressure reading of less than 90/60 is normal as long as you feel okay.

Food security

Lack of awareness/ education

Cultural influences

Lack of family planning

Malicious intent to change demographics

Immigration

Perception of marriage & family.

Explanation:

This rapid population growth has an adverse effect on the natural resources and quality of life.

However, overpopulation has a deleterious effect on the environment due to the current lifestyle.

There would be rampant exploitation of natural resources, excess human waste accumulation, chances of epidemics, etc.

Besides, it would also lead to socio-economic problems like poverty, malnutrition, violence, corruption, etc.

Human overpopulation occurs if the number of people in a group exceeds the carrying capacity of the region occupied by that group.

List several processes in cell metabolism where diffusion is important
fiasKO [112]
<span>One process wherein diffusion is important is the concentration of salt within a cell. When the salt levels are too high within the cell, salt molecules are moving via diffusion to a region of lower concentration. Another process is the movement of carbon dioxide in plant cells, where CO2 moves from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.</span>

The A159E mutation causes an A amino acid to be replaced with an E amino acid (their structures are shown here). What effects do
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Due to hydrophilic nature of E amino acid, it will make it self to be exposed on protein surface and will disrupt the structure and potentially the function of troponin.

Explanation:

Since the E amino acid is hydrophilic, it will try to be exposed on the surface of the protein and thus will disrupt the tertiary structure and potentially the function of troponin.
