Answer:

Materials get transported from the cell by some mechanisms such as Active Transport, Passive Transport, Diffusion, etc.

Explanation:

Active Transport :

It is a process by which, materials are transported from the extracellular membrane to the intracellular membrane with the help of ATP. It has a few types :  

Primary Active Transport :  

This system is standing upon the sodium-potassium pump. It moves out   Na⁺ from the cell and allows the entry of K⁺ into the cell. In this process ATP is a source of energy. E.g, Sodium-potassium pump.

Secondary Active Transport :

It is mainly standing upon Primary Active Transport. In this process, the main key point is the concentration gradient. There is already a concentration gradient set up by the primary active transport. This system uses that up and moves other substances against their own gradient concentration. E.g, assuming, there is a high concentration of sodium outside the cell,  if a route such as a channel or a carrier protein is open then sodium ions will move into the cell.  In this transport system, some cotransporters are used who move in the sodium ion into the sodium gradient.  

Passive transport :

It is a process by which, substances cross the plasma membrane without acquiring any energy from the cell. Here, no energy is needed because the substances are moving from higher concentration to its lower concentration. E.g, cell membrane or plasma membrane works as a permeable or semipermeable membrane.  

Diffusion :

It is the movement of a substance across a membrane, due to the concentration gradient, without any help from other molecules. E.g, movement of the gaseous molecule from cell to cell.

Lipophilic hormones function by activating cAMP.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Water soluble hormones associate with the G protein of cAMP. This G protein is intra-cellular i.e found inside the cell.  

However in case of lipid derived hormones, the hormone has to diffuse through the cell across the plasma membrane to bind to DNA or the intra-cellular receptors.This regulates the gene transcription and induces protein production that affects the cell functioning for a long time.

Hence, option B is correct

▪️Chapter - The fundamental unit of life
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The difference between Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell are;

\begin{array}{lll}&\underline {\text {Prokaryotic}}& \underline {\text {Eukaryotic}}\\ \\ \text {Nuclear \ membrane \ and \ nucleus} & \text {No \ true \ nucleus \ or}    & \text {Has \ a \ true \ nucleus} \\& \text {nuclear \  membrane} & \text {nucleoli \ and \ nuclear \ membrane}\\\\ \text {Membrane \ bound \ cell \ organelle} & \text {None &Present} \\\\ \text {Chromosome \ number \ and \ shape} & \text {One} & \text {Several, more \ than \ one} \end{array}

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells

The plasma membranes surround prokaryotic cells, however, within their cytoplasm, there are no organelles bound to the membrane and there is no nucleus in the prokaryotic cell which differentiates it from the eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells also have plasma membranes, ribosomes and cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, such as chloroplast, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus which together differentiates it from a prokaryotic cell

Choose the best answer to complete the sentence. Directional selection can be distinguished from disruptive selection by _______
Vinvika [58]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Directional selection can be distinguished from disruptive selection by the elimination of extreme variations of traits. Directional selection is a natural selection where an extreme phenotype is favored than others.

Over 95% of incoming UV-B radiation is absorbed in the stratosphere. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
kramer

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The stratosphere is the layer of the earth’s atmosphere which is above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.

The stratosphere contains about 90 percent of the ozone layer. The stratosphere is made up of ozone layers which helps in the absorption of about 95 percent of the ultraviolet rays from the sun and converting to heat.

This is the reason why depletion of the ozone layer found in the stratosphere gives rise to global warming.
