In a fern, the prothallus is the gametophyte true or false

Biology

spin [16.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is option True.

Explanation:

Ferns are the seedless tracheophytes belonging to group pteridophytes of the plant kingdom. The life cycle of a fern is divided into two phases: the haploid gametophytic stage and diploid sporophytic stage.  

The gametophyte is formed from the sporophytic spores after they are germinated on a suitable substratum. Sporophyte after germination forms a bisexual heart-shaped structure with no vascular tissues so uses rhizoids for attachment. This formed gametophyte is known as "prothallus".

Thus, the gametophyte structure is known as prothallus is true.

How do the hormones of the pancreas maintain homeostasis?
faust18 [17]
Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.

GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.

INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
