Where does diffusion take place

1 answer:

5 0

The diffusion of chemicals and gases in and out of cells is an essential activity in human organs. Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas occurs in the lungs. Diffusion of water, salts, and waste products occurs in the kidneys. Diffusion of calcium from food into cells occurs in the intestines.

What type of diffusion?

Rotenone is a poison commonly added to insecticides. Rotenone binds tightly with one of the electron carrier molecules in the el

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Rotenone is a broad spectrum pesticide and insecticide and is also considered as a non-selective piscicide.

The action mechanism of the rotenone has been described below -

It interferes with the electron transport chain which occurs in mitochondria of the cells. Here the transfer of electrons from complex I to the ubiquinone is inhibited by the rotenone. As a result, ATP formation with the help of NADH is also inhibited. When electron transport fails, oxygen in the cell is reduced to oxygen radical which further damages DNA and other components present in the mitochondria.

How many new cells are produced from each parent cell during meiosis?

Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is 4 new (daughter) cells.

In meiosis, it produces 4 daughter cells which are genetically different from both the parent and the other daughter cells.
the parent cell first duplicates its chromosomes, just like mitosis (the kind of division that leads to 2 genetically identical daughter cells) . Then it divides, leading to 2 genetically identical daughter cells. But this does not end here. The 2 daughter cells further divides into total of 4 daughter cells, but without duplicating the DNA. That's why, the daughter cells has different DNA materials.
These daughter cells has half of the parents chromosomes, and we call them haploid.

Haploid cells are usually common in gametes. When an organism reproduces sexually, 2 gametes fuse together and leads to diversity.

Each of the following phrases describes the structure, function, or regulation of either the hypothalamus, posterior pituitary,

juin [17]

Answer:

1) Hypothalmus: .D) Synthesizes some hormones that are released into blood vessels bound for another gland - G) Synthesizes oxytocin and ADH - H) Integrates nervous and endocrine systems.

2) Posterior Pituitary Gland: A) Releases oxytocin - F) Is an extension of the Hypothalmus

3) Anterior Pituitary Gland: B) Synthesizes and releases PRL - C) Synthesizes and releases TSH - E) Regulated by hormones released into portal blood vessels

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is the source of at least nine hormones that act stimulating on inhibiting other hormones secretion.

The first hypothalamic hormone discovered is the thyrotropin-releasing hormone, TRH, that stimulates the thyrotropin release by the hypophysis. Another important hormone is the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, GnRH, that controls the release of gonadotrophic hormones, such as LH and FSH. The somatostatin hormone inhibits the release of somatotrophin hormone from the hypophysis. The oxytocin and the antidiuretic hormone are also secreted and released by the hypothalamus and collected by the posterior hypophysis from where they are then released again to the system.

The hypothalamus secretes hormones directly into capillaries forward to the anterior hypophysis. Oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone, instead, go to the posterior hypophysis through nerve fibers.

The hypophysis gland, also known as the pituitary gland, is located under the hypothalamus which controls the hypophysis. It is considered to be the master gland as it acts as a source of hormones that stimulates different organs. The hypophysis is conformed of three lobules: anterior, intermediate, and posterior.

The anterior lobule releases somatotrophin, prolactin, trophic hormones such as thyrotropin or TSH, ACTH, and gonadotrophins such as FSH and LH.

The posterior lobule collects and release the hormones secreted by the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and ADH.

The hypophysis and the hypothalamus are both controlled by other parts of the nervous system.
