For transpiration, water helps in water loss reduction and water movement throughout the plant. Thermoregulation indotherm it helps in evaporative cooling. In the case of plasma membrane structure it helps in maintenance of phospholipids.

From where we can see that water has various properties such as polarity, specific heat, water potential, ability to move, cohesion,etc. Water is present in all the states that is solid liquid and gas in the earth.

The most common state in which water is found is liquid. Water also helps in movement of object from one place to another such as nutrients, minerals, enzymes etc.

Answer:

<em>Transpiration is the process that occurs in plant cells where loss of water takes place from the stomata of the leaves.</em>

Explanation:

This process helps in maintaining the internal temperature of the plants. In deserts, the leaves of the plants fall off or are very small because of the high temperatures and low rainfall.  

Endotherms are those animals that regulate their body temperature through sweat, Sweating is the process that releases water and dissolved salts to remove excess heat from the body.

QUESTION 1
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

According to the sliding-filament model of contraction, the muscle contraction occur due to the myosin heads propel the actin myofilaments toward the center of the sarcomere. This pulls the Z disks closer together, shortening  sarcomere and the entire muscle

Explanation:

In the muscle fiber there are two proteins that facilitate the process of contraction, myosin and actin. Myosin is thicker and more abundant than actin, and its interaction is responsible for the process of muscle contraction.

Both molecules, myosin and actin, form bonds -called cross bridges- where the myosin heads produce the mobilization of actin towards the center of the sarcomere. Z discs are associated with actin myofibrils, so they come close, and promote the shortening of the sarcomere.

This process requires the action of calcium ions, which depolarize the muscle cell and consume energy in the form of ATP.

It should be noted that the myosin and actin molecules do not change their length, but their action causes the muscle fibers to shorten during contraction.
