Answer:
Sodium-Potassium pumps (proteins that help neurons generate electricity) are produced by ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Explanation:
Sodium-Potassium Pump (NA+/K+):
The Na+/K+ Pump is a transmembrane channel protein, responsible for maintaining the concentration gradient of sodium and potassium ions in the intra and extracellular environment. This is achieve by pumping 3 Na+ outside and 2 K+ inside the cell at the cost of one ATP. In neurons, these channels help in generating an action potential across the cell membrane that gives rise to a nerve impulse.
Production of Transmembrane proteins:
All membranes and their proteins are produced by the ribosomes on the rough ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains the enzymes required for lipid synthesis; and as cell membranes are made of lipids, the ER is the most suitable location for synthesis. Membrane proteins, particularly, transmembrane proteins like the Na+/K+ pump possess hydrophobic surfaces that don't dissolve in the cytoplasm but readily attach to the ER surface from where they can be transported wherever required.
C) Help with plant defense.
Many species are known to eat many plants, including flowers. To avoid being eaten, thorns in a rose bush help defend itself.
Answer:Amphibians evolved during the middle of the Devonian period (416 to 359 million years ago) from the lobe-finned fish of the vertebrate class Sarcopterygii. Species within the genus Ichthyostega (members of the Labyrinthodontia subclass) are considered by some scientists to be the earliest amphibians.
Explanation:
Biological Classification.
The classification system starts with a group with a wide variety of organisms and becoming more selective as the groups get more specific.
Additional information: Carl Linnaeus classified organisms by shared characteristics.
