Vacuole is the answer.
Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls.
The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.
When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.
In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.
Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
1. <span>what is the amount of the bolus dose, in both milligrams and milliliters, that you will administer in the first minute?
</span>The doses is 0.9 mg/kg and the weight of the patient is 143 pounds. So, the total doses of drug needed will be:
Total doses= 0.9 mg/kg * 143 pounds * 0.453592 kg/pound= 58.37 mg.
10% of the doses will be given bolus for 1 min, so the amount would be:
Bolus doses= 10%*58.37 mg= 5.837 mg.
In mililiters, it would be: 5.837 mg * 1ml/mg= 5.837 ml.
<span>2. what is the amount of the remaining dose that you will need to administer?
The remaining dose would be 90% of the total dose. You can either calculate it directly or subtract the bolus doses from the total doses.
Remaining doses= total doses- bolus doses= </span>58.37 mg- 5.837 mg= <span>52.533mg</span>
Answer: When wilted plants are given water, it enters the cell generating turgor and giving a firmer appearance, and this water is stored in the vacuoles.
Explanation:
Turgor is a phenomenon in plant cells in which the cell expands due to the pressure exerted by the fluids and also by the cell content on the walls. It is related to osmosis, since the external pressure is usually very high and this internal pressure dilates the cell as much as the elasticity of the membranes allows. <u>Then, the cells swell by absorbing water, tensing the membranes because of the pressure against them.</u> When the fluid exerts outward pressure on the cell wall it is called turgor pressure. Whereas, the inward pressure exerted on the cell contents by the stretched cell wall is called wall pressure. Generally, both pressures, turgor pressure and wall pressure, are counterbalanced and balanced.
So, this pressure of turgor facilitates the elongation of the cells in the plant, and also, the cells use this phenomenon to regulate the transpiration through the opening and closing of the stomach.
Thereby, the turgor of a living cell is influenced by three primary factors:
- An adequate supply of water.
- The formation of osmotically substances.
- A semi-permeable membrane.
Vacuoles are organelles bounded by a single membrane and present in plant and fungal cells, and where water is stored. Plant cells control their turgor pressure through the movement of water into or out of vacuoles. When wilted plants are given water, it enters the cell generating turgor and giving a firmer appearance, and this water is stored in the vacuoles.
