Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Meissner corpuscles are one of four types of mechanoreceptors which response to mechanical pressure.

The corpuscles are very adaptive and sensitive receptors which convert the stimuli to action potential and send them to the Central nervous system.

The corpuscles are found in the areas which are exposed to touch or are sensitive to touch like in the fingers of the hand and the lips.

Since the deaf and blind lady distinguishes people with a light touch, therefore, these Meissner corpuscles are involved in helping identify the individuals.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Which group would be found on the lowest branch of a phylogenetic tree of all life?
nikklg [1K]
I think the correct answer would be the second option. The group of archaebacteria would be found on the lowest branch of a phylogenetic tree of all life. Phylogenic trees are illustrations of a hypothetical evolution of the organisms and its relationship with the other organisms. From the listed options, the archaebacteria is most likely to be the most basic and simplest life form. It should be placed before the other options so at the lowest branch. This illustration is being used by scientists to describe how evolution and the connection of the organisms came about. It sometimes called as the tree of life.

Evaluate the lab and data collected. What type of transport occurred in this lab? Explain your answer, including evidence from y
andreev551 [17]

To know what type of transport occurred the lab and collected data are needed. As they are not present an explanation of the different transport's types, will be given.

Water, proteins, ions, and molecules of different sizes can pass through the cell membrane using different types of transports. The transport that each molecule uses depends on the concentration, size, and polarity.

We can classify the types of transport as active and passive.

Passive transport is the one that does not need energy to happen since the molecules move from a place of high concentration to a one of lower concentration. In this group, we have:

  • Simple diffusion: small molecules in high concentration on one side of the membrane; move to the other side due to the difference in concentration.
  • Osmosis: water passes through the membrane from a place of low concentration of molecules to one of high concentration. Water moves inside or outside the cell to valance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
  • Facilitated diffusion: uses proteins to transport large molecules, ions, or hydrophobic molecules from one side to the other. In this type of transport, we have proteins that form channels so those hydrophobic molecules can pass through the lipid membrane, and carrier proteins, which binds to a specific molecule changing their shape and transporting the molecule.

Active transport needs the<em> energy</em> to transport molecules; since it goes against the gradient's concentration. In this group, we have:

  • Sodium-Potassium pump: uses ATP to move sodium outside the cell and potassium to the inside. The ions with this transport go to where they are most concentrated.

In conclusion, there are different types of transport; they depend on the concentration or type of molecule. To find out what mechanism of transport occurred in the lab, look at the components of the experiment and analyze which of these transports could be present.
