<span>Part a the adaptation that made possible the colonization of dry land environments by seed plants is most likely the result of the evolution of pollen.</span>
 The main advantage of seed plants (Gymnosperms and Angiosperms) is the evolution of the seed which, unlike spore-producing plants, was not limited to wet environments. Pollen grains are male gametophytes (sperm) which are protected from desiccation and can reach the female organs without dependence on water. The sperm is transferred from the pollen through the pollen tube: an extension of a cell within the pollen grain. The process is called pollination.

What specific part of the cell/structure allows the mucus secretions to be thick and viscous rather than fluid (i.e., is it a me
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The CFTR behaves like a channel for chlorine. Its dysfunction affects both the transport of this ion and other ions and the transport of water, which causes a thickening of secretions, an alteration of mucociliary transport and local defenses, facilitating bacterial colonization and promoting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in the airway

Explanation:

CFTR is a protein expressed in the epithelial cells of the respiratory system, pancreas, bile ducts, sweat glands and genitourinary system. It is made up of a single chain made up of 1,480 amino acids. It contains 12 hydrophobic regions embedded in the lipid membrane and acts as a channel for chlorine.The highest levels of expression of the CFTR protein are found in serous cells of the submucosal glands of the proximal airway. In them, Cl- is released to the outside. In addition, there are channels for Na +, through which this ion is also secreted in the same direction. These movements cause the displacement of water and also of mucins, originating in the submucosal glands, allowing their presence on the surface of the airway. For all this to occur normally, a basolateral Na + - K + - ATPase cotransporter must function, another basolateral cotransporter formed by Na +, K + and 2 Cl-, which allows the latter to enter the cell, and an apical CFTR channel through which it exits the Cl- of the cell towards the acinar lumen. Na + leaves the cell following Cl- by a paracellular pathway accompanied by water. When CFTR malfunctions, Cl- does not exit through this channel and this implies a decrease in Na + and water in the canalicular lumen, with the consequent thickening of secretions.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: <u>External respiration</u>

It is a process where oxygen from the lungs diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide collected from the cells, goes into the alveolar space of the lungs. It is also called as <u>breathing</u>, where air from outside is inhaled through the nose and goes to the lungs. From there it goes through the blood to every cell of the body.
