Biology

Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3>Yes, Passive transport can occur in dead cells.</h3>

Explanation:

For passive transport to occur, a concentration gradient has to be formed across a permeable or semi-permeable membrane. If the cell membrane of the dead cell, which is a semipermeable membrane, is intact and a concentration gradient has formed on both sides, passive transport can occur.

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of solute molecules  across the membrane. Passive transport will allow solute molecules to travel from the higher concentration of the solute to the lower concentration across a membrane till equilibrium is reached, that is, both the sides of the membrane has equal concentration of the solute.

The transport of the solvent can occur as well, from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Answer:

The correct answer is glands.

Explanation:

It is known that brain monitors movement, therefore, one can definitely correlate movement of muscles with the brain that comprises the role of sensory and motor neurons. When a stimulus is obtained by the sensory organs, it is transmitted by the sensory neuron to the brain and from their information is further conducted to the effector organs like muscles by the motor neuron. The glands are the group of cells, which takes part in the secretions when instigated by any particular hormone.

What happens last after a water soluable hormone approaches it’s target cell
yuradex [85]

Answer:

After the water soluble hormone approaches its target, the last thing that happens in change in cell activity and the hormones send a signal/message to the original hormone.

Explanation:

Water soluble hormones easily attach themselves to the cell. These water soluble hormones are made up of amino acid. Amino acid are basically proteins which are easily soluble in water.

These water soluble hormones cannot enter the cell membrane of the cell because they are made up of fat cells.

Carbohydrate loading maximizes the amount of which substance stored in skeletal muscles?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. glycogen

Explanation:

Carbohydrate loading is a very common practice in athletes. It consists of eating carbohydrate-rich food specially before doing exercise. This practice maximizes the stored quantities of glycogen- polysacharide of storing of glucose- in muscle and liver.
