Answer:

c. Only 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

Metabolism includes all the chemical reactions that occur inside a living cell. Metabolism consists of multistep chemical pathways. The metabolic pathways are of two types: catabolic pathways and anabolic pathways. The catabolic pathways are the chemical pathways that breakdown the complex substances in the simpler ones and result in the release of energy. Catabolism is exergonic in nature.

On the other hand, anabolic chemical pathways form complex substances from the simpler elements and require an input of energy. The formation of long chains of the polypeptide by joining monomer amino acids together is an example of anabolism. The breakdown of the polypeptide chain into the amino acids is an example of catabolism.

Answer:

The main ingredient of cells is water. Water is needed to maintain homeostasis. Cells are also made up of macromolecules—nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates. These macromolecules help maintain a cell's structure, help cells communicate with each other, aid in energy storage, etc.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

C. K+ ions flow out the the guard cells and water flows out the cells.

Explanation:

The turgidity of the guard cells allows the opening and closing of the stomata. This is especially necessary when it comes to water conservation in plants. In order for the cells to become turgid or flaccid, there must be the influx and out ward movement of water via osmosis.

In order for this the occur the osmotic pressure of the cellular environment must change and this is done by changing the solute concentration.

The pumping in of K+ ions out the cell allows the solute concentration to decrease and this in turn encourages the movement of water across a concentration gradient through a semi-permiable membrane.

The water leaves the guard cells and they become flaccid. This causes the stomata to be covered.
