How do vacuoles help fungal cells maintain homeostasis?

Biology

Crazy boy [7]4 years ago

Answer:

VACUOLES are organelles found in cells of plants or fungi.

They play a role in storage of both nutrients and waste products .

They help maintain homeostasis in the following way:

1. MAINTAINING ACIDITY :

In case the pH in the environment drops a lot (becomes very acidic), there is a flux of H ions from the cell's cytoplasm into the cell's vacuole thereby increasing acidity to required level and thus maintaining the specific pH in the cells internal environment as well.

2. TURGIDITY

Vacuoles regulate the turgidity by regulating the amount of water inside the cell.

If cell has excessive water: vacuole absorbs the water and then diffuses it out of the cell.

If cell lacks water: water from the vacuole gets passed back into the cell thereby maintaining turgidity.

tatiyna

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

The initial days and even weeks of pregnancy may happen without a woman being aware of the pregnancy. Even though the baby grows quickly, it starts out as just a fertilized egg. So it takes a while to be noticed. And there is plenty of room at first.

But with an ectopic pregnancy, the baby attaches, instead of in the uterus, outside of the uterus. In most cases, the baby attaches inside the fallopian tube. Outside of the uterus is not designed to provide support and space for the baby. As growth occurs, it can cause severe problems. This is dangerous and can cause bleeding, pain, and possibly shock of the woman's condition is not identified and treated.  

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day!! :-)

Explain how the interaction of the Sun, the atmosphere, and the oceans produce winds.
Sergio [31]

Explanation:

The sun heats the air leading to warm air. the warm air rises thus makes the cooler air from the surroundings to replace it. This leads to creating wind . This same process applies for ocean currents.

The sun heats water which make warm water come to the surface of the ocean thus replacing it with cooler water leading to ocean currents.

Svet_ta [14]
This can affect the organisms living there because now, their environment is probably different than what they have been living in for a long time, so now they have to adapt to this new environment, and if they don't, the organisms will probably end up dying.

harkovskaia [24]
The most likely consequence of the widespread lack of bees is loss or reduction of food. Majority of food depends on pollination and bees are major pollinators in the ecosystem, playing an essential role in food production among different type of plants. Bee’s declining population is mostly associated to excessive use of pesticides or toxicants in industrial agriculture as well as presence of different parasites or pathogens and even climate change.
