Answer:
Synaptic cleft
Explanation:
Synapse is the region where the impulse is conducted between two neurons. This occurs because two neurons are in maximum possible proximity to each other at the synapse.
However, there is no physical contact between two neurons even at the synapse. And a small space is present between two neurons at synapse. This gap is called the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters are released in this cleft.
There are 2 types of transport mechanisms that involve the movement of materials across the cellular membrane:
1. Passive Transport Mechanisms which is the movement of materials that does not require energy. Instead the movement relies on the permeability of the cell. Under this are three kinds of passive transport mechanisms:
a. Simple Diffusion:
- the movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. No external energy is necessary for the movement. The materials supply the energy themselves.
b. Facilitated Diffusion:
- This differs from simple diffusion because the movement is facilitated by proteins that make up the structure of the membrane. The proteins include channel proteins that allow ions and smaller molecules to cross the membrane. The other protein are the carrier proteins, which bind to materials like sugar molecules and move it across the membrane.
c. Osmosis:
- This is the diffusion of water across the membrane. Osmosis moves water from regions where there are more water molecules of water per volume to regions where there are less water molecules per volume.
2. Active transport on the other hand is a movement mechanism that requires energy. It uses the energy to send materials against the direction it is coming from through simple diffusion. This mechanism is used in a way to keep unwanted ions or other materials out of the cell.
Answer:
Cells are of different types- Animal cells and Plant cells. The leaf epidermal cell is an example of plant cell and the visible components will be the <em>nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, central vacuole and cell wall</em>.
Explanation:
The cell organelles present in plant cells are different from those in animal cells.<u> Human cheek cell is an animal cell</u>. The animal cells contain a cell membrane which is absent in plant cells. Chloroplasts are <em>absent</em> in animal cells since they do not perform photosynthesis. Mitochondria and Golgi complex are present in <u>both plant and animal cells</u>.
