Do your results imply that the uptake of water by radish seeds is mainly a physical process or a chemical (metabolic) process?

Answer:

physical process

Explanation:

Assuming that there are no latency mechanisms that prevent germination, several factors are required for the embryo contained in the seed to restart its development.

Water Absorption

Embibition: It is a special case of a <u>physical phenomenon</u> called diffusion, and as such, there is a diffusion gradient. It is characterized by an increase in volume of the substance or body that embeds and is closely related to the properties of colloidal materials. The colloidal particles in the seed form a moderately rigid miscelar network, in which electric charges of opposite signs are oriented in a defined manner. When water penetrates the seed, one fraction occupies the free spaces and another chemically joins the substances of which the seeds are composed. The volume of the seeds increases with the embibition, but the final volume of the system (seed + water) is smaller than the sum of the initial individual volumes of seeds and water; This contraction of the system is proof of the occupation of the free spaces within the seed and the absorption of water in the colloidal matrix.

The embibition rate is affected by several factors that can determine the germination response of the seeds.

Well, the body has a endless supply of energy (even if you have an energy drink or a lot of coffee) but anyway we will always have a lot of energy until you have to go to the other world (if you know what I mean)

Cytopathic effects are changes in host cells due to.
anzhelika [568]

Answer: viral invasion.

Explanation:Cytopathic effect or cytopathogenic effect (abbreviated CPE) refers to structural changes in host cells that are caused by viral invasion. The infecting virus causes lysis of the host cell or when the cell dies without lysis due to an inability to replicate. Both of these effects occur due to CPEs.

In fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers, their rapid increases in force rely on the ________ activity where rapid relaxation
Kitty [74]

Answer:

1. myosin ATPase

2. Ca2+-ATPase

Explanation:

ATPase activity of myosin head hydrolysis ATP and energize the myosin head. The energized myosin head forms cross bridges to facilitate the power stroke of muscle contraction. The fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers have the ability to produce ATP by aerobic respiration.  

These fibers have the  ATPase in their myosin heads that hydrolyze ATP three to five times faster than the myosin ATPase in slow fibers. This ensures the faster speed of contraction of these fast-twitch muscle fibers.

During their relaxation, Ca2+ ATPase pumps the calcium ions back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. As the level of Ca2+ ions in the sarcoplasm decreases, calcium ions are released from troponin. Tropomyosin is allowed to cover the myosin-binding sites on actin and the muscle fiber relaxes faster.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This ensures that the research is corroborated by other scientists and is peer-reviewed hence increasing the veracity of the findings. This also ensures that conflict of interest is addressed whereby the findings by the company may appear to be compromised or biased because such a finding would be in favour of their own needs (such as financial gain).  Peer review in such case is  even more important because it involves humans subjects and ethics are paramount in healthcare research.
