Answer:

Sodium-Potassium Pumps

Explanation:

Sodium-Potassium Pumps written as Na-K Pumps are ion channels found in the cell membrane of nerve cells. These pumps are responsible for maintaining the different ion concentrations across the membrane and help in polarization and depolarization of the membrane by influencing membrane potential. During ion exchange these pumps transfer three sodium ions from inside to outside of the cell and two potassium ions from outside to inside of the cell. In this way they maintain the ion concentration gradient across membrane.

<h2>Question 4.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "Marie's plant will lean toward the sun so that it can get the most sunlight".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The plant will lean towards the sun light by the mechanism of phototropism.
  • Phototropism is the mechanism of growth of the plant in a specific direction in the response of light.
  • There are two types of phototropism.
  • One is a positive phototropism in which plant grows towards the light.
  • The other is negative phototropism in which plant grows away from the light.
  • In this question,the plant will do positive tropism.
<h2>Question no. 5</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "The dodo bird could not adapt quickly to the challenges of the environment".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
