When plants are stressed by dry conditions, they secrete the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and in response the stomata close, even

in the light. ABA is known to trigger the release of calcium ions that serve as second messengers in the guard cells and cause massive opening of potassium (K ) channels. Which of the following would be part of the mechanism by which ABA triggers stomata to close?
A. K+ ions flow out of guard cells and water moves into guard cells in response
B. K+ ions flow into guard cells and water moves into guard cells in response
C. K+ ions flow out of guard cells and water moves out of guard cells in response
D. K+ ions flow into guard cells and water moves out of guard cells in response

Answer:

K+ ions flow out of the guard cells and water moves out of the guard cells in response

Explanation:

When the Stomatal opens and closes it is occurs as a result of the absorption and removal of water into and from the guard cells respectively. K + ions have a huge role to play in this.

When it opens huge amounts of potassium ions accumulate in the guard cells which increases the solute potential and hence the water potential is dropped. This causes water from neighbouring cells to enter the guard cell and they become turgid or swollen. In this condition, the stomatal pore is opened. This is the opposite phenomenon of opening when it closes as water is removed from the guard cells and they become flaccid. K + ions move out of the cell. This causes the stomatal pore to close. This occurs in the absence of light or when rates of photosynthesis are low. In this condition the stomatal pore is closed.

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.

Infer why scientists hypothesize that chemical events preceded the origin of life on earth
jenyasd209 [6]
It is exclusively a philosophically naturalistic perspective of universal reality that is allowed in any hypothesis of the origin of life, meaning only the interactions of elements that through naturalistic processes that are allowed for any postulation of what could precede the appearance of life. However, chemical evolution that attempts to explain the interaction of abiotic materials, elements, compounds, molecules and assemblies are mythological, just as is Darwin's "warm little ponds" and increasingly, the primordial soup of Oparin-Haldane. There are no naturalistic processes capable of any significant organization and assembly of biochemical compounds. The physics law of entropy does permit assembly of some materials, even simple amino acids and sugars, but nothing even close to what is required in an organism, even of the simplest construction. The lab experiments that have been performed and have demonstrated some biochemical assembly have been intelligent design, highly managed efforts that are not geochemically relevant to primordial earth conditions.

Help please!!!!!!!!!
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP. Simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves materials with and against a concentration gradient.

Evidence of glacial action can be observed all over the park. Which of these are way
Maru [420]

Abrasion, plucking, deposition, and physical weathering are the glacial actions which can be observed all over the park.

Explanation:

When the huge ice masses slope down to fall over the land surface during a glacier, many glacial actions or processes take place which defines the landforms formed on the surface. These actions include abrasion, plucking, deposition, and physical weathering.  

Abrasion is an erosive process which scrapes the surface of ice rocks and other frozen rocky material beneath the ice and causes striations over the rocks.

Plucking also an erosive process plucks the frozen rocks beneath the ice surface.

Physical or freeze-thaw weathering causes water to enter the cracks in the rocks when the temperature increases. This water enters inside and freezes inside when the temperature goes down. This repeated melting and freezing of water destabilizes the rocks and will break the rocks.

These materials which are worn off are transported and deposition on the land surface when the glacier settle down.  

Longshore drifts occur along coastlines and brings materials along the coast when waves move at an angle with the coastline.

Mama at least three forms of force when dropping a ball on the ground​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

At least three forms of force when dropping a ball on the ground​ are gravitational force, air resistance force and the buoyancy force as well.

→ Gravitational force is a type of force that is acting while the ball is dropping, that is the downward force which is attracting the ball towards the centre of the surface of the earth.

→ Air resistance force is the upward force that will be acting while the ball is dropping on the ground.

→ The buoyancy force is the type of force that will act when the ball will touch the ground, then due to buoyancy force, the ball will bounce.
