Which of the following is NOT a capillary transport mechanism?

Answer:

Bulk flow

Explanation:

Generally when there is  mass movements of molecules of the fluids from a high pressure gradients to low pressure gradients; that is down the concentration gradients, the process is called Bulk flow. In relation to cells, it is  the exchange of material between cells  through the pores of the adjoining  cells. In xylem , water and minerals flow from high pressure roots to the leaves, and phloem transport food substances from the  leaves the sources at high pressure to other parts of the plants.

The capillary transport mechanisms involves the movements of fluids, ions across the fenestration of the capillaries due to  the hydostatic  pressure of the fluid from the high pressure to the low pressure cellular environments.This is common in the  glomerulus of the kidney, intestine, and some endocrine glands.

The single wall endothelial lining of  capillaries forms continuous wall which allows passage of ions and fluids while restricting movements of large molecules. Generally the high pressure  from the hydrostatic pressure forces these materials across the walls.

Simple diffusion  which follows concentration  gradient across membranes ensures distribution of substances across the walls for fast uptake by the cells.

The movement of Macromolecules  across capillary wall is called vesicular transport.

Thus Bulk flow is odd.

Why are mutations that alter the amino acid sequence usually harmful?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

This probably because they destroy a given character or give rise to a new one.

Explanation:

 Alteration here are the permanent changes found in the DNA structure. And are totally inheritable. An example is the case of sickle cell anaemia and haemophilia. People with this anaemia trait hardly live and reproduce even though they do not show ill effects.

 Therefore, this mutation alteration is harmful because they destroy a given character.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: percentage of mice that will be spotted is 100%, and 0% chance of being solid colored.

Explanation:  First, homozygous means each parent have matching chromosomes (Like XX, instead of Xx)

Lets make a punnet square and show the data. We will use 'S' for spotted and 's' for solid

The punnet square shows that the percentage of mice that will be spotted is 100%, and 0% chance of being solid colored.

Hope this helps :)

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The first thing to look at would be type of symmetry the organism exhibits. If it is asymmetrical then it would be a sponge and the discovery could stop right there. If not, other characteristics need to be investigated.

Knowing the type of body cavity this organism has would be helpful.

It would also be beneficial to know what type of skeleton (endo or exo) this organism has and what its appendages look like.

Finally, the type of digestive tract and the presence or absence of a head would help to determine what this creature is.
