Which of the following is NOT a capillary transport mechanism?

Biology

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.

Describe the three structural components of an RNA nucleotide monomer. Explain the role of RNA polymerase during transcription.
igomit [66]

The structural components of an RNA and the role of the polymerase during transcription is explained below and the nucleotide is formed by the chemical substances and the polymerase plays a role in commencing to the gene expression.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>1.Three structural components of an RNA nucleotide monomer:</u>

  • A nucleotide is formed by the three unique chemical substances namely a  5-carbon sugar molecule, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group with all these three combinations the nucleotide is formed.

<u>2.The role of RNA polymerase during transcription:</u>

  • <u> </u>RNA polymerase examines the method of transcription, through which the data collected in a molecule of DNA is drawn into a new molecule of messenger RNA.
  • This transcription is the first round commencing to gene expression.
  • RNA synthesis is provided out by proteins and that copies the genetic data from DNA in a very organized, multi-stage method

arlik [135]
<span>Looking at the two species' DNA would be a good place to start. If there are a number of similarities in their genotypes, then there would be a good chance that the two would also share some type of a common ancestor. This would be evidence that there was some type of selection that took place that necessitated two different species that shared a number of traits and features.</span>

Answer:

c. Increased deadspace

Explanation:

The deadspace never increases naturally it can only increases after surgical removal of organs, example: tonsilar removal. Because the deadspace is the space in the higher respiratory sistem wich includes nose, nasal cavity, larynx, windpipe where air flows on it's way in and out the lungs
