How does the contractile vacuole in a single-celled organism function to maintain homeostasis?

Biology
2 answers:
Anni [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It pumps water out of the cell; as water enters the organism's cells via osmosis (diffusion of water), the contractile vacuole acts very much like a pump to allow water to exit the organism; without it the organism would die. Also, homeostasis is maintained in this manner; all it means is a condition of stability.

Refer to the Biochemistry in Focus section of your text for this chapter to answer this question. Sarin inhibits acetylcholinest
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

c. Pyridostigmine binds to the acetylcholinesterase active site and prevents sarin from binding to and modifying the enzyme active site.

Explanation:

Sarin is a toxic compound which inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme. This enzyme degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after the required muscle cell stimulation. In absence of its activity, acetylcholine is not degraded and the muscle cells are stimulated uncontrollably. The muscles are not able to relax which ultimately proves fatal for the victim.

Pyridostigmine is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Sarin. However its period of inhibition is short compared to organophosphorus inhibitors like sarin. It competes with sarin and replaces it in the active site of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme is still inhibited but for a shorter time as compared to inhibition by Sarin. Hence after sometime, it becomes functional again and resumes its normal activity. Acetycholine starts getting degraded relaxing the muscles.

Why are amphibians slimy
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Some frogs are slimy because they are covered in a mucous coating. This coating helps them keep their skin moist which helps them breathe through their skin. The mucous often contains other chemicals, like antibacterial or anti fungals to help protect the frog.
