Answer:
The proteins in plasma include the antibody proteins, coagulation factors, and the proteins albumin and fibrinogen which maintain serum osmotic pressure.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
When plant cells take in water, the vacuole swells. A swollen vacuole indicates the plant cell has all the water it needs. This suggests that the plant is taking in water and is maintaining optimum conditions. This is an example of homeostasis.
If the cells burst apart, as in A and E, this would suggest the cell is not properly maintaining homeostasis, as the cell bursting suggests something has gone badly wrong. This suggests the cell has taken in too much water; the cell has not been able to maintain homeostasis and regulate water uptake to prevent this from happening.
In the reverse case, where the cells shrink apart (as in B), the cell would also not be properly maintaining homeostasis by failing to bring enough water into the cell to maintain a turgid state. This is also damaging for the cells.
Finally, D and E can also not be correct, because water can cross the cell membrane, and does not need to be pumped in or sent out by endocytosis.
Answer:
It means one trait does not influence the expression of the other. Example is given in the explanation section.
Explanation:
A trait is the phenotypic characteristics an organism possesses. It is determined and controlled by genes. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of every gene called ALLELE. Each allele of a gene encodes a different trait.
Mendel, in his law of independent assortment stated that the inheritance of a trait encoded by the alleles of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another trait encoded by the alleles of another gene. A trait is said to be independent of another if it doesn't influence the expression of the other trait.
An example is the seed colour and seed shape trait in a plant. The seed colour trait is encoded by a certain gene and its expression and inheritance is independent of the seed shape trait encoded by another gene.
Answer:
The barrier functions to regulate the chemical composition of the extracellular fluid surrounding the brain cells.
Explanation:
Blood-brain barrier
It is a very selective semipermeable membrane , hence allow some specific substance to pass via it . This barrier separates the extracellular fluid in the central nervous system and the circulating blood from the brain .
<u>The barrier is composed of the endothelial cells .</u>
Passive diffusion is shown in this system , and allows molecules like the water , glucose , amino acid to pass .
It regulates the chemical composition of the fluid of brain cell .
