In a paragraph explain what effect very small pores and their diffusion rate would have on the workings and mechanism of a cell

Biology
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

So if the size of the pore is small then the rate of the diffusion will be very slow as the molecules will move from high concentration to low concentration in very slow rate.

Explanation:

I hope it helps you

Which molecule is a first messenger but not a second messenger
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Hormones act as first messenger but not as second messengers.

Explanation:

Second messenger act as signaling molecule which are secreted in response to various biological signals generated by first messenger such as hormones,neurotransmitters etc.Second messengers include various bioactive molecules such as cyclic AMP(cAMP),cyclic GMP(cGMP),inositol triphosphate(IP3),diacylglycerol(DAG),calcium ions(Ca2+) etc.

         Hormones are extracellular signaling molecules whereas second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules.

The principal microtubule-organizing center in animal cells is the ____________. A. centrosome. B. centromere. C. kinetochore. D
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A. centrosome

Explanation:

  • The centrosome is known as the main microtubule-organizing center in the animal cells. 
  • The centrosome constitutes of two centrioles and is surrounded by the pericentriolar material which is nothing but a structured matrix of proteins. 
  • It is the center through which the microtubules emerge.
  • In animal cells, the centrosome is associated with the formation of spindle fibres.

Populations of the grasshopper Vandiemenella viatica possess different chromosomal fusions and inversions. Grasshoppers that are
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The options

a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness

b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance

c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness

d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance

e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift

The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.

b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance

Explanation:

In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.

It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)

of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.

Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
