what would be the most likely effect on cellular respiration if a plant were to lose much of its cjhlorophylkl
goldenfox [79]

Cellular respiration would produce less energy when plant were to lose much of its chlorophyll.

Plants can actually live longer without photosynthesis than they can without respiration. Some plants survive half the year without performing photosynthesis, but if they stop performing cellular respiration, even for a minute, they would be dead where they stand.

During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Through a series of steps, much like cellular respiration, they convert these reactants into the products oxygen and glucose. The plants then can use the oxygen and glucose to make ATP in cellular respiration. The rate of respiration is greater than the rate of photosynthesis. So this means there is an overall excess of carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.

Lipid-soluble hormones readily diffuse through capillary walls, whereas water-soluble hormones, such as proteins, remain in the
solong [7]

Answer:

b. pass through pores in the capillary endothelium

Explanation:

The fenestrated capillaries and sinusoids have pores in their endothelium. These pores or the intracellular clefts vary in size between the fenestrated capillaries and sinusoids. Sinusoids have larger intracellular clefts. The pores serve as a passage for the movement of water-soluble substances, proteins and other substances that cannot cross the hydrophobic interior of the cell membranes.

Water-soluble hormones also cannot pass through the capillary walls. Therefore, these hormones pass through the pore or the fenestrations present in the endothelium of capillaries.

What is nitrogen cycle and, what things need the nitrogen cycle and why is it important?
lapo4ka [179]

Explanation:

So plants need nitrogen to make their proteins (proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and small amounts of sulfer).

Unfortunately, the nitrogen in the atmosphere is inert (unreactive).

But there are still other ways to get nitrogen:

1. Lightning. It causes some of the nitrogen to combine with oxygen, forming nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain and are washed into the soil where they form nitrates.

2. Artificial fertilizers. There are literally ammonium compounds and nitrates in those bags that people sell.

3. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. So there is bacteria in the soil that live in root nodules on plants.

What do they do?? They use nitrogen from air spaces in the soil and combine it with other subsrances to make ammonium ions and other compounds.

4. Nitrifying bacteria. They turn ammonium ions into nitrates, which plants can use again. (so basically they serve nitrogen dish to the plant)

They convert the nitrogen containing substances into BETTER nitrogen containing substances for the plant

5. Denitrifying bacteria. FINALLY these bacteria turn nitrates and ammonia in the soil into nitrogen gas, which goes back to the atmosphere.

And the cycle goes on from the start...

Note that 1-3 are just ways in which nitrogen can be converted into a more reactive form.

I Hope this helps
