Answer;
Semi-permeability means that only certain molecules are allowed to pass through.
Explanation;
-Semi-permeability is one of the features of a cell membrane, which means that the membrane allows selective movement of materials in and out of the cell; that is only certain molecules can enter or leave the cell.
-For example smaller molecules such water and ions such as potassium and sodium ions are able to leave and enter the cell, while other molecules that are large such as protein molecules can not enter or leave the cell.
Answer:
1.Plasma membrane
The plasma membrane surrounds the cell to create a barrier between the cytosol and the extracellular matrix. Plasma membranes also enclose lumens of some cellular organelles.
2.Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large network of membranes responsible for the production of proteins, metabolism and transportation of lipids, and detoxification of poisons. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum with separate functions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The presence or absence of ribosomes in the ER’s plasma membrane determines whether it is classified as smooth or rough ER.
3.Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus appears as a series of flattened, membranous sacs, or cisternae, that resemble a stack of pancakes just off the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It receives vesicles containing proteins recently produced by the rER. The Golgi apparatus can be compared to a warehouse or post office for newly formed proteins. Here the proteins are further modified, packaged, and sent off to their final destinations in the cell or body.
Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
Given that the F2 cross produces offspring according to the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio.
YyRr X YyRr:
Let us break the dihybrid cross into individual monohybrid crosses.
Yy X Yy :
Y y
Y YY Yy
y Yy yy
2/4 or 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.
Similarly, in Rr X Rr cross, 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.
Together, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits.
Answer:
All the options are correct regarding hypothalamus.
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is the part of the forebrain. The diencephalon is divisible into 2 parts - thalamus and hypothalamus. It regulates various functions of the body.
This is the thermoregulatory center of the body. It gives the signal to sweat during a hot environment and shiver in winter. This maintains the water balance in the body by stimulating the secretion of ADH hormone in the kidney.
Hypothalamus also has regulated anterior pituitary hormone secretion. Thus it controls the endocrine secretion of pituitary glands.
This plays an important role in hunger and thirst. The feeding habits like the licking of lips, swallowing, and salivating by seeing delicious foods is due to hypothalamic activities.
The behavioral activities of individuals influenced by the hypothalamus. It is worked along with the limbic system of the brain. The behavioral activities include fear, punishment and sexual desire.
The process of photosynthesis converts light energy into stored chemical energy by converting carbon dioxide plus water into sugars plus released oxygen.
