BLINK protein speeds up stomatal movements in response to light fluctuations resulting in improved plant growth and water use.
Plants can't move, so their “blinking” helps protect them from burning or bleaching when they are in bright sun.
I'm not sure if the first part is right, but I do know the second part is.
They eat other snakes, including venomous snakes. They have developed a hunting technique to avoid being bitten by clamping down on the jaws of the venomous prey, but even if bitten, they are immune to the venom. They also eat amphibians, turtle eggs, lizards, and small mammals, which they kill by constriction.
Answer: Interventricular foramen
Explanation:
<u>The cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid that covers the brain and spinal cord. It circulates through the subarachnoid space, the cerebral ventricles and the ependymal canal</u>. Several diseases alter its composition and its study usually detects meningeal infections, carcinomatosis and hemorrhages. Some of its functions are:
- Hydropneumatic support against local pressure for the encephalon.
- Eliminates metabolites from the central nervous system.
- Protects the central nervous system from trauma.
This fluid also fills the ventricles, which are large open structures deep within the brain and help keep the brain buoyant and cushioned. The lateral ventricles are the largest ventricles and connect to the third ventricle through the intraventricular foramen. This third ventricle is a narrow, medial cavity located between the diencephalic masses. <u>Then, the interventricular foramina are channels that connect with the ventricles of the lateral walls and with the third ventricle</u>, at the level of the midline of the brain. Like these channels, they allow cerebrospinal fluid to circulate through the rest of the ventricular system of the brain. The walls of the foramina also contain choroid plexuses, responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid, which continue in both the lateral ventricles and the third ventricle. After reaching the third ventricle, the cerebrospinal fluid travels through the median aperture into the subarachnoid space at the base of the brain.
Robert Hooke is the first person to observe cells as microscopic structures.
He was of British descent and, fun fact, he discovered cells by looking at a sliver of cork under a microscope lens (although the 'fun fact' is heavily simplified).
