Where does osmosis take place

Biology
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In Gastrointestinal system:

When we eat food or drink water, it travels from our mouth, down our oesophagus and into our stomach. In the stomach, the food is broken into tiny pieces that are mixed with stomach liquids. This mush of food and stomach liquids is called chyme. The chyme travels into the small intestine. This is where osmosis takes place.

In our Kidneys:

Our kidneys keep blood and tissue fluid (internal environment) 'clean' by removing urea, excess water and other wastes and excreting them. This controls the amounts of dissolved substances in blood and tissue fluid, a process called osmoregulation. If tissue fluid becomes too concentrated, cells will lose water by osmosis and become dehydrated and if it becomes too dilute, cells will take in excess water by osmosis.

which of the following statements best describes the relationship between sex chromosomes an autosomes in humans?
kiruha [24]
Sex chromosomes and autosomes make up the chromosomes. Sex chromosomes determine the sex of the organisms while autosomes determine the physical characteristics of the organisms. Although the sex chromosomes only determine the sex of the organism, it has a direct link to certain physical characteristics of an organism i.e., colorblindedness is only common to males.

By studying genetics, scientists have learned that _______ control how organisms develop.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

C. genes

Explanation:

Genes are basic physical & functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA or we can say that they are segments of DNA which have instructions to synthesize bio molecules known as proteins and these protein molecules are further responsible for characteristics of an organism. Genes are located at a specific location in our chromosomes and the location is known as locus. Almost all the characteristics which an organism has depend upon the kind of information they have in their genes.

During developmental stages, how an organism will develop totally depends upon what kind of proteins are being synthesized at that time and as already explained, protein synthesis totally depends upon type of genes present in the organisms.

4.4-1 Anaerobic Respiration
Vesna [10]

For lactic acid fermentation, the correct options are:

  • pyruvate
  • hydrogen
  • NADH
  • lactic acid
  • Lactic acid
  • pyruvate
  • mitochondria

For ethanol fermentation, the correct options are:

  • pyruvate
  • CO₂
  • acetyl CoA
  • acetyl CoA
  • acetaldehyde
  • Acetaldehyde
  • hydrogen
  • NADH
  • ethanol

<h3>What is a anaerobic respiration?</h3>

Anaerobic respiration is respiration which occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Oxygen is used as an electron acceptor during respiration. However, when oxygen is absent or insufficient, other molecules are used as electron acceptors in order to produce energy.

Anaerobic respiration in large organisms may result in the formation of lactate known as lactic acid fermentation.

In lactic acid fermentation, after glycolysis, the two pyruvate molecules receive hydrogen atoms from NADH creating lactic acid. Lactic acid can be converted back into pyruvate in the liver. The pyruvate can then enter into the mitochondria and cellular respiration, can proceed.

On the other hand, anaerobic respiration in microorganisms produce ethanol and is known as ethanol fermentation.

After glycolysis, the two pyruvate molecules lose a CO₂ atom, creating acetyl CoA. The acetyl CoA atom combines with hydrogen to form acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde receives a hydrogen atom from NADH, resulting in the production of ethanol.

In conclusion, anaerobic respiration can occur either as a lactate fermentation or ethanol fermentation.
