Sugar-phosphates and nucleotides
Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.
This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
B. I think, because they are both mechanical. Don't quote me on that <span />
Answer:
It would harm the few plants that benefit from mutualistic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi
Explanation:
Mycorrhizal relationship is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants. While the plant provides the fungi with food, the fungi supply the plant with nutrients and water extracted from the soil.
<em>Hence, if a wide-spectrum fungicide is used in a forest and it kills all the fungi in the forest, it will affect all the plants that share beneficial relationship with fungi in the forest.</em>
