Answer:
Answered below
Explanation:
Pepetidoglycans are the structural polymers which make up the cell walls of most bacteria.
It consists of the macromolecule, glycan chains, which are repeating N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues. These glycan chains combine or cross-link with peptide side chains (proteins) to form a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria.
Peptidoglycan is the major structural component and the basic unit of the bacterial cell wall and provides protection to the cytoplasmic membrane, mechanical rigidity and also regulates the passage of fluid, amino acids, sugar and ions, in and out of the cell.
Answer:
conifers: Cones
Explanation:
Conifers have cones (hence their name). Cones are the reproductive structures ofthe conifers: Cones are diploid tissue produced by the dominant sporophyte stage. The haploid gametophyte stage develops and produces gametes inside the cone.
Answer:
Concentration gradient
Explanation:
Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.
Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
Answer:
Produced by the choroid plexus -T.This is the major secretion site.It is also produced in smaller quantities in the interstitial compartment.
Blocks blood toxins from brain tissue-F, that is the job of the blood brain barrier(BBB).
Supplies oxygen to the brain tissue-T.This gas is dissolved in the CSF together with CO2 for distribution among nervous tissues by the CSF
Maintains the concentration of glycine surrounding the brain-T
Found in the ventricles of the heart and brain-False,it does not reach the heart ventricles.This are occupied by blood.
Prevents concussions-T
Produces antibodies in response to antigen exposure in the brain tissue-False.These are produced by the B-cells, not by in the CSF,based on the specif antigen stimulation.
Effectively decreases the brain's weight-T It reduces the weight of the brain.This is done by the buoyancy it provided for the brain.
Compared to levels in the blood plasma, the CSF is higher in glucose-F.This is wrong, the glucose of the blood plasma is higher.But equal sodium ion,more chloride in CSF, and less protein.It s levels is a relefection of blood glucose.Although it may lag 2-4hrs in the CSF.
It prevents concussion,(T)and and the contraction of cardiac muscles propels its movement(T).
