6. is Saprophytic
7. Parasitic
8. Either mimetic or mutualistic i think mutualistic
Answer:
Ion channels are specialized proteins in the plasma membrane that provide a passageway through which charged ions can cross the plasma membrane down their electrochemical gradient.
Explanation:
Ion channels are molecular machines that serve as principal integrating and regulatory devices for controlling cellular excitability. Different types of ion channels have been described: channels that respond to mechanical, electrical (voltage-dependent ion channels), or chemical stimuli (ligand-gated ion channels); ion channels that are controlled by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms; and ion channels that are dependent on G proteins. Most ion channels are of the voltage-dependent type and consist mainly of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca2+) channels. Drugs can affect ion channel function directly by binding to the channel protein and altering its function or indirectly through G proteins and other intermediates. Lidocaine is a good example of a drug that directly affects voltage-gated Na+ channels by blocking the channel and thus Na+ entry into the cell.
Thanks! Have a great day!
Difficult because it went against basically everything that was previously believed to be true
2) The concentration of O2 will increase inside the cell.
The cell will want to reach equilibrium, meaning that there should be an equal number of oxygen inside and outside the cell. In the picture, more oxygen is shown outside the cell than inside so oxygen will flow into the cell until it has reached equilibrium. Therefore, the concentration of O2 will increase in the cell.
Hope this helps!!
Most of the carbon in the earth is stored in the soil and air.
A) soil and air
<u>Explanation:</u>
Most of the carbon on earth is stored in rocks in the soil. There is approximately 2500 billion tons of carbon in the soil. The amount of carbon in the air is 800 billion tons and the amount of carbon found in plants and animals is 560 billion tons.
This clearly tells that most of the carbon in earth is stored in soil and air. The movement of carbon within the biosphere makes up the carbon cycle.
