Answer:

Large quantities of water molecules constantly move across cell membranes by simple diffusion, often facilitated by movement through membrane proteins, including aquaporins. In general, net movement of water into or out of cells is negligible. For example, it has been estimated that an amount of water equivalent to roughly 100 times the volume of the cell diffuses across the red blood cell membrane every second; the cell doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out. There are, however, many cases in which net flow of water occurs across cell membranes and sheets of cells. An example of great importance to you is the secretion of and absorption of water in your small intestine. In such situations, water still moves across membranes by simple diffusion, but the process is important enough to warrant a distinct name - osmosis.

"what is the relationship between the motor neuron axons and muscle fibers"

fomenos

Motor neurons carry impulses to the effectors in the body, which are the muscles or glands that produce a change based on a stimulus sensed by the receptors. The motor neurons "innervate" muscle fibers, which essentially means that they cause them to move. The fewer the muscle fibers associated with a motor neuron, the more precise are the movements of those fibers. Having to control a small number of fibers, the neuron is able to coordinate more dexterous motions. An example of a region where there are not a lot of muscle fibers related to each neuron is in your fingers.

Telophase is the last phase of mitosis. The name itself indicates terminal (telo) phase. </span>The chromosomes get to the cell poles and nuclear membranes are formed around each set of chromatids. The actual cell division is called c<span>ytokinesis and it starts at the end of the telophase.</span>

Which of the following is an example of sensors working during homeostasis?

Keith_Richards [23]

D) energy demands triggering a release of glucose.

Notice how the stimulant (low energy supply) triggers a restoration (normalizing) of a normal balance, which in this case is increasing energy supplied (glucose).
This process is called "homeostasis," or maintaining an internal balance.

Hallo~~

Your question is related to genetics.

Have you ever done a Punnett Square? This question forces you to make one. If your cross a homozygous type A (AA) and homozygous type O (OO) you should get 100% AO. Understanding genetics, an AO gene means a type A blood. Therefore, it's 100% type A blood (AO).
