The main function of mitosis is to allow for growth and development and to replace dead and or decayed tissue.
Answer:
Gated ion-channels
Explanation:
These ion channels are protein molecules that act as a passageway which span across the cell membrane allowing the movement of ions from one side of the membrane to the other. They possess the ability to open and close in response to either chemical or mechanical signals.They possess a fluidic pore, which becomes available to ions after a conformational change in the protein structure has been activated causing the ion channel to open. Based on the stimulus to which they respond, ion channels are divided into three groups: voltage-gated, ligand-gated and mechano-sensitive ion channels. Channels responding to electrical (voltage-dependent ion channels), mechanical, or chemical (ligand-gated ion channels) stimuli open and allow rapid ion movement into or out of the cell, and this movement creates an electrical signals.
In photosynthesis, an electron carrier of the light cycles is the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP. This is the oxidized form, because the reduced form of this carrier has the extra H (NADPH). This is somehow related to the electron carrier called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD (minus the phosphate).
Ice sheets, ice caps and glaciers, the floating sea ice of the polar regions, lake ice, snow on the ground, and permafrost, permanently frozen ground in northern latitudes, all make up the cryosphere. ... It helps cool our planet and controls global sea level. It affects ocean currents and storm patterns around the world.
If capillaries were thicker, nutrient and gas transfer would be much more difficult. Capillaries are only one cell thick so that it is easy for gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), nutrients, and wastes to diffuse into and out of the blood. If they were thick, this diffusion would be much harder or impossible.
