Answer:
-100
Explanation:
If the total water potential in the soil around a plant root were -50 kPa, water would move from the soil into the root if the water potential inside the root cells were -100 kPa.
The water potential of a substance represents the measure of potential energy in water molecules in a system as compared to that of pure water. It is also a measure of the tendency of water to move from one region to another.
<em>Usually, water will move from the region of high water potential to the region of low water potential. Hence, for water to move from the soil into the root, the root must have a lower water potential than the soil.</em>
The soil had -50 kPa water potential, hence the only option that is lower than -50 kPa is -100.
The correct answer is -100 kPa.
Hey Taonga! Tropism involves an organism (mainly plant) growing toward or away from a stimulus. Taxis involves an organism (protist or animal) moving toward a stimulus.
Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]
Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.
