Mitochondria - Within eukaryotic cells, mitochondria function somewhat like batteries, because they convert energy from one form to another: food nutrients to ATP.
The answer needed to complete the statement above is the External Urethral Sphincter. It a skeletal muscle, in contrary to the internal urethral sphincter, whose location is at the urogenital diaphragm. Its function is the voluntary control of urine in the bladder.
Cuboidal cells i hope im right :)
Answer:
Explanation:
Active transport is the movement of molecules or substance from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient.
Active transport requires cellular energy and are of two types:
primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.
Active transport helps in the uptake of glucose in the intestines.
Cotransport or secondary active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane it uses electrochemical potential difference that is created by pumping ions in or out of the cell.
Cotransport helps in the transport of glucose across the cell membrane.
Answer:
Root hair cell cytoplasm // Soil water
Explanation:
Water moves through the xylem vessels in a continuous transpiration stream:
root → stem → leaf
Transpiration produces a tension or ‘pull’ on the water in the xylem vessels by the leaves. Water molecules are cohesive so water is pulled up through the plant.
The transpiration stream has several functions. These include:
transporting mineral ions
providing water to keep cells turgid in order to support the plant
providing water to leaf cells for photosynthesis
keeping the leaves cool by evaporation
Root hair cells
The root hairs are where most water absorption happens. They are long and thin so they can penetrate between soil particles, and they have a large surface area for absorption of water.
Water passes from the soil water to the root hair cell’s cytoplasm by osmosis. This happens because the soil water has a higher water potential than the root hair cell cytoplasm:
Solution Water potential Concentration of dissolved solutes
Soil water High Low
Root hair cell cytoplasm Low High
Osmosis causes water to pass into the root hair cells, through the root cortex and into the xylem vessels
