Secretion from the salivary glands is driven by osmosis following the establishment of osmotic gradients between the lumen, the cell and the interstitium by active ion transport.


The major pathway into saliva for most steroid hormones and other small, neutral molecules is by passive diffusion. The salivary glands are surrounded by dense beds of capillaries, and many blood components pass easily through the capillary walls, bathing the saliva glands.

Which example describes an adaptation of a blueberry plant in the summer? Buds begin to form. The leaves turn red. The plant is
Elza [17]

Answer:

Berries and leaves are fully grown.

Explanation:

Blueberry plants are native to the northern hemisphere and belong to the Vaccinium genera and Ericaceae family.

They are deciduous shrubs that that are grown in cold-weather regions. They exhibit winter dormancy, which they induce with exposure to hours of cold.

If the winter is not hard, the plants might flower during this season, but if not, they do it at the beginning of the spring.

Blueberry plants can adapt to variable climatic conditions. However, temperatures lower than 5ºC might damage the buds. And temperatures over 36ºC might also damage the fruits.

Sunny summers favor the fruit quality and avoid pathogen development.

The collecting season varies according to the plant variety, but usually, harvests are done from late spring to late summer.

During the autumn, leaves turn reddish before falling, and buds develop once the vegetative growth is over.

Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?
Bezzdna [24]
The prevailing theory is that sexual reproduction, which requires two genders, allows genetic intermingling that overall is very good for both the individuals and the species as a whole. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, is largely static, where each offspring is genetically identical to every other.
