Saliva flows out of the salivary glands into your mouth is it diffusion osmosis or neither

Biology
1 answer:
Mumz [18]2 years ago
6 0
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.

6. species Closely related of orchids never mate in the wild because they bloom at different times. This is an example of ______
Dimas [21]

Answer:

temporal reproductive isolation

Explanation:

The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.

<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.

Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.

Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>
