Answer:

B. Iron bacteria cause iron in water wells to rust.

Explanation:

Inorganic compounds are all substances formed by atoms or molecules of at least two different elements, and which do not contain in their structure carbon atoms forming chains and bound to hydrogen. In some situations carbon may appear in the structure of the compound, but due to the way it is bonded, it is considered inorganic, as is the case with CO2 and Na2CO3.

Some protists feed on inorganic compounds, as stated in the question above. They derive from the inorganic compounds the energy needed for your body to function. An example of this is the iron bacteria that cause rust in water wells.

The spontaneous action potential established in cardiac contractile cells is highly dependent on which of the following? A. The
Arada [10]

Answer:

E. All of the above

Explanation:

In cardiac contractile cells there is rapid depolarization, then a plateau phase and repolarization.

when an action potential stimulates the cell, voltage-gated channels open quickly commencing the positive-feedback mechanism of depolarization. This in turn raises the membrane potential to approximately +30 mV, and this closes the sodium channels. Next comes the plateau phase, where membrane potential declines relatively slowly due to the opening of the slow Ca2+ channels, allowing Ca2+ to enter the cell while few K+ channels are open, leading to K+ to exit. Once the membrane potential reaches approximately zero, the Ca2+ channels close and K+ channels open, allowing the exit of K+. The repolarization lasts approximately for a while and here is when the membrane potential drops until it reaches resting levels once more and repeats the cycle.

What would be of most importance to goblet cells and other glandular epithelia?
konstantin123 [22]

The given question is incomplete as options are not provided, however the options  are as follows :

- Golgi bodies

-lysosomes

-microvilli

-multiple nuclei

Answer:

The correct answer is - golgi bodies.

Explanation:

Goblet cells and glandular epithelial cells are cells that produce and secretes a specific type of products that are termed as the mucin to protect the skin and layer mucous membrane they place.

These cells are characterized by a large amount of Golgi body and endoplasmic reticulum as they are involved in the exocytic pathway which means they secrete, glycoproteins, mucin, and other substances. Golgi bodies needed to modify, synthesis, and secretion.

Thus, the correct answer is - golgi bodies.
