Imagine an artificial cell made with a selectively permeable membrane that allows water to pass through but does not allow sugar

to pass. if the artificial cell contains a 1% sugar solution and then you place the cell in a 2% sugar solution, what happens?'

The cell would shrivel. This is due to the fact that it would lose water to the surrounding 2% sugar solution through osmosis. The surrounding sugar solution is more concentrated hence hypertonic compared to the cell solution of 1%. Water, in osmosis, moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution, through a semipermiable, until an isotonic balance is achieved.

Cell bodies of sensory neurons may be located in ganglia lying outside the central nervous system. Cell bodies of sensory neuron
AlekseyPX

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Sensory neurons are the neurons present in the nerves which can convert the external stimuli into an electrical signal and can transmit the signals from the organs to the central nervous system.

The structure of sensory neuron in pseudounipolar that is at one end it has dendrites and another end transmits the signals to the CNS. The cell bodies  (nucleus) of these sensory neurons are located in the structures called ganglia located outside the CNS.

Thus, True is the correct answer.

rusak2 [61]

Answer and Explanation:

The retina covers the internal phase of the eye. It characterizes by its complex interaction between many morphologically and functionally different cells, which are located in many layers. The principal processing mechanism in the retina is lateral interactions among cells, and the most common lateral processing is lateral inhibition.

Photoreceptors are those cells that receive the light and translate the luminous signal into an electrical signal. These are the cones and sticks.

The horizontal cells intervene in the lateral spatial interaction between photoreceptors.      

Bipolar cells receive information from the photoreceptors and from the horizontal cells and transmit it to the most internal layers in the retina.

The retina is stratified into five layers. One of these is the external plexiform layer, a contact zone between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and other cells.    

In the vertebrates´ retina, the lateral inhibition is produced for the first time in the external plexiform layer, through the horizontal cells. These cells connect to photoreceptors, other horizontal cells, and bipolar cells. The connection between horizontal cells might reduce or amplify the photoreceptor answer, and this last one is transmitted by the bipolar cells to the interior of the retina. In photoreceptors, there are two connections to horizontal cells, a direct connection, and an indirect one. The connection between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells is known as lateral inhibition. By this inhibition, photoreceptors allow the contrasting perception in an image. Lateral inhibition allows discriminating one stimulus from other stimuli, by enhancing contrast and definition. The inhibitory modulation is produced by the inhibitor neurotransmitter GABA.The spacial extension of lateral inhibition changes according to the adaptation to light. Gap junction between horizontal cells and between photoreceptors and horizontal cells might vary with the amount of light.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Ribosome, Mitochondria, Chloroplast (in case of a plant cell).

Explanation:

  • The Endo-membrane system in the cell represents the membranes of the Nucleus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Plasma Membrane, Vacuole and Lysosome.
  • The Nuclear Envelope is made up of a phospholipid bilayer which remains in continuation with the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) membrane.
  • Therefore, fluorescent tagged integral membrane protein localised in the outer nuclear envelope can move into the ER membrane by lateral movement or through vesicles that bud off from the membrane of the nuclear envelope and fuse with that of the ER membrane.
  • Vesicles bud off from the membrane of the ER and fuse with the Golgi apparatus. Therefore, the fluorescent tagged integral membrane protein can move into the membrane of the Golgi apparatus.
  • Vesicles bud off from the Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Plasma membrane, Lysosome membrane, and Vacuole membrane. Hence, the fluorescent tagged integral membrane protein can be found in all these organelles.
  • Ribosome lacks a membrane and hence, the fluorescent tagged integral membrane protein will be absent over here.
  • Both Mitochondria and Chloroplast, are self-replicating and dividing organelles. Their proteins (membrane or matrix) are encoded mostly by their own genome. Also, vesicles that bud from from nucleus or ER or Golgi apparatus do not fuse into their membrane. Hence, the fluorescent tagged protein would not be able to reach their membrane.

Base from your opinion, why we need to study the beginning of the universe? Give at least five reasons.​
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

To know the origin of life, to have an idea of our ancestors, to be aware of the immensity of the universe, for informational reasons and to respect nature.

Explanation:

Many scientists and psychologists affirm that it is very complex for the human mind to understand the cycle of life and the origin of the universe, due to its immensity.

This is how it is necessary to be in constant scientific updating so as not to transmit false information and unravel human myths that are generated by lack of understanding of life-death.
