Part of all organic compounds

Carbon

Carbon is the main component of organic compounds infact it is the part of definition of organic compounds that they are carbon based such as alcohols, carboxylic acid, glucose and sucrose

Component of bones and found in cell membranes

Phosphorus

Phosphorus, in the form of phosphate is an important component of cellular membrane,bones and other high-energy nucleic acids and phosphate compounds. Therefore it has an important role in as extracellular and intracellular constituent.

Important component of proteins, like carbon

Nitrogen

Proteins play a major role in our body i form of enzymes which are an integral part of all the chemical reactions occurring in the body. An important component of every protein of the world is Nitrogen because it is a part of basic structure of amino acids.

Universal solvent

Water

Water is a universal solvent as it can dissolve almost anything.

.The pollen-producing structures of gymnosperms are locked away in cones and generally not accessible to insects. What mechanism

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Wind

Explanation:

Gymnosperms can be described as plants which lack flowers and fruits.

As they do not have flowers to attract insects like the angiosperms, they can, however, transfer their pollen through the wind. As pollen is very light in weight hence, it can be transported by the wind. The pollen transported by the wind usually results in self-pollination as the wind is not able to take the pollen to long distances.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. 1. Rod cells are depolarized in the dark. (Click to select) 2. Glutamate binds

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1. true, 2. true, 3. false, and 4. true.

Explanation:

1. Rod cells are the photoreceptors present in the retina that are hyperpolarized not depolarized in dark due to sodium ions efflux.

2. Depolarisation of the bipolar cell of the retina by glutamate release by rods and cones.

3. The adaption according to the light is known as a light adaptation which takes place due to a large part of photochemical in both rods and cones which is reduced to retinal and opsins.

4. when the light reaction takes place retinal converted to opsin
