Question
Chapter 38.5, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How do plants and animal differ with regard to the type of compartment in which statoliths are found and the physiological mechanism for detecting their response to gravity.
Introduction:
The granules which are formed with the grains of the sand are known as statoliths, which are present in the chamber lined with ciliated receptor cells. The statoliths are present in statocyst organ and act as mechanoreceptor. The statoliths help in maintaining balance and sensing the gravity.

Describe the relationship between water potential with solute potential and pressure potential in plants. Plant cell P has a solute potential of-350 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Besides, is plant cell Q which has a solute potential of -500 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Determine the direction of net movement of water between the two cells by using the water potential equation. Explain the characteristics of water that make it such an important medium for life.

- Which of the following events does not occur during light absorption in the vertebrate eye? The retinal component of rhodopsin changes from cis to trans form. Rhodopsin, a G-proteincoupled receptor, triggers a signaltransduction pathway to close Na+ channels in the plasmamembrane. The light stimulus passes from rods and cones to bipolar cellsand horizontal cells and then to ganglion cells, whose axonscompose the optic nerve. As light absorption increases, the rhodopsin response causesan increase in the release of neurotransmitters. When integrating information across the retina, horizontalcells connect the rods and cones, and amacrine cells join with the bipolar cells and ganglion cells.arrow_forwardPlease answer question 2arrow_forwardWhat does the abscission zone do in leaves?
