What is flaccidity in biology?
flaccidity is when the cell loses water. these cells are easy to distinguish under a microscope because the cell membrane and contents pull away from the cell wall
What is flaccidity in plants?
it is the expanding of the cell walls of the plant cell due to heat
What are flaccid cells?
If too much water has been lost or not enough water is available, a plant will begin to wilt. When this happens the cells of a plant become flaccid.
What is the meaning of flecidity?
Do you mean flaccidity? Because flecidity isn't a word lol, Flaccidity; adj. 1. Lacking firmness, resilience, or muscle tone. See Synonyms at limp. 2. Lacking vigor or energy: flaccid management. (copyed off google) Also it's like something floppy like when a play doesnt get enough water and the leaves go floppy or, when someone doesn't have really strong muscles :)
If you die will your brain die too?
if you die this is primary flaccidity and lose heat called death chill within minutes blood settle lowermost part of body and color is called livor mortis 3 to 6 hours muscle start to contract 24 hours to 80 hours called secondary flaccidity oxygen cannot produce removing carbon dioxide decompose enzyme eat cells we have microorganisms no more immune system gases produced insect eat it after that it become skeleton after that it decopose into mud
Why chloramphenicol causes gray baby syndrome?
Chloramphenicol is metabolized by the liver. A baby's liver is not mature enough to metabolize this drug. Therefore the levels of Chloramphenicol increase in the baby's body, as there is no way for the baby to get rid of the drug. This causes cardiovascular collapse (severe hypotension), cyanosis, flaccidity, and vomiting.
What does flaccid mean?
flaccidity is when a cells absorbs water and goes soft and limp the water is absorbed through a partially permeable membrane but does not burst because it is protected by a cell surface membrane.Another Answer:limp, soft, or lacking firmness, lacking vitality, lacking energy, or enthusiasm.
The shrinking of plant cells when water leaves so the cell membrane pulls away from the cell is called?
When plant cells absorb water the volume capacity in the vacuole and cytoplasm try to expand outwards with increased pressure . When the cytoplasm pushes against the cell wall, the wall resists the expansion in its rigid structure . As a result the pressure inside the cell increases, because the volume cannot increase. A cell in this condition is called a swollen turgid cell.As the pressure inside the cell increases, water is pushed out of the cell to maintain the concentration of the sap. Eventually a balance is reached between the force drawing water into the cell and the force pushing water out of the cell, and the cell reaches equilibrium for osmosis.Excess water also transpires through the epidermis of the leaf ,stem or root.
Type of active transport that moves large particles into a cell through vesicles?
Endocytosis - the way in which cells take in food and other materials. The cells membrane wraps around the particle it needs on its outside, ingesting it. This then becomes trapped within a vacuole inside the cells cytoplasm where it is broken down, digested, and absorbed by enzymes.
Elaborate turgar pressure?
Turgor pressure is the pressure which is exerted by water to the wall of a cell. For example, if a balloon is filled up with water, it swells as more water draws in. The pressure which the water exerts against the walls of balloon is similar to the turgor pressure exerted against the wall. Turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants. Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis.
What is pontine haemorrhage?
Pontine hemorrhage is a bleeding which occurs in pons. CT Brain is diagnostic... Organophosphate poisoning is ingestion of insect poison. these two has the same clinical picture of "constricted pin point pupil". But in opc poisoning we can smell the kerosene like odor from patient mouth and excessive salivation & secretion will be there..
Why do deers tongues hang out when they die?
Deer Sticking out their TonguesWhen a deer or any animal dies, the muscles involuntarily relax; There is no muscle control to keep the tongue in the mouth or the eyes focused or to keep any muscle in position- this is called 'primary flaccidity.'So, the deer's jaw will open and its tongue will slide right out, the eyes roll back and even the bladder releases whatever is left in it...A few hours after death, though, the opposite happens! The body of the deer (or any animal) will become stiff and the muscles will lock into position- this is called rigor mortis. If the tongue is left untouched it will be rigid outside the open jaw, but of the tongue is tucked back into the mouth, say by a hunter, the tongue will stay rigid inside the closed Jaw.On a sidenote, You can't blame the deer, I would also stick my tongue out at someone who hunted and shot me down.
