<span>A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of the other, as though the observer were itself acting. Such neurons have been directly observed in primate species.</span>
The stem
1.is responsible for the transport of food and water from the roots and leaves to the other parts of the plant
2. The stem holds the plant upright or erect
3. It also stores the nutrients
4. It also produces new living tissues
Hope this helps!!!
Semipermeable means only certain substances can pass through. I imagine you are talking about cell membranes which are semipermeable. This means vital things like oxygen and nutrients are able to pass through the membrane, while not allowing everything to enter the cell
Answer:
The binding of chemical messengers to receptors often results in a shape change, which affects receptor function.
Explanation:
Binding of specific chemical messengers to the corresponding receptors of target cells brings about change in the shape of the receptors. This structural change in the receptor results in the generation of the desired response. It reflects how the form and specific configuration of substances or biomolecules affect their functions.
For example, binding of neurotransmitters to the receptors present on neurons opens the associated ligand-gated ion channels to allow the movement of specific ions through it. In the absence of bound ligand, these channels are present in a closed conformation.
Capsid is the component of a virus that is lacking in its cell
A capsid is the protein shell that surrounds a virus. Capsids functions by protecting the nucleic acids of a virus while interacting with the host environment. Capsids are made up of many oligomeric structural subunits that contains the protein; protomers. Capsids are generally grouped based on their structure. The common ones are helical and icosahedral.
