THE TOXIC ACTION OF COPPER ON NITELLA [PDF]
1. Using the loss of turgidity of the cells as a criterion it is found that the toxicity curve of copper chloride with Nitella is sigmoid. An empirical equation can be constructed which will approximately fit the curve. 2. When the concentration of the copper chloride is varied the toxic effect varies as a constant, fractional, power of ...

Potassium transference in Nitella. [PDF]
Transmembrane movements of K+ and Cl- were studied under a variety of experimental conditions. Potassium was found to carry more than 50% of an externally applied inward positive current. The increase in K+ influx was much greater than that predicted by the purely passive model.

“Shape of Cell”—An Auxin and Cell Wall Duet
ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms underlying cell shape acquisition is of fundamental importance in plant science, as this process ultimately defines the structure and function of plant organs. Plants produce cells of diverse shapes and sizes, including pavement cells and stomata of leaves, elongated epidermal cells of the hypocotyl, and cells with

THE DIRECT CURRENT RESISTANCE OF NITELLA [PDF]
The electrical resistance of Nitella cells to direct current is determined in a Wheatstone bridge, using a vacuum-tube detector, and string galvanometer. Very small currents are passed through the cells, to avoid stimulation. The galvanometer record shows typical transient effects in the living cells at opening and closing of the circuit, due to the ...

Summary The ability to accumulate nutrients is a hallmark for living creatures and plants evolved highly effective nutrient transport systems, especially for the uptake of potassium (K+). However, plants also developed mechanisms that enable the rapid extrusion of K+ in combination with anions.

Recreational land use contributes to the loss of marine biodiversity
Abstract Coastal areas are at the centre of human–nature relationship, shaped by recreation, tourism and aesthetic values. However, socioeconomic drivers of biodiversity change in coastal areas have received less attention. Soft sediment seafloors support diverse species communities and contribute to ecosystem functionality.
