Some protists, like the paramecium pictured, live in freshwater. Paramecium have contractile vacuoles, which act to pump water o

ut of the cell. Why?
A. There is a lower solute concentration inside so water is moving into the cell constantly
B. There is a higher solute concentration inside so water is moving into the cell constantly
C. There is a lower solute concentration inside so water is moving out of the cell constantly
D. There is a higher solute concentration inside so water is moving out of the cell constantly

The correct answer is option B, that is, there is a higher solute concentration inside so water is moving into the cell constantly.  

The contractile vacuole functions to pump out an extra amount of water from the cell. Paramecium lives in freshwater, where the water exhibits lower solute concentration in comparison to the cytoplasm within the cell. Therefore, due to osmosis, the water will flow within the cell.

The extra amount of water can be accumulated at the contractile vacuole and then be withdrawn out. The frequency and rhythm of the contraction rely on the surrounding and also on the number of contractile vacuoles present.

The greenhouse effect got its name because it?
Usimov [2.4K]
The correct answer is letter c. traps heat.

The Earth's Atmosphere deals with the sunlight it absorbs in the day, absorbing it and spreading it, which heats up the planet, but at night, the sunlight absorbed weakens and the Earth cools up, but due to the greenhouse effect, it traps certain amounts of heat, which results to hotness of the weather. Greenhouse Effect doubles the heat, because it traps heat when heat tries to leave our atmosphere.

Which two types of molecules are formed as a product of cellular respiration?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

the most simple answer would be co2 and h20 since they are two molecular waste products formed as a result of cellular respiration, but ATP is also a product and is a molecule. So the question itself is faulty, since there are three products in cellular respiration.

It depends on how you learned it, but it says 2 so I would go with CO2 and H20.

When is the lac operon most active?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option WHEN GLUCOSE LEVELS ARE LOW AND LACTOSE IS PRESENT.

Explanation: To start with,Lac operon can be simply defined as a part of the DNA that is under the part of the DNA is manipulated and controlled by the same promoter,they can be found in some prokaryotic cells giving room for regulation over excess synthesis of protein.so simply put,these specific segment of the DNA binds with the segment of the polymerase of RNA so that transcription of the mRNA from the operon genes will be achieved.

Lac operon is also known as lactose operon, it is seen in some enteric bacteria like e.coli where they play a crucial role in coding of genes for those proteins that function in moving lactose into the cystocel and digesting it to form glucose that is used for energy generation. These lac operon are are most active when glucose levels are low and lactose is present,with the low level of glucose, the lac operon can be transcribed to a high level,this is to ascertain that the bacteria only gets to activate the lac operon and can only make use of it,that is using lactose when all the preferred energy source from glucose has been exhausted.
