Which is the MOST accurate description of diffusion of materials through the cell membrane in order to maintain homeostasis?

Chemistry

Lelechka [254]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process of the movement of solute particles on the basis of the concentration gradient.

During homeostasis or the process of maintaining the internal environment of the body, the nutrients which could be the molecules or ions move from the region of high concentration or amount to a region of their low concentration through the cell membrane.

The concentration of calcium inside the cells during homeostasis is maintained by the diffusion of the calcium ions. Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Hello there! 

I believe "<span>b. Nutrients move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration." is correct!

Have a cool day! -Wajiha</span>

Silicon has 2 isotopes, Silicon-28 with an abundance of 90% and Silicon-30 with an abundance of 10%. Find the AAM for Silicon.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

RAM

RAM = (mass \: of \:  ^{28} Si \:  \times \%abundance) + (mass \: of \:  ^{30} Si \:  \times \%abundance) \\ RAM = (28 \times 90\%) + (30 \times 10\%) \\ RAM = 25.2 + 3 \\ RAM = 28.2

Would an opah fish be better suited to live in cold water or warm water? explain why
Kaylis [27]

Don't blame me if you get it wrong i'm a dumb but yet successful student

Warm blood gives deep-sea fish a boost, according to Wegner. The opah's muscles and nervous system likely function faster than an equivalent fish with cold blood. ... This fish, the southern opah, lives in colder waters than the northern opah, so it would be harder to keep warm, Wegner said — but even more beneficial.

A critical reaction in the production of energy in biological systems is the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adeno
Archy [21]

Answer:

ΔG° of reaction =  -47.3 x 10^{3} J/mol      

Explanation:

As we can see, we have been a particular reaction and Energy values as well.

ΔG° of reaction = -30.5 kJ/mol

Temperature = 37°C.

And we have to calculat the ΔG° of reaction in the biological cell which contains ATP, ADP and HPO4-2:

The first step is to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

Equilibrium Constant K = \frac{[HPO4-2] x [ADP]}{ATP}

And we have values given for these quantities in the biological cell:

[HP04-2] = 2.1 x 10^{-3} M

[ATP] = 1.2 x 10^{-2} M

[ADP] = 8.4 x 10^{-3} M

Let's plug in these values in the above equation for equilibrium constant:

K = \frac{[2.1x10^{-3}] x [8.4x10^{-3}] }{[1.2 x 10^{-2}] }

K = 1.47 x 10^{-3} M

Now, we have to calculate the ΔG° of reaction for the biological cell:

But first we have to convert the temperature in Kelvin scale.

Temp = 37°C

Temp = 37 + 273

Temp = 310 K

ΔG° of reaction = (-30.5 10^{3}) + (8.314)x (310K)xln(0.00147)

Where 8.314 = value of Gas Constant

ΔG° of reaction = (-30.5 x 10^{3}) + (-16810.68)

ΔG° of reaction = -47.3 x 10^{3} J/mol
