Glucose is a six-carbon sugar that diffuses slowly through artificial phospholipid bilayers. The cells lining the small intestin

Answer:

The correct answer is:  Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions through a biological membrane through specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Glucose is a large molecule, so it would be very difficult for it to go through the phospholipid bilayer, as so, facilitated diffusion is the transport mechanism that functions in the absorption of glucose in the intestinal cells.

Which body composition measuring system uses the volume of a controlled chamber compared to body volume to determine bodyfat per
krok68 [10]

Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) measures the volume of a controlled chamber compared to body volume to determine body fat percentage.

<h3>What is Air displacement plethysmography (ADP)?</h3>

A two-component model called air displacement plethysmography (ADP) measures mass and volume, allowing for an assessment of body density (Db). This allows for the estimate of fat and fat-free mass using body density, which is calculated by dividing mass by volume (FFM).

With air-displacement plethysmography, an object's volume is indirectly determined by calculating how much air it displaces inside a sealed chamber (plethysmograph). Therefore, a patient is placed inside the chamber and their body volume is measured by how much air they can move while sitting within.

"The application of evolutionary theory to the debate over modern human origins focuses on which process of evolution?"
sammy [17]

Answer:

The process of gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow refers to the transference of genetic variation from one population to another. High rates of gene flow are known to modify the allele frequencies and reduce genetic differences among groups. Gene flow limits the process of speciation by combining gene pools form different groups. In humans, for example, it has been shown that migration in the past decreased genetic variation among their populations, thereby leading to the homogenization of genotype frequencies among geographic groups. It is for that reason that in population genetics the concept of 'human races' is now often recognized as erroneous and inadequate.

If a plant cell is placed in a salt water solution, where the concentration of water is greater in the solution than in the cell
-Dominant- [34]
Salt reduces the amount of water in a solution, because you're introducing another molecule. If the water concentrations are different, the water is going to want to reach an equilibrium to balance itself out. Because the salt solution has a higher water concentration than the plant cell, the water will move into the cell to try and balance out the concentrations. If the salt solution had a lower water concentration (water potential) then water would move from the cell into the solution.
