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

e, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Given this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells

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.

explain how a change in the sequence of nucleotide in a strand of DNA might cause a protein to malfunction
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: Proteins are made using DNA as a template. The DNA is turned into RNA, and the RNA is then turned into DNA. 

A change in these nucleotides could end up making some part of the protein different. A single nucleotide change could be silent (no change in the protein) or could change a single amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins). If that was an important amino acid, the protein might not function at all! A silent change can occur because the same set of nucleotides sometimes makes the same final amino acid (for example, reading "gcc" "gca" "gcg" or "gct" nucleotides all mean "alanine" amino acid). 

The deletion of a single nucleotide, or the addition of one, can change the entire sequence of amino acids that come after it! Nucleotides are read in sets of three, so this throws off how the DNA is read. If would be like turning "The brown fox jumps over the dog" into "The gbrow nfo xjump sove rth edo g". Completely different! All of the words are thrown off.

How do baroreceptor reflexes would respond to a fall in blood pressure?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Barroreceptors are specific type of receptors that are present within the membrane or wells of the blood vessels and monitor the changes occur in blood pressure.

The major and important barroreceptors are located in carotid sinus and the aorta for detecting fluctuation in the blood pressure. If blood pressure falls these receptors firing rate decreases and barroceptors reflexes act to increase heart rate in order to restore blood pressure in an individual.

Thus, the correct answer would be - increasing heart rate.
