Which solute is least likely to cross a membrane by simple diffusion?

Biology
2 answers:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Ions of sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride.

Explanation:

Simple diffusion allows very small, non-polar, fat-soluble molecules to cross the plasma membrane into or out of the cell through a concentration gradient. In addition, it is necessary that these molecules cannot have electrical charges, which prevents sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride ions from crossing the plasma membrane, even if they are very small.

Simple diffusion only allows small molecules to pass through the cell membrane. It is unlikely for dissolved sodium ions to cross the membrane as it is too large. Simple diffusion only occurs for non-polar small molecules that can pass through the membrane.

What happens to macromolecules from food during digestion?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

. Chemical digestion is the biochemical process in which macromolecules in food are changed into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into body fluids and transported to cells throughout the body. Substances in food that must be chemically digested include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

2.A fat molecule, such as a triglyceride, consists of two main components—glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is an organic compound with three carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, and three hydroxyl (–OH) groups.

3. If it's in the table, it's an element! Atoms can join together - they form bonds together - to make MOLECULES. For example, two atoms of hydrogen hook together to form a molecule of hydrogen, H2 for short.

4. When atoms join together to form molecules, they are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons between the atoms. It is only the electrons in the outermost shell that ever get involved in bonding.

A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements. There are two main types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together: covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds. Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds. An oxygen molecule (O2) is a good example of a molecule with a covalent bond.

5.Beginning with energy sources obtained from their environment in the form of sunlight and organic food molecules, eukaryotic cells make energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADH via energy pathways including photosynthesis, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Explain how this experiment showed that gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Due to no transfer of resistance allele.

Explanation:

The gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance because the characteristics can't be transferred from one generation to the next generation. The organisms are evolved to become an antibiotic resistance due to their environmental conditions and this resistance quality is only present in the existing population and the alleles that are responsible for this resistance can't be transferred from the bacteria to the next generation so the experiment showed that gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance
