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

Biology

Natalka [10]3 years ago

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 is the function of RBC
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it contracts as water is drawn out of the cell and into the surrounding solution. If the same blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the blood cell grows in size. Blood cells in isotonic solutions do not shrink or swell.

The reason that blood cells change in size when placed in a solution with different salt concentration is due to the osmosis process. Osmosis causes solutions with high concentrations of salt to draw water from areas with low concentrations of salt.

There are some exceptions to this phenomenon. Blood cells can draw water and explode when placed in hypertonic solution on some special occasions. Some diseases affect the structural integrity of blood cells. Also, when human blood cells are exposed to temperatures close to freezing, they can draw water and explode.

Osmosis is an important phenomenon for living systems. The amount of salt in a given solution exhibits a tendency to diffuse through the environment, eventually resulting in equilibrium. In addition to blood cells, the kidneys function through the use of osmotic principles. The kidneys filter an animal's blood to remove excess salt and balance the amount of water

What is the percent of the genes on the chromosome?
kati45 [8]
Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

Hope this helps
