What experiment demonstrated the function of proteins that allow diffusion facilitated?

Biology
1 answer:
denpristay [2]3 years ago
5 0

The experiment by Peter Agre who discovered the protein Aquaporin demonstrated the function of proteins that allow facilitated diffusion of water.

Explanation:

Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitated diffusion of water. Agre was able to prove its function when a frog’s oocytes showed increased water permeability when an unknown protein (membranous) from the RBCs was introduced into them. The oocytes without proteins did not facilitate water diffusion.  

Aquaporins are membranous proteins that belong to larger intrinsic proteins but act as pores on the cellular membranes to facilitate water diffusion.

A student forms the following hypothesis: If people eat white chocolate, then they will be happier. Describe at least TWO proble
Gnom [1K]
One problem with this hypothesis is that the student didn't write about why this hypothesis might work - what is the underlying mechanism. The thing is that one might want to write the underlying mechanism or explanation in his hypothesis. Another problem with this hypothesis is that it's very hard to measure and be sure that following exposure to white chocolate, people are happier and that it's not a consequence of something else.

Vitamin water contains about as many calories as a soft drink. <br> a. True <br> b. False
lana66690 [7]
The answer is True

The calorie that you get from drinking vitamin water mostly comes from sugar/carbohydrate. The sugar content of vitamin water is high enough to become close with a soft drink. The calorie content would be around 6 calories per ounce.
