ugh the plasma membrane?
A) There is random movement of substances into and out of the cell.
B) All movement of molecules across the plasma membrane occurs by active transport.
C) There is directed movement of substances into and out of the cell.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the net movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. The difference in concentration between two environments creates a concentration gradient which is what drives diffusion. Therefore, this movement does not require aid such as extra energy molecules for active transport or integral membrane proteins for directed movement, hence the answer is not B nor C. If the cell is in equilibrium with its environment, it means that the concentration of substances inside the cell is equal to the concentration outside the cell, and any movement that takes place will be random movement of substances across the plasma memberane. Movement in the cell will not cease as the cell is still active. Therefore, the answer cannot be D either.

What is the difference between menstrual cramps and pms?
mote1985 [20]
Well the first difference is that PMS is mostly a psychological and somewhat physical syndrome. The proof is that the symptoms of PMS are irritability, stress and dysphoria. There is of course a lot of other symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, headache, fatigue, mood swings, and increased emotional sensitivity. The cause of PMS are the changes in levels of estrogen and progesterone. Now, menstrual cramps are physical condition. The symptom is pain in lower abdomen. And the cause is the menstruation itself. So there you have the differences. PMS as its own name says (Premenstrual syndrome) occurs before menstruation, more accurately 5 - 10 days before menstruation which is luteal phase of menstrual cycle. Menstrual cramps can occur several days before menstruation or can occur when menstruation starts, and they slowly disappear as menstruation slowly ends

The process of transcription and splicing of mRNA is shown above. What statement accurately describes these two steps?
devlian [24]

Transcription and splicing only occur in eukaryotic cells. Transcription and splicing both occur in the nucleus.

Explanation:

Transcription is mediated by RNA polymerases that transcribe the DNA into RNA. In eukaryotes, because coding regions (exons) on the DNA are occasionally interspersed with non-coding regions (introns), the formed RNA (usually called nascent RNA) need to be spliced to remove the non-coding parts. This forms a mature messenger-RNA. All this occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and only after the mature mRNA is formed is it exported to the cytosol for translation into proteins by ribosomes.

Splicing does not occur in prokaryotic cells because their genome is all composed of coding regions. Therefore transcription on DNA produces, directly, a mature mRNA.

13. What two sub-processes do NADH and FADH2 cycle between? What do they do at each location?
slamgirl [31]

NADH and FADH2 cycle is responsible for the production of small amount of energy in the form of ATP.

<h3>What occur in the NADH and FADH2 cycle? </h3>

FADH2 and NADH are created through reduction-oxidation reactions in the Krebs cycle. This cycle produces small amounts of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and also responsible for the production of compounds i.e. FADH2 and NADH. NADH produces 3 ATP whereas FADH2 produces 2 ATP molecules

So we can conclude that NADH and FADH2 cycle is responsible for the production of small amount of energy in the form of ATP.
