That term is known as osmosis in biology. There is also two other types of transport across the cell membrane known as passive transport and active transport. Passive transport is the movement of particles with the normal gradient of the cell. On the other hand, active transport requires the use of an ATP particle (aka energy) and moves particles against the normal gradient of the cell membrane,

If a single bacteriophage infects one E. coli cell present on a lawn of bacteria and, upon lysis, yields 175 viable viruses, how

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

9.378*10^8

Explanation:

The number of phages in each cycle $= 175$

The number of host infected in each cycle $= 175$

The number of phages released by each hosts in each turn $= 175$

There are total $4$ cycle .

So the total number of phages that exist in a single plaque if 3 more lytic cycles occur

$= 175*175*175*175\\= 175^4\\= 9.378*10^8$

How do earthquakes and volcanos affect the rate of weathering and erosion? Explain?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Earthquakes generally increase the rate of weathering and erosion because the energy transmitted through rocks, especially, shear waves (secondary waves) will break rocks. Volcanos emit gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur that will cause acidic precipitation. This acidic precipitation will dissolve some elements in the rocks hence weakening them and increasing the rate of erosion.
