What would happen if the concentration gradient were eliminated between a cell and its environment?

Anna007 [38]3 years ago
6 0

The difference between the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient. This concentration gradient between a cell and its environment shows a difference resulting in the simplest form of transport called the passive transport. It is the movement of substances from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration along with the concentration gradient across a semi permeable membrane.

Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration. All these processes are involved in various metabolic activities of the cell. Some of the examples are the movement of water molecules, nutrients, elimination of waste substances, exchange of gases and important life processes like digestion, respiration, excretion, transmission of nerve impulses and others depend on different types of passive transport. On elimination of concentration gradient between a cell and its environment, all the metabolic activities of the cell are inhibited and the cell dies.

Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. Homopolysaccarides are made up of only one type of monomer, whereas heteropolys
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.

Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.

In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.

Why milk eventually goes sour.
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is the lactic acid which makes milk taste sour. Pasteurising milk kills off harmful bacteria and greatly reduces the number of lactobacillus ensuring that milk will last up to three weeks in a fridge. Lactobacillus is a very useful bacterium as the acidic conditions it creates makes a milk protein called casein turn to curd.
