Which of the following statements is true about passive transport?
user100 [1]

Answer:

No cellular energy is needed in the Passive transport.

Explanation:

A movement of atomic molecules and ions throughout the cell membrane is known as passive transport. In this transportation of molecules no cellular energy is used.

As this movement is influenced by the tendency to grow as entropy, the energy is not in need unlike the active transport. Its rate depends on the permeability of cell membrane. There are four types of passive transport- facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion osmosis or filtration.

dedylja [7]

Answer:  B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria

Explanation:

Paneth cells, so-called because they were first described by Dr. Josef Paneth in 1888, are pyramidal cells, with the nucleus in the basal position, and with large granules in the apical position. Its first isolated specific product was the lysozyme, a bactericidal substance, by Alexander Flemming. These cells play an important role in innate immunity in the small intestine, producing a wide diversity of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes such as lysozyme itself, cryptidines, defensins and a lectin with bactericidal properties.

Arachidonic acid is the raw material for synthesis of
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is E. Arachidonic acid is the raw material for synthesis of eicosanoids.

Explanation:

Arachidonic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid formed by a 20-carbon chain with four double bonds. The presence of double bonds causes this molecule to have several sites that can be oxidized, allowing the formation of different lipids with different biological activities.

Arachidonic acid is part of phospholipids in cell membranes, and is the precursor of eicosanoid biosynthesis. Arachidonic acid can be synthesized from linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids required by most mammals.
