In an experiment, you measure the concentration of a polar molecule inside and outside a cell. You find that the concentration i

s high and gradually increasing inside the cell. You also measure the ATP concentration inside the cell and find that it is dropping. What is your best hypothesis for the process you are observing?
a) facilitated diffusion
b) passive transport
c) simple diffusion
d) active transport
e) endocytosis

<h2>The correct answer is: d).</h2>

Explanation:

  • Active transport can be defined as the process by which molecules are transported from a region where the concentration of the molecules is low to a region where the concentration of molecule is high across a selectively permeable membrane.
  • Here, the molecules are transported up or opposite to their concentration gradient and so the process requires the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate.
  • In the given question, it is said that the concentration of a polar molecule is high inside the cell initially.
  • But still with time the concentration of the polar molecule continues to increase inside the cell.
  • This is accompanied by the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP as concentration of ATP inside the cell is found to drop gradually.
  • Hence, the given hypothesis describes the process of an Active Transport.

the fertilization of ovules from plant Q by pollen from plant R results in the productions of seeds. What percent of the genes i
Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - zero or 0%.

Explanation:

The fertilization in flowering plants takes place by fusing the pollen of one plant or flower with the ovum of another plant or flower of the same species normally and form a zygote. The zygote gets an equal amount of genetic material from both parent plants by the process f exchange of the genetic material.

The ovum or the egg cell of the plant is considered as the mother and the mother is responsible for the chloroplast And mitochondria of the progeny so in this case, the ovum and egg cell comes from the only plant Q thus, the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0%.
