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 following are the steps for B-cell activation. The steps are in an incorrect order.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

4. B cells become activated by interacting with helper T cells.  

1. B cells display antigens in MHC class II receptors on the cell surface.  

2. Antibodies released by plasma cells bind to the antigen so they will be destroyed by other cells of the immune system.

3.B cells rearrange their DNA to create a unique B-cell receptor.  

5. B cells undergo clonal expansion.

6. B cells digest antigens that bind to the antibodies on their surface.

Explanation:

B-cells get activated by interacting with helper T cells when they bind to the antigen to receptors i.e (MHC class II receptors on the cell surface) on the surface of the cell. Series of activities such as release by plasma cells which cause rearrangement of B cells causes the cell to divide and proliferate. The process through which daughter cells arise from a parent cell called clonal expansion.

Which cellular structures are found in plant cells but NOT in animal cells?
Anestetic [448]
a. chloroplast and cell wall

The chloroplast contains chlorophyll, which is the stuff that makes plants green. So animals do not have a chloroplast. Only plants have a cell wall and it is what helps plants maintain their shape. Hope this helped! :)

How can energy from the motion of the crank on a hand-powerd flashlight produce heat?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

When you manually crank the flashlight, a coil of wire inside the generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This allows an electrical current to flow through the flashlight, thus lighting the bulb of the flashlight.
