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.

Explanation:

One of the main differences between prokaryotes and wukaryotes is that the last ones have a nucleus and organelles with their own membranes. <em>This carachteristic allow them to organize into multicellular organisms isolating different processes (enzymes, reactants) making them easier to manage and more efficient due to the smaller volume that increase the rate of reactions.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Which one of the following statements holds true for the induced-fit model? Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate mole
muminat
<span>Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, structural changes can occur in the active site to accommodate the product. This structural change lowers the activations energy and increases the rate of the reaction. The active site changes its shape until an enzyme-substrate complex is formed and activated.</span>

If the producers in a food web were removed, which of the following changes would most likely occur?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

If the producers would be removed in the food web, then the whole ecosystem would fall down and die.

Explanation:

The reason why producers are important in a food chain is because they provide food for the herbivore animals, and then, the carnivore animals kill and eat the herbivore ones, and whatever is left, is eaten by the decomposers. So, if we remove the root of the tree (producers), then can the tree(rest of food web) survive? The simple answer is NO.

So, Hence, the ecosystem won't be able to last long, all animals will die.
