Ratio of osmosis is calculated via equation rate = (change in mass)/(time), which means that


Ratio of osmosis in cucumber is: (12-14 g) / 5 min (300 s)= -0.006 g/s


Percentage change in mass would be= (14 – 12) ÷ 12 × 100 = 2 ÷ 12 × 100 = +17%

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Nine

Explanation:

These are called carrier proteins, and they have what it is called: solute-binding sites, that when saturated, they are considered "full".

Each different amino acid needs a separate carrier protein to move it across the plasma membrane, so that's 3, then the four different sugars need separate carriers as well, we add 4 more then, we have 7 so far, finally the 2 different ions use 2 more, plus the other 7, totals 9.
