Starch cannot diffuse across the membrane because starch molecules are too large to fit through the pores in the dialysis tubing, whereas iodine is a smaller molecule and therefore can diffuse across.

Answer:

The correct reason would be their size difference iodine are small while starch molecules are large to pass through the membrane.

Explanation:

The permeability of the membrane also depends on the size of the molecule. The large molecule can not pass even though all other conditions are in their favor. For example Iodine molecules are small enough to go through the membrane freely, however starch molecules are too large and complex to pass through the membrane.

Thus, The correct reason would be their size difference iodine are small while starch molecules are large to pass through the membrane.

Which statements accurately describe how fructose metabolism in the liver differs from glucose metabolism?

tiny-mole [99]

The fructose 1-phosphate pathway can deplete intracellular phosphate/ ATP.

Explanation:

Fructose 1-phosphate is a derivative of fructose. For understanding in better way fructose metabolism has three enzymes. Fructose- bisphosphate aldolase B, fructokinase and Adenosine triphosphate. These all are present in liver and kidney of human as well rat. In liver rapidly fructose is change to fructose 1 through fructokinase.

After it is converted into trioses dihydroxyacetone phosphate as well as glyceraldehyde through aldolase. With glucose metabolism Fructose get synergistic effect

Triassic Period (252 to 201 million years ago)

All continents during the Triassic Period were part of a single land mass called Pangaea. This meant that differences between animals or plants found in different areas were minor.

The climate was relatively hot and dry, and much of the land was covered with large deserts. Unlike today, there were no polar ice caps.

It was in this environment that the reptiles known as dinosaurs first evolved. Reptiles tend to flourish in hot climates because their skin is less porous than, for example, mammal skin, so it loses less water in the heat. Reptile kidneys are also better at conserving water.
