Discuss the Conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell

1 answer:

7 0

When water molecules diffuse through a cell membrane this process is called the osmosis. Water molecules are extremely small and because of this they can slip freely through the gaps between the phospholipids in the cell membrane. And as a result, water molecules can constantly move back and forth though the cell <span>
membrane. This movement of water has a very important function and that is it enables cells to absorb water. </span>

Now for a movement of water molecules to happen, there should be a concentration gradient in the surrounding. That is, the amount of water in one side must be different on the other side.

<span>For water to diffuse INTO the cell, the amount of water outside the cell membrane should be larger than the amount of water inside the side.</span>

Answer:

Option (A) is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

If the hypothesis is correct then we shall be higher than Fst in the rest of the genome in the area environment the cold-shock protein in the genomic region surrounding the cold-shock gene, except for the Fst.

Cold shock components are those product uses that are produced in cold and defend against cold stress. Fst is a gene of ice, present offshore of proteins from cold shock. During cold stress, the fist gene expression increase by several folds to increase cold shock protein production.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
