Answer:
D. The presence of aquaporins (proteins that form water channels in the membrane) should speed up the process of osmosis.
Explanation:
Water moves in the cells through osmosis which means water moves from its higher concentration to lower concentration. In many animals and plants, water channels are also present which is called aquaporins which allow the water to move through it in and out of cell more quickly.
The rate of diffusion by channel proteins is higher than simple diffusion therefore the aquaporins speed up the process of osmosis. No ATP is required to transport the water through aquaporin channel proteins.
Answer:
TACGAT
Explanation:
Guanine matches with cytosine
adenine matches with thymine
Answer:
Basidiocarp
Explanation:
This is a multicellular structure found in mushroom that are visible to the naked eye and are spore producing. They are the structures of which spore producing basidia are formed. They called called false ruffles. The basidiocarps serve as the structure on which the hymenium is produced. They are the fruiting bodies of mushroom.
Answer:
Concentration gradient
Explanation:
Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.
Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
C. The cell must be a plant cell.
Only plant cells have cell walls. Bacteria cells and animal cells do not. Both animal cells and plant cells have membrane-bound organelles, but since the student saw a cell wall, it must be a plant cell.
Hope this helps! :)
