Answer and Explanation:
The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.
Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.
The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.
Cell regulation is conducted by special proteins. These special
proteins are enzymes which help in the regulation of bodily function. They hasten
the chemical reaction such as pepsin. Pepsin is a protein that helps in the
digestion of food in the body.
Always melt chocolate slowly, at a low temperature. The melting point of chocolate is between 86 degrees F. (30 degrees C.) and 90 degrees F.
converting food into smaller molecules
<u>Answer</u>:
Smaller planets would dissipate heat more rapidly and this criteria doesn't satisfy the conditions of existence of life.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The existence of life on Earth was possible because it fulfilled the criteria needed for the conditions of generating life in a planet. Its distance from sun is appropriate, it is made up of rock, it is big enough to have a core which is molten and it has a magnetic field. If it was a smaller planet, then it would have a liquid hot core that dissipate heat at a rapid rate. This condition doesn't support the criteria of life's existence.
