Pasteur used swan-neck flasks in his experiments to test the validity of spontaneous generation. Suppose that after allowing the

flasks to sit for a day, he had tilted one of these flasks so that the sterile broth entered the swan neck. Suppose he had then tilted the flask back to allow the broth to settle back into the round bowl of the flask before leaving it to sit undisturbed for another few days. What would have happened, and how would these results have affected conclusions about spontaneous generation?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

If Pasteur had tilted one of the flasks so that sterile broth entered the swan neck and then tilted it back to allow the broth to settle back, <em>t</em><u>hat particular flask would have had microbes growing in it after being left undisturbed for a few days. </u>

<em>Allowing the sterile broth to get to the neck of the swan would lead to the contamination of the broth because the swan neck is not sterile. If this had happened, the observation of growth of microbes in one of the flasks would have given further credence to spontaneous generation. </em>

which of the following statements are true regarding active transport and facilitated diffusion (choose two answers) a) Active t
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: B and D

Explanation: We can break down why the correct answers are choices B and D by understanding why A and C are incorrect.

Option A states that active transport utilizes channel proteins, and facilitated diffusion utilizes carrier proteins. This is incorrect. Active transport involves carrier proteins, and facilitated diffusion involves channel proteins. Carrier proteins are different from channel proteins in that, while channel proteins can only facilitate the passive diffusion of ions into or out of the cell along their concentration gradient, carrier proteins can also use ATP to move ions in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient.

This brings us to why option C is also incorrect. Option C states that both processes require the input of energy in the form of ATP. While active transport requires the use of ATP to transport ions with or against their concentration gradient, facilitated diffusion does not. This is easily remembered when we consider that active transport is called *active* transport because the cell is *actively* using energy to transport ions.
