An organism is discovered that thrives in both the presence and absence of oxygen in the air. Curiously, the consumption of suga

Answer:

The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.  

An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.  

All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.

Your lab group is experimenting with the diffusion of molecules across a membrane. Dialysis tubing is used as a model cell membr
Margaret [11]

Answer: the membrane channel

Explanation:

In passive diffusion, the small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer seen in blue. This layer acts as a semi-permeable or selectively permeable membrane; its hydrophilic heads are attracted to water (seen facing outwards) while its water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing  molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Thus the water will move from an area of high concentration  to an area of low concentration, until the system reaches a steady state called equilibrium- after this, there will be no net movement of water. Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

The dialysis tubing mimics a semi permeable membrane; it only allows water and small molecules of iodine to cross into the bag containing starch. The tubing is impermeable to starch;  these large molecules require the aid of protein omplexes called membrane channels, in order to move across the membrane and against the concentration gradient.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Codeine

Explanation:

Codeine is an opiate and is used to treat mild and moderate pain. It is also the main ingredient in prescription based cough suppressant. It belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics.

Codeine is a naturally occurring phenanthrene alkaloid with opioid agonist and can be extracted directly from the plant although most codeine is synthesized from the opium poppy.

The analytical approach to understanding the diversity and relatedness of both extant and extinct organisms is called __________
maxonik [38]

Answer: Systematics

Explanation:

Systematics is the study of diversity of organisms including past and present and relationships among living things. Systematics as analytical approach, help us to understand the diversity and relatedness of both existing and extinct organisms. Systematics is also important in carrying out the conservation issues because, it attempts to explain the biodiversity which is related to different kinds of species and could be used in preservation and protect the endangered animals and plants.
