Cells must be alive to use energy and do work dose passive transport occur in a cell that is dead? Why or why not?

Biology

Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3>Yes, Passive transport can occur in dead cells.</h3>

Explanation:

For passive transport to occur, a concentration gradient has to be formed across a permeable or semi-permeable membrane. If the cell membrane of the dead cell, which is a semipermeable membrane, is intact and a concentration gradient has formed on both sides, passive transport can occur.

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of solute molecules  across the membrane. Passive transport will allow solute molecules to travel from the higher concentration of the solute to the lower concentration across a membrane till equilibrium is reached, that is, both the sides of the membrane has equal concentration of the solute.

The transport of the solvent can occur as well, from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Answer: Lek Polygyny

Explanation:

Polygyny is a mating system inwhich one male is associated with multiple females. This mating system is found in a few birds and insects, but is most common in mammals. Polygyny is a strategy used by males to increase their reproductive fitness.

Lek polygyny is a system where male aggregate at a location and try to attract females for mating and the females leave after mating. It is believed that males attract more mate in this way than in isolation.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

These facts are true and disturbing

Explanation:

Genetics is a discipline that has advanced incredibly in the last years. For example, by using the versatile CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, we are now able to insert literally any sequence into a given genome in vivo. The CRISPR-Cas9 is a technology that can be used in a regular molecular biology laboratory. It is expected this technique will enable in the near future to correct genetic disorders that have plagued mankind since times immemorial. However, genomic technologies like that could be used by malignant persons to hurt innocent people, thereby it is imperative that countries regulate their use.
