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.

stars of average mass, such as our sun, undergo fusion. what is the most massive element that can result from this process
Gennadij [26K]
It depends on the life stage that the star is in. Currently, in the mid-life stage, the sun is still fusing hydrogen into helium, so the maximum here is helium; however, far in the future when the star is nearing its final days, it can fuse atoms into elements as heavy as iron and nickel.

Alinara [238K]
Maybe it’s because in order the get the same apple you breed more of that apple? It would take less time than natural selection since the genes of that certain apple may not appear for a few generations. If this makes any sense let me know because I’m just as confused as you are.
