Answer:
D
Explanation:
When a substance moves from low to high concentration it is moving against its concentration gradient, which requires more energy.
A. It depends on where it is moving, not the substance
OB. This is describing diffusion
OC. Does not require energy, it is passive transport through a semi-permeable membrane
<u>Answer:</u>
The process of "Osmosis" is modeled in the plant cell diagrams seen here.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Osmosis is the natural gross migration of solvent particles into a zone of higher solute concentration via a selectively permeable membrane, in the path that seeks to balance the amounts of solvents on both the ends. Osmosis as biological membranes are semipermeable, is a critical mechanism in biological systems.
Such membranes are usually impenetrable to massive and polar molecules like polysaccharides, ions and proteins while being porous to hydrophobic or non-polar molecules like lipids and to small molecules as carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitric oxides and nitrogen.
Answer:
e. staphylococcal enterotoxin
Explanation:
Staphylococcal enterotoxin is a toxin that is produced by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. It is a toxin found inside the gastrointestinal tracts of the human body which is why it is called an enterotoxin and it results in food poisoning when consumed by humans.
Staphylococcal enterotoxin is proteinous in nature and it can be found on dairy products such as milk or cheeses that have been contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus.
After consumption of the contaminated milk or cheeses, the person begins to experience symptoms of nausea, diarrhea as well as vomiting.
Staphylococcal enterotoxin is a very heat stable toxin which means even though you heat up a food contaminated with this toxin, the bacteria may die by the toxins would still remain in the food.
The best way to avoid food poisoning by Staphylococcal enterotoxin is to avoid eating contaminated foods.
