Aquaporins are channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water across the cell membrane. One group of researchers hypoth

esizes that without functional aquaporins, no water will be able to enter the cell. A different group proposes an alternative hypothesis, stating that even with nonfunctional aquaporins, a small amount of water will still cross the cell membrane. An experiment is set up in which plant cells with mutated (nonfunctional) aquaporins and plant cells with normally functioning aquaporins are both placed in distilled water. Which of the following data would support the alternative hypothesis?

Answer:

The plant cells with mutated (nonfunctional) aquaporins support the alternative hypothesis stated by different groups.

Explanation:

Aquaporins are proteins which are responsible for the transportation of water molecules across the semipermeable membrane of the cell. The main function of Aquaporins is to allow water molecules into the cell and block the passage for the ion molecules. Water can also pass through cell membrane through simple diffusion that support the alternative hypothesis.

Surprisingly, in a number of reactions in which either ATP or GTP are involved, the critical event is not due to the hydrolysis
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "phosphorylation of glucose".

Explanation:

The phosphorylation of glucose is one of the most important catabolic reactions that allow to obtain energy from sugars. This reaction is the first step of glycolysis and avoid cells to lose sugars by diffusing back to its transporter. The phosphate used to phosphorylate glucose comes from the hydrolysis of one of the three phosphate of adenosine triphosphate. Therefore, phosphorylation of glucose is a processes where ATP hydrolysis is directly involved.

A student has twenty identical young plants how does the amount of water given to these plants each day effect how tall the plan
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The amount of water given to the plants depends on the effect of how tall the plant can overall grow. For instance, if all twenty identical plants are being given the same amount of water, then they will grow all at equal rates. However, if there is not equal amount/consistency with the amount of water the plants receive, then this factor may contribute to an uneven growth pattern between all twenty plants. However, other factors (such as location, sunlight, etc.) may also contribute to a plant's growth.
