"Facilitative transporter of glucose" is not a role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

<u>Option:</u> B

<u>Explanation:</u>

A protein and chloride pathway of membrane, in vertebrates encoded with the CFTR gene is understood as "Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)". The CFTR gene codes for an ABC-class transporter ion channel protein that conducts chloride ions through epithelial membranes of cells.

The protein helps to keep the salt and water equilibrium on many surfaces in the body, including the lung surface. When the protein doesn't work properly, chloride — a salt part — gets trapped in cells.

1.What is the difference between evaporation and transpiration? What role does each process play in the water cycle?
anygoal [31]
1. Evaporation is the escape of water molecules from their liquid phase to gas phase that go up into the atmosphere. Evaporation can occur anywhere where open liquid water is exposed to sunlight or any other source of energy. Transpiration, on the other hand, is the loss of water (by evaporation) from plants through the stomata. Evaporation and transpiration move water from the biosphere to the atmosphere.

2. Condensation is the return of water molecules from gaseous phase (vapor) back to liquid form. Precipitation, on the other hand, is the coming down of condensed water from the atmosphere to the earth (biosphere), which is a significant part of the water cycle.

3. Exchange pool is the pool from (or approximate amount) which water or other elements are shared (back and forth) between different spheres (such as biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) in a cycle. A reservoir on the other hand is analogous to a ‘container’ that holds large masses of water or other elements such as a lake and the atmosphere.

4. The answer is No. because, today’s waters, due to increased pollution from industrialization that spews a lot of pullutans into the atmphere, ae contamiated. The water that precipitates is tainted by gases such as sulphuric dioxide tha makes it acidic. The water also gets polluted by other pollutants in the atmpshre and biosphere and hence become a health risk to animals and humans that drink it.

Which level of consumer has access to the smallest supply of energy?
Klio2033 [76]
The shorter the food chain, the larger amount of energy obtained. 
Hence, the consumer furthest away from the producer obtains the least energy. 
The quaternary consumer is furthest away. Most energy is lost by then. Hence, it has access to the smallest supply of energy.

Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in which phase of the cell cycle? see concept 12.3 (
miskamm [114]
Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In mammalian cells , this checkpoint is called the restriction point. The G1 phase is a phase of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this phase the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for the subsequent steps leading to mitosis. It ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase.
