Answer:
Lactose is more likely to be utilised by E. Coli than Arabinose because Lactose will yield more energy (ATP) and lactose breakdown will give glucose and galactose and these will enter into the glycolytic pathways to pyruvate for ATP generation until Arabinose which will undergo Pentose phosphate pathway and this does not produce enough energy.
Answer:
Even in a chemical reaction when atoms interact and create new products, mass is conserved. This is because the new substances created are composed of atoms that were present in the reactants. The atoms from the reactants come apart, rearrange, and re-bond in a different arrangement to form the products.
An example of vesiscle-mediated transport would be cell secretion by exocytosis.
The reason why this would be an example of vesicle-mediated transport is because all the other types of transport listed here are not something you would call vesicle-transport; the substances don't really get transported in vesicles. This is different in exocytosis where the compounds gets packaged into vesicles.
