wariber [46]3 years ago

During osmosis A) pure solvent diffuses through a membrane but solutes do not. B) pure solutes diffuse through a membrane but solvent does not. C) pure solvent and a solution both diffuse at the same time through a membrane. D) gases diffuse through a membrane into a solution and build up pressure.

Answer:

Explanation:A.

The net movements of solvent from the region of higher water potential (solvent) to a region of lower water potential(solute) through  a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. It is a peocess where the solute dissolved in the solvent and the resulting solution pass the selective permeable membrane,A selective permeable is  the type which allows water,gases, and  non polar molecules to pass through, but restrict polar and other large molecules  through its walls.

Generally during osmosis,the water molecules and solute molecules interacts.These interaction ,due to dipole dipole effects of the water molecules, reduced the pressure of water on the solute in solution .Consequently, the water molecule of the pure water (the  solvent )exerts more pressure on the weaker solution i,e higher water potential

Hence,this pressure forces water molecules across the semi permeable membrane,from higher water potential to lower water potential.It is the major biological process of plants and animals.

Explain how the eyespot, the flagella and the chloroplast enable Chlamydomonas to photosynthesise.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The eyespot, the flagella and the chloroplast enhances the photosynthesis capability of chlamydomaonas.

Explanation:

generally eyespot is chlamydomans helps to detect the light. Flagella is a small motor like structure which helps to swim them towards the light. Chloroplast is most important for photosynthesis as it contains a pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for the green color of the leaves. it enhances the procedure of photosynthesis with the help of sunlight.

How does the alternative complement pathway kill the invading microbial cell?
Gnesinka [82]

<u>Answer:</u>

The alternative complement pathway kill the invading microbial cell by enhancing the phagocytosis of microbes by host cells.

Option: (C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The complement pathway is an immune system which destroys the microbes with protein complex and phagocytes.
  • It has tree types namely 'classical, alternative and lectin pathway'.
  • In alternative complement pathway complex \mathrm{C}_{3} protein complex kills the microbes in two ways,
  1. It attaches to the cell wall of the bacteria and kills by lysis
  2. Stimulates the formation of "Membrane Attack Complex(MAC)" which causes lysis of the bacteria.

Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of 100 offspring, 25 of them have long hair. What are the probable gen
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Ss (male) × Ss (female)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. Based on the information in this question, the allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that a guinea pig will only be phenotypically long-haired if the genotype is "ss".

According to this question, Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of the 100 offsprings produced by this cross, 25 of them have long hair (recessive). This means that the phenotypic ratio of this cross is 3 short hair : 1 long hair i.e. 100 - 25 = 75 short hair. 75/25 = 3/1 = 3:1

To produce this phenotypic ratio, the parents must both be heterozygous (Ss) for the hair length gene.
