Compartments A and B are separated by a membrane that is permeable to K+ but not to Na+ or Cl-. At time zero, a solution of KCl

is poured into compartment A and an equally concentrated solution of NaCl is poured into compartment B. Which would be true once equilibrium is reached?
A. The concentration of Na+ in A will be higher than it was at time zero.
B. Diffusion of K+ from A to B will be greater than the diffusion of K+ from B to A.
C. There will be a potential difference across the membrane, with side B negative relative to side A.
D. The electrical and diffusion potentials for K+ will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
E. The concentration of Cl- will be higher in B than it was at time zero.

Answer:

The electrical and diffusion potentials for K+ will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Explanation:

The cell potential may be defined as the potential difference between the inside of the cell and outside the cell. This difference is important for the transmission of nerve impulse.

The equilibrium condition may be defined as the condition at which  the exit and the entrance of the ions will be equal. As the information in the question, Only potassium ions will move inward and outward of the cell. The potassium ions will move in opposite direction since the equilibrium has been reached.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Some fungi are unicellular organisms which feed off human tissues making a person ill. How do these fungi compare with bacteria
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Fungi are unicellular organisms  eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as mushrooms, yeast, and molds.

Bacteria are group of  single-cell microorganisms present in different shapes such as spirals, rods or spheres.

<em>Some of the fungi can causes disease and infection to humans same as bacteria.</em>

Fungi infects humans primarily through their skin. As fungi reproduce through spore formation often present in the air and soil and come in contact with human body surface which further multiply at body surface and infects human. Some of the fungal infections include ringworm,  athlete's foot and jock itch.

Same as Fungi bacteria also enters into human body and multiply within the human cell causing human diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever and cholera.

Round pea allele R is dominant to wrinkled pea allele r, while yellow pea allele Y is dominant to green pea allele y. Homozygous
allsm [11]

Answer:

RrYy (F1 generation)

Explanation:

This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two genes in the pea plant; one coding for seed colour and the other for seed shape.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, an allele is capable of masking another allele in a gene, the allele that masks or is expressed is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele.

Homozygosity of a gene refers to it having the same type of alleles while heterozygosity refers to having different alleles.

In this example, allele for Round (R) and Yellow (Y) pea is dominant over the allele for Wrinkled (r) and green pea respectively.

Homozygous round green pea (RRyy) crossed with Homozygous wrinkled yellow (rrYY) will give rise to a heterozygous round yellow (RrYy) F1 offsprings.
