When blood supplies oxygen and food to a cell surface and these molecules diffuse across, we might expect some "resting time." H

owever, if we inspected most cell membranes in a living human body, we would find a nearly continuous flow of substances back-and-forth across the plasma membrane. Which of the following is not a reason why? a) Cell metabolism is constantly using up oxygen and raw materials; this lowers their concentration so more will diffuse into the cell. b) Cell metabolism is constantly producing waste molecules; this increases their concentration so more will diffuse out of the cell. c) Cells produce useful secretions; this increases their concentration and more will diffuse out of the cell. d) Cell metabolism constantly produces carbon dioxide in respiration; this increases its concentration so more will diffuse out of the cell. e) Cells are living entities and in order to live can never "rest".

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Blood is the main connective tissue of the body. Blood helps in the transport of oxygen, nutrients and the excretory product of the body. Blood also provides immunity as it contains white blood cells.

The resting time is expected during the diffusion process. But the substance continuous back and forth in the body. This is because cells are the main living entity of the organism. The cells are never at rest in order to live and their resting time is not possible.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

Over 1,800 mutations have been described within the CFTR gene. These mutations can be readily detected using PCR and DNA sequenc
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.

As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.

The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

If you cant prove a hypothesis, then how do scientist learn?
bearhunter [10]
Hypotheses must be provable. If scientists cannot prove a "hypothesis" right or wrong, they need to change it to a legitimate hypothesis - something you can prove.

If it is proven wrong, they can change certain aspects of it to make a more specific experiment.
